Character A attacks character B with an attack that causes splash damage.
Character B uses Lightsaber Reflect to knock the attack back to character A.
Is character B and, any adjacent character to it, still effected by splash damage? Or because the shot was reflected back to Character A, adjacent characters to A would then be effected by splash damage?
This came up at a game today and we did not know the ruling on this.
Cheers.

All characters adjacent to Character B would have to make splash damage. Character B would not as he was actually hit by the attack and Character A would not as he wasn't hit by an attack with splash (a special ability (reflect) redirected damage to him)

The characters adjacent to character B. Character B was still hit by the attack, so no Splash damage on the target.
Things that cancel damage, or do damage back, like Reflect and Evade, do not change whether or not a character is hit, and only affects damage, not other effects.

So if the new Zuckuss shoots someone, and they make their Evade or Soresu Style save of 11, they still get stuck in place but not take the damage.
