Stealth/Energy explosion interaction question.
Ok so this may sound a bit dumb but if I target a character with EE and he has 2 adjacent characters in hindering terrain with stealth does EE target them along with the initial non stealth target since it’s technically a ranged attack? Or does the explosion part negate that since they have to be adjacent? So In this specific situation could I hypothetically hit all 3 adjacent targets regardless of stealth?

STEALTH When it’s not your turn, hindered lines of fire drawn to this character by nonadjacent characters are blocked
ENERGY EXPLOSION RANGE: Make a range attack and all other characters adjacent
become targeted. Hit characters are dealt 2 damage instead of normal damage.
Energy Explosion would hit everyone. Stealth triggers when line of fire is drawn. Energy Explosion checks for line of fire with the attack, after that everyone that is adjacent to that person becomes targeted, friendlies included.
Also they don't get +1 to defense from it being a ranged attack because it's not a hindered line of fire.
I swear from now on I’m just going to DM you my stupid questions since you’re always one of the first to answer.
Am I? How funny.

This is a bit older of a ruling but the mechanics haven't changed aside from EE being passive now. Also the other guys in the explosion don't get Shape Change.
I was the one posting about the green lantern battery lot a few days ago. Had 2 more posts I deleted because you were the only person who answered. The link helps huge with the wording of shape change and masterminded well since that was my next question I was going to look up, thanks!
No prob. I used to be more active a couple years back and took a break. But I'm starting to get back into the game, although less competitive. I used to have the rules down but they've changed a bit so I might not know them all. Used to have the guy that wrote the rules at our LGS which was also super helpful, especially since he used to answer my questions immediately
