Jean Grey-Telepathic Assault Q

[doctor_x]

Mutants & Monsters' Jean Grey's sp Telepathic Assault says:

TELEPATHIC ASSAULT: Jean Grey can use Mind Control and Running Shot. When Jean Grey uses Running Shot, she can use Mind Control as a free action instead of being given a ranged combat action.


My question is:

Can she do a running shot into base contact with an opposing fig and still be able to use MC on it?

Yes. She can use MC as a free action and MC can be used either at range or in close combat; the special power never specifies that the MC can only be used at range.

And when doing that, you would be making a close combat attack so if the target had Combat Reflexes, etc. it would get the defense bonus.
