Hi,

Just wanted to know what the ruling on a character using Charge, Super Strength and B/C/F would be?

I'm understanding Super Strength to be a passive ability that does not require a power action to use, so would this scenario be legal?

scenario:

I'm playing AN036 Animal Man. At the beginning of my turn, Animal Man uses his ANIMAL TEMPLATE trait to copy Super Strength (a standard attack power) from AN004 Gorilla City Warrior who is within 8 squares. Animal Man then proceeds to charge (since he is still on his first click) an opponent, pick up a heavy object on his way, and roll a successful close combat attack on his opponent. Can he then proceed to roll for b/c/f? adding + 2 to his results for the heavy object he is carrying?

thanks!

That all works, except BCF locks the damage value... so you just wasted a heavy object.

Better to choose not to roll for BCF on this attack, dealing normal damage +2 for the object, and THEN push next turn to follow up with BCF.

this is exactly what i was wondering. thanks for the quick reply!
