I did a search for Fin Fang Foom and I don't think I saw my questions answered.

Foom's Force rules state he can only be given a single action a turn, period (it doesn't matter if it's a free or a non-free action).


The clarification on Mind Control in the PG has this entry.


Does Foom being MC'd by either a friendly (Mole Man) reset his one action rule?

I don't think it does as that's a general rule for Foom and not any particular power or ability he may posses. Can anyone tell me if that's wrong and why?

Also, what exactly does "duplicate" mean in regards to this portion of Foom.


Does that mean something like Arwen's penetrating Smoke will not effect Foom as "penetrating" is a duplicate effect of Exploit Weakness?

Thanks!

I'm not looking at his rules, but I can almost certainly guarantee you that this line:

is intended to refer to non-free actions only. It would be a redundancy (even during that era), but I assume that is the intention.

Thanks! His rules don't make any other reference to number of actions and a rules friend said the same thing as you. Weird that they inserted that line.

What about my second question regarding penetrating damage?

you can give him as many action as you have as many mole man that has hit him to MC him. Like i got 12 mole men i use them and fin fang foom i give fin one action to attack then i use the mole men to MC him and attack 12 more time if i hit his def all 12 times or how many action i have per points of the games.

Penetrating damage is not a duplication of Exploit Weakness or Psychic Blast. It's just Penetrating Damage.

But, more importantly, if Fin Fang Foom ignores Mind Control, how can Mole Man MC him?

he ignores the other player's MC not friendlly
