5E: Passing Throw

[Speedball]

Steve,

 

Last night at our weekly Champs game, a dispute arose between two players. The GM requested we go to you for the definitive answer.

 

The dispute: one player contended that the passing throw maneuver allows the character to continue to move :after: striking his/her target. The other argued that while the maneuver allowed for a full move, the movement ceased one the blow was attempted, leaving the characters right next to each other. Could you help us out?

 

Many Thanks,

 

Speedball

The first player is correct. Generally speaking, unless some more specific rule or description indicates otherwise, the FMove element allows a character to perform the attack involved at any point along his movement path. He can make the attack as he passes by someone and then keep moving, or he can choose to stop moving after he hits the target if he prefers.
