we are in the middle of a game and have a quick question. If you perplex Gorilla city warrior's range and he uses his special power:

[quote=Minion]Whenever a friendly character named Solivar is within 8 square, GCW can use Incapacitate as if he had a range of 8...[quote]

will he new range be 9?

No, when you perplex his range he get 1; the power specifies 8 only for incap. He only can incap for 8

I believe they ruled "as if" was a replacement value, so Perplex would, in fact, increase the range to 9.

This was the last I had heard on it, I think. Check out the Shazam/Black Adam duo to be sure.

Remember, generally modifiers are checked at the time that the value would be used, and added on after. So in that regard, the range value would be checked at the time the power would be used. So I believe the range value would increase to 9 for Incap, 5 for PPB.

Always replace then modify.

The range value becomes 8 when this special power is used and then the modifier would make it a 9.
