OBA

[Poor Yorek]

Jay,

I understand the interpretation you are giving the wording and hence my earlier statement that the rule as written is ambiguous. I simply think that the use of ANY in 9.2 was intended only to convey that OBA has unlimited range over the board space subject only to spotting limitations. I still believe that the intention was that only a single hex may be targeted by OBA on a given activation, albeit up to three factors can be combined to do so, rather than asserting that one can activate, say, six OBA factors all at the same time, hitting up to a maximum of six separate hexes (or the same hex six times in succession or some combination thereof). I think the latter is simply too potent and hence not likely intended. I concede, however, that might be what was intended.

It would be nice if someone like Mike P or Doug M could provide a "what the intention of the lawgiver" was. It really seems poor policy on the part of APL not to have made at least some attempt at an official rules clarification and errata. Wizards of the Coast seemed pretty active in terms of producing pdf errata and clarifications in D&D.
