Rules Q&A
- Q: Yes. However, you cannot combine that ranged attack with any other cards, since you can only combine attacks within a unit.
Could you still use Arrows from the Woods to raise the strength of the ranged attack? Is that considered "combining"?
It's still legal. It's not combining.
However, AftW reads "When one of your *units* makes a ranged attack..." (emphasis mine). You've just said followers unattached by Street to Street are no longer part of a unit, so a ranged attack from one wouldn't be a legal trigger for AftW's reaction, correct? I believe this also goes for other non-unit ranged attacks, such as Guard House and the battle action on Arrows from the Woods. Am I right?
A: You're right. Arrows From the Woods' Reaction would only be legal when used on a Personality's Ranged Attack while Street to Street is in effect. It is NOT legal to raise the strength of a Ranged Attack from a "free-floating" Follower (and it's never legal to use it to raise the attack from another AFtW's Battle action).
