first of all how did you edit without it showing?

I wasn't asking for an explanation so why quote me? I said I was confused at first, I understand now and I think the math has already been illustrated, so what are you saying exactly? Was Nero's response not adequate?

There is some arbitrary time cutoff. If you edit in, say, the first 59 seconds after posting, it will not show up as an edit. It is seen as a last-minute correction as you are posting rather than an edit.

Wasn't Nero dethroned? I thought I remember that from history. If so, much of what he did was probably inadequate.

My bad. I edited my response after I had already posted. Maybe I should stop trying to post while at work.

I think he meant necro as in Necrodog who's numerical example seemed adequate.

Isn't Nero that pimp from Sons of Anarchy?

I mess up my posts at work a lot too.


Thanks I thought I was loosing it for a second.

Yeah my spelling is screwy sometimes especially at work.

I know nothing of the historical Nero and refuse to watch sons of bikedooky cuz south park's episode about bikers is my favorite ever. Down with loud Harley's!!!!!!

I was indeed referring to necrodog's post. I feel like he should be in line for one of the next orange positions.

I enjoy going into a thread and finding Misterid's "stamp of approval" on others posts.

Hi there.
If the damage dealt is 1, half of it,would be 0,5.
Rounding up is 1. So all damage dealt is ignored?

Yes. invisible filler

Wait ... I'm just a newbie and still learning, but I though the whole point of penetrating was that it ignores game effects such as invincible? So if penetrating damage of 1 is done against somebody invincible, wouldn't it still be damage 1?

Penetrating damage can't be reduced.

Reduced is the keyword there. Invincible does not reduce damage dealt, but instead ignores it (specifically, half of it).

Ignore =/= reduce, so penetrating damage has no effect on Invincible.

Penetrating damage cannot be reduced, but Invincible ignores part of the damage, which is not the same thing. It is just as effective against penetrating damage as it is against regular damage.

No, Penetrating Damage is a specific type of damage that can't be reduced. Effects that reduce damage would not work against effects that deal Penetrating Damage.

Invincible ignores damage. It doesn't matter whether the damage is normal or penetrating, it will be ignored regardless.

Keep in mind that there are also other types of damage that can't be ignored (Unavoidable and Pushing damage) unless an effect says otherwise. Invincible would not work against damage that can't be ignored.

There's lots of damage types in Heroclix.

Wow ... never would have guessed that. To me if the damage is 4 and half of that is ignored it seems like it's been reduced (2 is less than 4 *LOL*), but I get what you're saying. Thanks!!

Something that may help tell the difference:

In normal English yes the damage has been reduced, but Heroclix(and many similar games) is very particular on wording.
