HTH defense against guns

[Eldos]

Hi all

 

Just wondering, if I have a martial artist character can he use his martial arts defense (ie. block) against a ranged attack IF he is in an adjacent hex?

 

The rules seem a little obscure on the subject. It says a HTH attack is made when people are in adjacent hexes USUALLY with fists and melee weapons but it also says that you can't use HTH defences against ranged attacks.

No, HTH defensive maneuvers like Block can't be used against Ranged attacks, regardless of the distance between the two characters. Though as always, what a GM's willing to allow is up to him.
