so someone with outwit and poison, in this instance the harley duo figure outwits my tough so that their poison goes through

but i thought poison happens at the begining of the turn , true outwit doesnt specify when can happen but poison ha sto bee the first surely?

Outwit can be used anytime during your turn.

The beginning of your turn, during which things like Leadership and Poison occur, is part of your turn.

Run a search of this forum and you'll find the plethora of threads already devoted to this topic

Actually, no. Outwit can happen any time during your turn. Which means it can happen at the beginning of your turn, the same time that Poison occurs. And since they happen at the same time, the controlling player chooses which happens first. Hence, Outwit your toughness, then poison you for one damage.

wow thanks guys, still doesnt make a lotta sense but thats made harley and that better from bad

Your beginning of turn ends when a non free action is taken. Free actions can be taken at any time except during another action. So as a controlling player you take a free action to outwit then a beginning of turn ability to poison. Hope this helps it make sense.

Not quite. From the player's guide:

Turns
 The "beginning of turn" ends with the first non-free action assigned to a character, unless that action specifically states that it can be given during the beginning of the turn.


So you can give characters power actions, move action, combat actions, etc. as much as you want during the beginning of the turn... provided that their description says that you can. Using ICWO to turn Oracle's dial, for example, is a power action that occurs during the beginning of the turn.

It's part of what made LAMP so mean. Ah the classics.

Well, kinda. ICWO allows a (non-free) power action that occurs at the beginning of your turn. If you have a team full of Poisoners In Contact With Oracle on her card, they could use up all of your actions at the beginning of your turn - each of them taking a turn to gain Outwit and then Poison an opposing character.

Other than ICWO to turn her dial, are there any other non-free actions which can be taken at the beginning of the turn?

Off the top of my head, no... doesn't mean that their can't be in the future.

Of course not. Just wanted to double check that there weren't any yet.

Siphon Power I believe can let you use the X-Men TA as a Power Action at the beginning of each player's turn.

Applying the language rules we have now, I would tend to agree that it reads as such now.

That said, I believe that the intention of the card at the time was for "use" to be the equivalent of "copy."
