[Question] Pneuma mechanics

[Fail.Coder]

Hey, I don't know if this is the right place or not, but here goes!

Let's say we have some ranged-attack monster that I get within melee range to. Then, let's say I let loose a Pneuma on the cell I'm standing on. So, both myself and the monster are within Pneuma's 3x3 area of effect. Would the monster's regular attacks still work on me?

The monster's normal attack is considered ranged, so even if it was in melee range Pneuma will still stop its attacks.

More detailed reply:

If a monster's normal attack is 4 cells or more, then its attacks are always considered long range regardless of where you are. You can stand right next to the monster so that it's a range of 1, pneuma still works in this case.

If a monster's normal attack is 3 or less, then its attacks are considered melee even though it has a longer range than just 1 (eg: Valkyrie has a range of 3, but you still need safety wall not pneuma to neutralize her attack, because 3 or less in range for a monster is still considered melee.)

Thank for both for the swift replies! They've both been very helpful.
