lunge, CCE, and Movement

[CHARLIE666]

Lunge:
Prerequisites: Close Combat Expert or Leap/Climb

Choose a Character
When the character is given an action, but before it makes a close combat attack, it can break away automatically and move up to 2 squares.

I know this is annoying and is asked all the time, but can one use close combat expert - that is get the +2 to their damage value - while lunging? For ex. could Rorschach lunge at an opponent and do them 3 damage, assuming his attack role hits?

Also the card isn't specific on this so... Can a character w/ leap climb/CCE and, say, 10 movement, can they move a full 10 squares and count the last 2 as their lunge attack, effectively giving them a 10 movement and free close combat attack; this question seems very wrong/broken to me, but I don't know so I'm asking. Thanks

yes on the CCE. but no on the LC. however you can pounce and add 2. but you can't LC and or pounce with CCE.

[thebigmanx]

Yes for the first question. No on the second.

[RedDragon]

i'm sorry let me clear this up. you can pounce then lunge 2. not add 2.

[Xtriker47]

nope. you can only lunge for 2 then make the CCE. leap climb doesn't give you a the chance to make a close combat attack if i remember right

Still waiting for the day that people will actually try to use the search function rather than open up the 50th thread about the same question.
