Combat (Common)

[cel] Strike: 1R damage or make a ranged weapon strike. This strike cannot be dodged.
[CEL] As above, with an additional strike.

Does that mean that if weapon inflicts aggravated damage, this stike does it also?

You're making a ranged weapon strike with all restrictions and
characteristics relevant to that particular ranged weapon strike.

But not a 'ranged' weapon. Ivory Bow will work, Talbots Chainsaw won't.

cardtext: 'make a ranged weapon strike'

this is (I assume) meant to be understood as: 'make a strike with a
ranged weapon'.

I can just about see how this can be misunderstood as: make strike with
a weapon and that strike will be ranged', though I thought it was
fairly obvious what it does.

another thought:
from 6.4.2. Determine Range
'If a minion uses the maneuver from a strike card or a weapon, he is
effectively choosing his strike as well.'

I assume using a maneuver from a weapon would prevent this strike from
being played as the first strike that round.

"Ranged weapon" isn't quite right.

Both "ranged" and "weapon" modify "strike".
Make a ranged strike that is a weapon strike.

but the weapon has to be able to do ranged damage, right?
otherwise I am misunderstanding this horribly...

(and regarding using the weapons maneuver):

ok, makes sense since IIRC the rules say that you must strike with the
weapon you used for the maneuver, which you would still be doing if you
played this card.

Hmm now I'm confused.. I thought it's something simillar to earthshock
so you can use close-range weapons at long range. But that would be bad.
This wording isn't clear to me, though. It's too close to "strength ranged damage".

Yes. The weapon strike has to be a ranged strike.
And the ranged strike has to be a weapon strike.

One instructs you to make a strike. That strike must be of the type
indicated ("ranged weapon strike").

The other describes the effect of a strike: it inflicts damage
of a certain amount and type ("strength ranged damage").

No, it is "make a strike with a ranged weapon that can't be dodged and if
you have CEL, you also get an additional strike". So if you have an Ivory
Bow or a Magnum, you can use projectile to use that weapon to make a strike
that can't be dodged, and if you have CEL, you also get an additional
strike. If you have a Sengir Dagger or a Talbot's Chainsaw, you can use the
Projectile to do 1R damage and maybe get an additional strike, as SD or TC
don't make ranged strikes.
