Long Punch

Description:

The Fighting Pokemon has an expanded control over its Ki and extends the energy out from its body. When the Pokemon performs a physical attack, it can produce Ki in the same motion and strike a Pokemon several feet away as though they were directly adjacent.

Usage:

Upon choosing Long Punch, the User has an attack Range of 2 squares for its non-Ranged Physical attacks. (Passive)

Example:

Primeape is fighting Skarmory and wants to try to stay away from its slashing wings. However, Primeape never backs down from a fight, and intends to fight Skarmory until one of them goes down. Since Primeape has Long Punch, it can launch its punches and kicks in blasts of Ki. With its 2-square Ranged attacks, Primeape keeps some distance between itself and Skarmory's razor wings.

Notes:

Long Punch is a Level 2 Feat from Ki Attacks.

Long Punch does not affect Ranged Physical attacks like Rock Slide or Earthquake. Only non-Ranged Physical attacks have extended range, up to a maximum of 2 squares.

Despite the name, Long Punch affects any non-Ranged Physical attack, not just punching attacks. For example, if a Pokemon with Long Punch used Bite, the extended Ki energy would take the form of the Pokemon's clamping jaw.

Even though Ki is an energy accessed by Fighting types, the extension of physical moves does not make them Fighting type attacks. An attack retains its type even if it is used at Range 2.
