We wanted som input on two different scenarios:
Scenario 1: Shooting out of close combat
You are in close combat with a foe, but you have a bow/crossbow out and you would like to attack another foe standing some way away, who is not in close combat with you. How would that affect your chances to hit?
Are you not allowed to do it, becasue you should be fully ocupied with the foe in CC with you?
Are you allowed to do it but suffer from the -3 penalty of shooting a foe in close combat with you, even though the actual traget is not in CC with you?
No penalties at all? You just step aside and take your shot without leaving CC?
Scenario 2: You want to shot a foe who is currently involved in CC with an ally of yours.
Do you risk hitting your ally? In that case how do you calculate that?
