I have two questions about the card endurance. I know what it does but how about the pre-req?

Prerequisites: {fist} and {starburst}


Up above is the Prerequisites, now is my question .....

(1) If your a giant say for example Super-Adaptoid, you would start out with earthbound witch states that you would have the standard speed, attack, defense, and damage combat abilitys and symbols instead of its combat abilities and symbols. this power cant be countered.

Would you be able to use endurance on that character ? Please explain.....
Now second question.... a little the same to the first but more important !!

(2) If you are using Uncle Sam you start out with this on attack ( AS BIG AS MY COUNTRY: Uncle Sam has the Giant damage symbol. ) so you would not meet the prereq for endurance but you have four clicks without it then you do meet it, then later on he gets it again...

If those endurace tokens are still on the card when you get ( AS BIG AS MY COUNTRY: Uncle Sam has the Giant damage symbol. ) back on you attack, would you stop rolling for endurace? seeing how you dont meet the prereq ? Im perty sure you would not have to but always need to double check ....

Correct. You can assign it to either. When you meet the prereqs, you can use the card. When the prereqs are gone, you are fine.

For a giant character, would you need the Prerequisites: {fist} and {starburst} on his dial for it to be played on him or would earthbound overlook the giant symbol on his dial ?

If you look up prereqs in the rulebook, you will see that it says that the dial must be able to be turned so that the prereqs are showing. You can turn the dial to EB, so you can turn the dial to meet the prereqs.

I believe that this first came up with Double-Time and activation clicks.

I might just be in the dark here...but what does Earth Bound have to do with the Prereq? EB changes the status of the Movement type, from / to It doesn't affect the at all.

It changes all symbols to: .

The figure can use Endurance when it has &.

Uncle Sam can use it while he doesn't have the symbol. When he does, he can neither ignore the push nor does he need to roll.

So really it just changes the Speed & Damage types and has nothing at all to do with the Attack or Defense type. That is what I forgot, that EB changes the Giant type to the Starburst type. Thanx.

If you had Indomitable, Duo or Sharpshooter and clicked to EB, you cannot use them. Ditto for any type of Transporter

I don't know off the top of my head if there is anyone with Indomitable and EB, but I am sure there will be one day and someone will ask this

get changed to

become

becomes

become

when EB is in effect.

If nothing else, a flying Indomitable figure (like Ms Marvel or Doom) could get hit by a ranged attack from a figure equipped with Swingline, thus giving them Earthbound for a short while.

So, those are new changes to EB...

This was one of the few changes that didn't seem to make a lot of noise.

so clarification; what happens if a character no longer meets the prereques? are the tokens removed?

example; uncle sam is given a 2nd action, and puts an endurance token on his card. the next time hes given an action he has the giant symbol at the begining of his turn so doesnt meet the prereques. do the tokens go away or does he simply not have to roll when hes a giant 9and would have to roll when he turns the power off)? also, would he be able to use this against incap push damage? (if so im guessing you could use incap to trigger an opponents endurance rolls)

I thought Uncle Sam's Giant symbol was optional since it was from a power NOT Automatic? If you don't choose to use the Giant Power wouldn't you just keep your regular starburst symbol and continue to use Endurance?

That would mean Yellowjacket can use it in this fashion to. Since hes an "optional" giant..are ya'll saying he can use endurance when he wants then shut off the power later and not roll?

actually all powers are assumed on, but essentially the same thing though since you could opt to not use it.

other optional giants whom might benefit;
emperor joker
mordru
the yellowjackets

also it would work with sharpshooter/duo granted special powers;
klarion
lead and tin
