Let Me Assure You Our Intentions Are Peaceful: Perplex. UNIQUE MODIFIER - When Koloth uses it he may instead modify defense +1 on himself and all friendly characters that are adjacent or have the Klingon keyword.
PERPLEX FREE: Minimum range value 6. Choose a target character within range and line of fi re. Modify one of that character’s combat values +1 or -1 until your next turn.
When he modifies defense for all friendly figures with the Klingon keyword do they still have to be within range and Line of Fire?
