Right I agree but if you say tokens are irrelevant then anything pertaining to tokens no longer pertains to them meaning this power would be usable but that's just semantics and is irrelevant.

So MoE characters should just be allowed to use a power every turn when that power is designed specifically to be used once every two turns at most.

Is this how it's intended to work or should maybe that be looked into deeper?

Furthermore the MoE TA reads

Notice nothing is said about not giving action tokens.

The Rulebook reads

Therefore when an MoE character has two action tokens any effect allowing him to be given a non-free action (such as the MoE TA) should be ignored.

As it's written right now the MoE TA is completely useless.

Really?

Don't you understand every power/TA/Ability/trait breaks the "standard rules"?

Otherwise we wouldn't have willpower because the rules say when you take a second action token it causes pushing damage. Oh and invulnerability no longer works because the basic rules say when you take damage to click your dial x# of times.

Just stop it already, please.

From earlier in this very thread:

Or, more plainly, yes that is the way it is meant to work.

Nope. The TA says you can give a character a non-free action when it normally can't be given actions. Assigning tokens is byproduct of taking an action. That golden rule of action says that you ignore the part that would cause more the two tokens to be placed... so you ignore the placement of the tokens from assigning the non-free action.

Or, more plainly, MoE works just fine.

Powers/TA/Abilities/Traits are all game effects if something says no game effect can cause something to happen then no game effect can cause that to happen.

Masters of Evil doesn't add any additional tokens, it simply allows you to still take actions even if the character normally could not. Hell, you're not even adding another token for doing the free action (since you can't), you're taking an unavoidable damage and are unable to remove the existing tokens instead of the normal consequence of adding an action token.

OK I am not trying to be rude or anything but I am always teaching new people to play and I hate telling them a rule works the way it does "because I said so". Since you are saying that rule isn't ignoring an action being given it is instead ignoring an action token being placed then where in the rulebook does it say a character can't be given a non-free action when they already have two action tokens? I thought that was the rule preventing a third non-free action being given.

Disregard this post as I have found where it is stated. Thank you Normalview for helping me understand exactly how it worked.

Masters Of Evil doesn't give a free action. Maters of Evil would give a token if not for the rule I posted therefore your post about TA's breaking standard rules is completely mute. I am sorry if you are upset that you were forced to read what I posted and if it upset you. Thank you for all the courtesy you showed posting even though I offended you so.

Offended who? Haha, I was just stating facts, sir.

Reading the second half of this, I can only surmise that you replied to the wrong post and poster.

13 figures have a DPA, of those, two can use it and not take a click of pushing damage unless something takes away the Indom (Tartarus) or Quintessens TA (Imperiex).

Black Adam or Aquaman could also use the Mercenary feat (Hmmm, 100 point Black Adam, Baron Zemo, Mercenary and Inspiring Command...)

More will come There will be wildcards and MOE's with this one day.

When they first introduced transporters they had the : symbol and yet it was like 3 years before they actually had a character that had it
