If you have 8 movement and move 8 sqaures, can you pick up an object that is on the other side but adjacent to the eighth square?

Like this:
F is figure, o is object.

FXXXXXXXO

So yes, you can pick up the object as you move into square #8.

Where this gets confused is that there are game effects -- such as breaking away or moving adjacent to another figure -- which end your movement immediately, preventing you from grabbing on object in the final square. This is why a grounded character can't use Charge and smash another figure with the object they're standing on.

"The object must be in either asquare the character occupies or in an adjacent square."

So, you're fine.

Yeah, you're definitely fine. ^_^ Good luck!

Well, that's just it. I don't understand why you can't pick up an object that an opponent is standing on when you charge them. If you can pick an object from the last space that you move in to, what's the difference? In both cases, your move action ends in a space that has an object adjacent to it.
Trust me, I'm not meaning to be argumentative or thick, I'm just looking for a reason for the ruling.

It's the same reason why you can move your full movement and attack when using Hypersonic Speed, although the attack is supposed to be made during the move.

(emphasis is mine)

When a character moves his full speed value, and is adjacent to an object, technically, he can still move (even if it can only move 0 square), so he can pick up the object - or, in the case of Hypersonic Speed, attack.

Now, as soon as the character becomes adjacent to an opposing fig,
the movement ends, the object can't be picked up.

But if a character with HSS moves into hindering terrain causing their movement to end, they cannot then attack a character, while a charger or character with running shot could.
HSS is during movement, charge and RS are after movement.


Exactly.

So a character with movethrough, giant stride or Hypersonic Speed can grab the object beneath an enemy and smash him in the grill with it?

Yes.

To reiterate, when one becomes adjacent to an opposing character, their move ends. Hence, they can't use the rest of that move to pick up the object. Plain and simple. Anyone with a power that ignores adjacency can do whatever they want.

I know that, but picking an object happens during movement, just like attacking with HSS happens during movement, hence the comparison between the two.

So the best response would be, when you move into a square adjacent to another figure, your move action immediately ends, therefore, you are unable to pick up an object because the move action ending happens before the "picking up the object".

Does this wording sound correct?

I think it is mostly correct and works just as you said unless that character has a power or ability that allows it to ignore the effects of other opposing characters on movement, or is a flier.

One more question

If I have a SS grounded character climb a ladder and on top of the building there is a HO in the square he ends up in can he pick it up or does it stop his movement?

Unfortunately, ladders do not create adjacency, and your figure will end up getting "stuck" on the object. He cannot pick it up because his movement is terminated by the object (unless he has leap/climb or phasing or whatever... but then why is he using a ladder? )

ok so then when i start my movment and pick up the HO

do i have to half the movement or not

I was told both ways by 2 different people
