AoE (Non)Selective and Range Modifier

[Mad Fnorder]

If a character has an AoE/Explosion Attack with Selective or Non-Selective on it, clearly they need a hit roll to hit the hex they're landing the attack in, effected by Range Modifier. Do you then have a range modifier against everyone in the radius? Furthermore, does the range modifier increase as the AoE goes outward? I.E. If the explosion starts 8 hexes away and ends up hitting somone 10 hexes away, are you at an additional -2 penalty?

 

Confirmatory follow up- does a No Range Selective AoE have a range mod on anyone at all?

Re: AoE (Non)Selective and Range Modifier

 

With a Selective or Nonselective Area Of Effect, the Range Modifier applies to all targets (unless the No Range Modifier Advantage has also been purchased). Calculate the Range Modifier separately for each target; thus, depending on the size of the Area, a target in one part of the Area may have a different Range Modifier from someone in another part (a part that happens to be further away from the character making the attack).
