<ul><li> <u>Number of attacks</u>
<ul><li> Point-Blank gives you an extra initial melee attack (even though, RAW, it doesn't meet the criteria). (<b><a class="external text" href="http://privateerpressforums.com/showthread.php?261896-Point-Blank-and-Initial-Melee-Attacks&p=3737055&viewfull=1#post3737055" rel="nofollow">Infernal Ruling</a></b>)</li>
<li> If you can make additional melee attacks, these can be Point-Blank attacks regardless of the weapon's ROF. (<b><a class="external text" href="https://privateerpressforums.com/showthread.php?278963-Point-Blank-and-purchasing-additional-attacks" rel="nofollow">Locked Thread</a></b>)</li>
<li> If you have the option of choosing between ranged or melee attacks (for instance you combined Point-Blank with <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Gunfighter" title="Gunfighter">Gunfighter</a>), then you need to declare whether you're making melee or ranged attacks this activation, <i>then</i> declare the weapon and the target. (<b><a class="external text" href="http://privateerpressforums.com/showthread.php?261896-Point-Blank-and-Initial-Melee-Attacks&p=3737055&viewfull=1#post3737055" rel="nofollow">Infernal Ruling</a></b>)</li></ul></li></ul>
<ul><li> <u>AOE</u>
<ul><li> Point-Blank AOEs work just fine, because the AOE template isn't tied to the range. </li>
<li> You make a melee attack roll then if you hit you centre the AOE template, or you miss and deviate the AOE template (it can only deviate 0.25"). </li>
<li> If you have a buff to melee damage rolls (such as <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Flaming_Fists" title="Flaming Fists">Flaming Fists</a>) then it will affect the blast damage rolls too.</li></ul></li></ul>
<ul><li> <u>Sprays</u>
<ul><li> Point-Blank sprays <b>don't</b> really work. The spray template is intrinsically linked to the attack's range, and Point-Blank overwrites the range. </li>
<li> You still get one attack tho - you make the melee attack roll, then go straight to the melee damage roll. You never put the spray template down.</li></ul></li></ul>
<ul><li> <u>Other</u>
<ul><li> Since Point-Blank only works during your activation, you can't use it on free strikes or other out-of-activation melee attacks.</li></ul></li></ul>
<ul><li><span style="font-size:100%"><u>Gunfighter vs Point Blank</u> (<a class="external text" href="../indexf428.html?title=Template:RC_Gunfighter_vs_Point_Blank&action=edit" rel="nofollow">Edit</a>) </span>
<ul><li> <span style="font-size:100%">If a model has <i>both</i> Gunfighter and Point Blank, then you should declare whether you're using it as a ranged attack or melee attack whenever you shoot the gun. Because that can limit what other initial/additional attacks you can make. (<b><a class="external text" href="http://privateerpressforums.com/showthread.php?261896-Point-Blank-and-Initial-Melee-Attacks&p=3737055&viewfull=1#post3737055" rel="nofollow">Infernal Ruling</a></b>)</span></li>
<li> <span style="font-size:100%">These two abilities are subtly different, but it's an important difference.</span></li>
<li> <span style="font-size:100%">Gunfighter allows you to make <b>ranged attacks</b> <i>while in melee</i>.</span></li>
<li> <span style="font-size:100%">Point blank allows you to make <b>melee attacks</b> <i>with your ranged weapon</i>.</span>
<ul><li> <span style="font-size:100%">Since you can't make both ranged and melee attacks in the same turn, a Gunfighter model has a choice of <i>either</i> initial melee attack(s) or initial ranged attack(s). (unless it has Virtuoso or something).</span></li>
<li> <span style="font-size:100%">Whereas a Point Blank model chooses to make initial melee attacks, and then gets to make attacks with both weapons.</span></li></ul></li>
<li> <span style="font-size:100%">Furthermore, the types of bonuses, penalties, and special effects you (or your opponent) can trigger will change dramatically:</span>
<ul><li> <span style="font-size:100%">Any buffs/triggers on ranged attacks (such as <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Evasive" title="Evasive">Evasive</a>, <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Shield_Guard" title="Shield Guard">Shield Guard</a>, <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Deadeye" title="Deadeye">Deadeye</a>, etc) will affect Gunfighter attacks, but not Point Blank attacks.</span></li>
<li> <span style="font-size:100%">Any buffs/triggers on melee attacks (such as <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Battle_Lust" title="Battle Lust">Battle Lust</a>, <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Riposte" title="Riposte">Riposte</a> etc) will affect Point Blank attacks, but not Gunfighter attacks.</span></li></ul></li></ul></li></ul>
