Oh, that's how daylight savings works. Better set my clocks back two spaces.

New question: If you live in a part of the country that doesn't recognize daylight savings, can you still throw light and heavy objects 8 and 6 spaces?

Thanks for the reply. Sounds like a good thing to hold onto if you have no range.

Actually, would powers like EE and PB work with thrown objects since that is a ranged combat attack? Might be a good way to get a longer range attack for a turn.

EE, yes.
Pb, no.

Psychic Blast requires its own ranged combat action to activate, just like throwing an object does, so that wouldn't work together.
But Energy Explosion and Precision Strike don't' require their own actions to activate, so you could use either or both of those while throwing an object.

Precision Strike. I like the way your brain works. Lots of fun to be had like that.

How many of the Ultra Heavy and Ultra Light objects come in the new starter?

2 of each. Conveniently, the maximum number that can be on your force during force construction.

So for characters who can bring standard heavy objects into the game, can they be ultra heavy? Can their standard light objects be ultra light?

Examples:

Yep. Ultra heavies are considered heavy objects. Ultra lights are considered lights.

I don't have the rulebook, but presumably yes.

Ultra-heavy objects are just a sub-type of heavy objects. This is the rule now.

There is no reason to believe that ultra-light objects won't be a sub-type of light objects.

Nothing makes them "special objects" as they are.

No need to presume:

And actually, there is something making ultra-lights special objects, once some are printed with that thing:

There's something making light and heavy objects special objects too, if they happen to be a special object.

Sort of pointless to make that statement, isn't it?
Light, heavy, and ultra-heavy objects are also special objects if they have the special object symbol. So what?

Did you not understand "as they are?"

So what with throwing being essentially useless, and the average cost of characters being what it is, the Heavy Object is an almost totally pointless thing now. Well, outside of TK, I guess. Still, by making UHOs free, regular HOs are about 60% pointless now.

Except it fits in a single square and doesn't look like a turret.

So the tank turret is obsolete now i guess huh? Will these new objects be available for PnP?
