AuthorMelee - no range penalty
Hello,
I'd like to ask, if the hero has bonus damage with melee attacks, do his stacks that have no melee penalty gain this bonus or does the melee attack aply as a ranged one ?
Thanks for help
Bonus damage to melee attacks means to melee attacks only.

Stacks with no melee penalty gains this bonus if they are doing melee attacks.
Stacks with no melee penalty gains this bonus if they are doing melee attacks

I think all stacks gain bonus from this, even if they have melee pentaly
No melee penalty - the shooter unit does not suffers half damage when not dealing ranged attack. Other shooters without this ability will have the half damage penalty when melee, otherwise. So it's no bonus comparing to melee units which do not shoot at all. Might as well say all melee units have no melee penalty.
Or rephrasing it: Melee bonus means your troops do more damage with melee attacks. "No melee penalty" ability has absolutely nothing to do with it.
I don't quite follow MiAlso's and Omegas logic, it only applies to shooters,which is a boni/special ability on its own, as its said in the description.


"# Shooter:
This creature can deal ranged damage. When the distance to a target is larger than 6 tiles, the target only takes half the normal damage. The creature can't perform ranged attacks when there is an enemy stack adjacent to it. Shooters do half the normal damage when melee-attacking. The amount of ranged attacks in every combat is limited to the "Shots" parameter of every shooter. If shots go down to zero, the creature looses "Shooter" ability until end of combat. "

So as the class shooter is defined as doing "half the normal damage when melee-attacking" you have to add if that penalty doesn'T apply to some of them.
Here it is rephrased again:
Bonus damage to melee attacks works for any stack that does any melee attack. This doesn't matter whether it is a shooter using melee attacks, a shooter with no melee penalty, a shooter without any ammo left, or a non-shooter. The stack gets the bonus damage regardless of its other abilities (or non-abilities).
Alright that explains it all i guess. Thanks for the help all of you guys.
