Re: Fairchild's Boarding House ((OOC II))
Actually, the Gang-up bonus is +1 per other ally adjacent to the foe, so it's only +2 if there are 2 others next to it (the one between Moses and Walks The Night Alone, for instance).
If you want to cast in the same action that you attack, you'll take a -2 penalty on both the casting roll and the attack roll (which means you would fail to hit) unless the power is the one you chose for your Adept edge, which can be cast as a Free action but only targets yourself.
