haymaker

[dsatow]

Purely theoretical question.  I know that if the target moves, the haymaker fails to land.  What if the initiator moves?  I think I know the answer but don't remember clearly.

 

For instance:  Hammerhands winds up on Nailbiter.  The Pranking Chicken decides to have a little fun and moves Hammerhands to the other side of Nailbiter. 

 

So does the Hammer hit the Nail or does he run a fowl?

I’m going to rephrase this question generically, to make sure everything is clear:

 

Q:  I know that if the target moves before a Haymaker lands, the Haymaker fails. What happens if the attacker is moved before the Haymaker lands?

 

A:  If a character performing a Haymaker is moved before the Haymaker lands (for example, by being Knocked Back, or being hit with Teleportation UAA), the Haymaker fails.
