If you pay for an object such as the cytorak gem, does it count to your 3 object total depsite the points you paid to use it?

Also does it have to start 6 spaces from your starting area as well?

Yes to all.

Thats what I thought, thanks man.

...except that 6 square thing, of course. (It's 5 or more.)

What, just because I'm Asian you expect me to be good with numbers?!

LOL

oh, its only 5 or more now? k

It was only ever 5 or more.

I have noticed that many people have trouble with 'or more' and 'or less' in powers and feats

Like Contingency Plan
If the character’s controller does not use all of his or her actions for a turn, put a contingency token on this card if there are two or fewer tokens on this card.

I had a guy accuse me of trying to cheat when I out a third token on

"and the last action goes to CP"
"You already have two tokens on there."
"Yes. And I am placing a third"
"It says you can have two"
"No, it does not"
"I will read it...put a contingency token on this card if there are two or fewer tokens on this card"
"yes...."
"So you have two"
"it says I may place a token if there are two or fewer... there are two, therefore"
"NO! YOU HAVE TWO, YOU ARE MAXED OUT!"
