Notices that PC is STILL worded so that the character with the power can use it on its own rolls & no mention of the PC character needing LOF to itself. :speechles

They look good.

Pulse Wave needs an Enemy Figure.
Impervious is not Optional.

They kept the good interpretation of Energy Explosion and cleaned it up a bit more.

I like this. Long live HERO CLIX.

Interesting if subtle change...Force Blast's target "can be dealt knockback damage," as opposed to the old wording of "may." Does that mean figures normally immune to knockback damage (Combat Reflexes) can be dealt knockback damage normally....I'm just messing. Still, it's wierd that they would change it from "may" to "can" for no reason.

Mind Control and Incap attacks are immune to Fumble Damage!
Strange...

I'm assumiong that you mean Crits?

Mind Control has been since it was turned into a no damage power.

Incap however is still subject to Crits, because it is a 0 damage power.

There's a difference.

Damn. So much for my hope that Skrulls would be changed to the wording of:
This character has shape change.

(Along those lines, I'd also love it if Batman Ally were just: This character has stealth).

It would open up so much fun from a feats perspective.

I'm a little confused by the picture example in the Giants section showing who is adjacent to Atlas. Isn't Beast adjacent to Atlas since he is standing on the edge of the building? The rules state: "if the line crosses elevated terrain and both characters are grounded, then the characters are not adjacent." Beast isn't grounded, he's elevated. Shouldn't he be adjacent to Atlas?

It seems to me that the wording on Incap makes Stunning Blow useless. After all, what good is it being able to deal damage with an Incap attack when Incap sets your damage to 0?

Other than that, it looks good to me so far...

Nah, any time a feat breaks the rules of the game, the feat is right. It's like Nova Blast - pulse wave sets the damage at 1, but NB undoes that.

Incap without Stunning Blow deals 0 damage (let's say in this example that I didn't roll a critical hit).

Stunning Blow overwrites the "deals 0 damage" clause in the Icap PAC entry to "deals damage equal to the character's unmodified damage value".

Just a note, Incap has also been a 0 damage power since they decided to defnie powers as such. Also note that 0 damage powers are defined as powers that deal 0 damage, and may be modified.

No damage powers and 0 damage powers are different. If Incap was a no damage power, then Stunning Blow would be useless (the blurb avbout Feats overriding rules notwithstanding).

Poor Morlocks, they only have 2 figures with the power, THEN, to add insult to injury, they get their whole power taken out of the PAC!!! lol

Ditto for Serpent Society. That doesn't bodes well for future characters for either of these teams.

Don't forget that it's automatic now. Not a "successful attack". So no more rolling for super senses!
