does this override the specific wording on CP about tokens? i just remember before blackest night, the ruling was if you counter the prereq (or make the person lose it), the tokens are gone.

wording:

When the character loses Leadership or Mastermind, remove all contingency tokens from this card.

followup question regarding YJ.

just to make sure i got this right.

with the new rules, a W/C cant switch to Bat Ally to make a shot illegal if they werent Bat Ally when the shot was declared...

but YJ can drop giantness to make a shot that is about to happen on him illegal, correct?

if so, what happens? is it like skrull or SC where they have to pick a different action?

The specific wording on Contingency Plan would override the general rule.

Correct.

The attacking character could declare a different action, but does not have to. You could give another character an action or end your turn. If you did the latter, the attacking character would not get a token.

ok, but the specific wording only mentions "loses", not "counters", so does that mean that if leadership is countered, the general rule of the tokens staying applies, but if leadership is lost due to dmg, the specific rule of the feat makes them go away?

i only ask because this is different than the previous ruling....

I can't speak to past rulings, but the current ruling is that if a power is countered then it is lost. So if Leadership/Mastermind is countered then you would remove all contingency tokens from the card.

You can lose powers a variety of different ways: damage, countering, KO, etc.

gotcha. i thought "lose" was specifically defined as not having on the dial anymore due to healing or taking dmg. thanks for clearing it up!

rep to you both

In the glossary it is, but we all know the glossary is bad, bad, bad.

From the Blackest Night glossary:

Not "bad", but certainly not the whole story.

Still, it couldn't hurt to make sure that this is clarified for future reference.

The glossary should include page numbers, so we can easily find the terms in the rulebook.

Just thought I would add that if you're making notes.
