Two questions here:

1) Since the power activates "before damage is dealt," does that mean I can turn off a damage reducer so I can do Forge's full damage for that attack?

For example:

(Forge and Kuurth are on their starting clicks)
- Forge succesfully hits Kuurth with a ranged attack.
- Forge's Neutralizer Gun chooses to turn off Kuurth's Impervious
- Forge deals all 2 damage to Kuurth (?)

Is that scenario an accurate represntation of how it works?


2) "That character can't use that power or any combat or team abilities until your next turn"

I understand what "that power" and "team abilities" are, but what does it mean by "combat abilities"? Is that things like Flight/ Sharpshooter/ Indomitable/ Giant/ etc?

1. Yes, that is correct.

2. Yes. All combat abilities are listed under COMBAT ABILITIES on the PAC. Flight, Carry, Sharpshooter, Great Size, etc. are combat abilities.
