What exactly do they mean by the "Power of the Living Loa" can't target characters on the map? Are there KO'd characters who stay on the map that I'm not remembering?

Also, since "Power of the Living Loa" brings a dead character back to the MAP and turns it into a TARGET of Mind Control, wouldn't this clarification make POTLL useless as he can't target characters on the map???

REALLY????

Once he brings them on the map he can target them with mind control.

The changes were to stop some shenanigans that I don't fully remember. For 99% of people it works like it always did.

I think someone tried to use black talon to pull in figures into the game like the entities......

I don't think this was done for Entities. Just to keep Black Talon from messing with figures like Ra's al Ghul who sit on their cards after they are KO'd.

That part of the clarification I get. It's the "he can't target characters on the map" thing that makes me hit the WTF button.

The only thing I remember where KOed characters would stay on the map is vehicles. My guess is they added that line to prevent you from MCing wrecked vehicles and then having them disappear off the map not leaving an Ultra-heavy object behind.

That one actually makes sense to me.
Would have made A LOT more sense to say "Black Talon’s Trait “Power of the Living Loa” can’t target KO'd characters that are on the map or on character cards." but whatever...

My world is once again filled with puppies and sunshine....or something.

on character cards

If I remember correctly it was ruled you could use this power on Entites then was changed a week before worlds. There was a post by Jetery about it
