Can CoG SS have his flight status outwitted. i.e. to make him grounded?

Yes

Power Cosmic only prevents powers (and team abilities as applicable) from being outwitted

The ability to soar is not a power

Nice...





filler

If by grounded you mean 'not flying', then no.

Outwit can bring a soaring character down to hovering, but it can't eliminate their ability to fly altogether.

wow you learn something new everyday,... so if someone is soaring I can outwit them to make them hover,... but of course if they are soaring my LOF is half so I would have to be 5 squares away,.... very intresting

I've got to say, I've only seen soaring used only once or twice in all the years I've been playing this game.

Can anyone show where that is stated in the rules? I can't find it and can't seem to find anything in the FAQ. Thanks.

From the PAC: "OUTWIT (OPTIONAL): Once during your turn (but not during another action), as a free action this character counters a power possessed by a single target opposing character. Treat the target as if it does not possess the countered power. That power remains countered until the beginning of your next turn. A character using this power must be within 10 squares of the target and have a clear line of fire to the target. Instead of a power, you may choose to counter an opposing flying character’s ability to soar; in this case, lower the soaring character to hovering mode. If this character loses Outwit or is KOd, the countered power returns immediately."

And if the whole 'able to Outwit a PC/Quit figs ability to soar' is what you were asking about, t4st, just read the TA description:

Power Cosmic: Members of this team do not take pushing damage and their powers cannot be countered. This team ability cannot be copied by wild card team abilities.

They do not actually possess an immunity to Outwit (or anything that fancy sounding )... they simply can't have their powers countered. The ability to soar is not a power.
