Rules for 11 November 2003
So now we need a complete list of every "special effect" even printed as part of an RA, and whether or not it makes a combined ranged attack have it's "special effect"... great.
This rule been in the rulebook *at least* since Gold Edition. People have done without a list for several years, so they'll probably be fine without one now.
[T]he alternative is a list of effects, and whether or not they "spread" as part of a combined attack. Ignoring followers doesn't, chi-based does.
That doesn't warrant a list. To resolve a action, you announce it, pick targets, pay costs, and resolve effects. Combining Ranged Attacks is part of paying the costs (Archive, Ranged Attacks), so it happens after targets are picked. Any extra text on a Ranged Attack that involves what you can target means different attacks probably can't even combine in the first place.
