"Oh man" Iceman groaned as the X-men First Class stepped out of the glowing time portal onto the X-mansion lawn. "Am I glad to be back here! After that battle through time against Kang, I thought we'd never make it home"

"You and me both Bobby" Cyclops said as he surveyed the grounds. "But at least we met our newest student, Colonel Logan"

"I told ya Slim, I'm not a flaming student" an aging Logan said. "I just need to talk to Chuck and warn him about the Sentinels, then I'm outta here".

"Say, fellows" the Beast interjected. "Has anyone else noted a certain adjustment to our beloved school grounds? I certainly don't recall that voluminous addition on the west side of the mansion"

"He's right" Jean said. "Look, over there, there are some teens on the grounds"

"Let's go investigate" Cyclops said, leading the team on recon maneuver 4 (all except Logan, who stayed behind to light a cigar)

As Cyclops heads west the rest of his squad group to the east, surveying the strange, multi-ethnic group of teens on the grounds.

"Good old Slim" Logan chuckles as Cyclops disappears behind the past the lake. "Blind as a kid as you ever were". Logan joins the larger group and sidles up near Marvel Girl, enjoying another chance with a young Jean Grey.

Note: Prof X's defend will work on all team mates with a defense lower than his.

sure but note that Moonstar would have had a 19 defense, warlocks shared 17d plus ESD I don't think she gets hindering bonus

my turn coming up

Forgot about the ES/D, no matter.

Get off my lawn you darn teens!

Receiving die rolls. I say hiss at you!

Turn 2

"wow look at these kids,... haha they look sooo preppy" Doug "I would like to but you got your flat butt in my face" Karma replies "fine I'll move"

1. Doug walks to G9
2. Karma attempts to MC Cyclops 10 vs 18 roll is 4,5 hits
2b. Cyclops will shoot Professor X with EE 10vs17 6,1 hits the professor splash hits wolverine (I know that EE splash ignores the hindering bonus, but I don't know if it ignores the ESD) Wolverine ss roll is 2 he takes one
if it doesn't count both angel and jean will also take one
3. magma runs to see whats going on at I16

I'm not sure about the ES/D, let's see

Good move by the way, always fun to see energy explosion come into play

Yes EE has always been a fav of mine, especially when I get to use it this way

I would assume that ES/D would come into play, my only doubt was that I just found out that EE ignores the Hindering Bonus

A quick rules forum check says that ES/D stays in effect, so Angel & Jean are ok (Please let me know if you find contrary)

it makes sense, like I said its just weird that hindering doesn't I'm just glad that wolverine missed his ss role

3A X-men

1) Cyclops attacks Karma, 10 on an 18 (17+hinder). 6+3=9, hits for 3. Take that new girl telepath who's not Jean!

2) Iceman flies to K-20, placing Beast in J-21

3) The Angel flies to G-18, placing the Professor in H-18
