Jump up/Bombardier

Post by dode74 »

My understanding is that if a bombardier has jump up then that does not mean that if he is prone he can use JU then throw a bomb. It's still standing up, whether using JU or not.
Jump Up (Agility)
A player with this skill is able to quickly get back into the game. If the player declares any Action other than a Block Action he may stand up for free without paying the three squares of movement.
Bombardier (Extraordinary)
...The bomb is thrown using the rules for throwing the ball (including weather effects and HMP), except that the player may not move or stand up before throwing it (he needs time to light the fuse!)...
Is this correct?

Having seen the arguement brew up on cynaide's boards, I thought someone might come here and ask :)

My search-fu fails me also, but I'm pretty sure this has been hashed out before.
You are right. Jump Up cannot be used if you want to throw a bomb. As you highlighted, the Bomber must be standing first.

TOs! You do not need multiple copies of rosters. It's a waste of paper.

My knife-monkey search-fu is stronger than your leaping slann style ;)

Thanks for the pointer :D
