"Damage - Slow Down: Opposing characters that are given a non-free action within 6 squares of Inertia replace their speed values with half their unmodified speed value for that action."

Its hard to tell, but the way this reads seems like it doesn't affect runningshot and charge. When does slowdown take place, before or after I halve my movement for RS or Carge? If it happens after than it says replace your unmodified spped for the action.
Thanks guys

Ummm... what difference does it make? Either way, you end up halving the speed value twice.

but whenever two game effects occur simultaneously, the active player gets to choose the order in which they are resolved...

*edit* misread the question

I think it does matter, if you half movement for running shot, then use slow down doesn't it half the unmodiified movement, so in since it halves the original movement not the halved movement from RS?

Nope...the movement isn't modified...it is replaced. So it halves and halves again.

:edit: to clarify, halving is a replacement value, not a modification. So when you use RS or Charge, you have replaced your Movement Value and then the SP would replace the halved, unmodified, value again.

The thing to remember is that replacement values aren't modifiers though. Basically the replacement value becomes the new "unmodified" value.

Thank you for the easy to understand explanation, that makes things a lot clearer.

So, a character given a non-free action within 6 squares of two opposing Inertias halves its movement twice? Awesome.

so the moment a figure comes within Inertia's 6 square 'radius', no line of fire is required--and that figure must at that point figure out the halved value to continue its movement/attack?

My CT Blob was in hindering terrain surrounded by 8 Inertias.

He could only Charge for about negative Π + i.

No.

In the case you describe, the action is given outside of the 6 squares.

Because of the wonderful math and rounding in Heroclix (Mathclix? Clixulus?), good ol' Blob should always be able to Charge for 1 square
