So, the Dynamic Duo's power reads:
The current Pulse Wave wording is:
I know there have been other instances of 'This power can't be countered or ignored', and I know that it only applies to the text given (Meaning the Dynamic Duo's Super Senses could be countered, but not the modified defense), but this is the first time I've had a chance to use one of these powers.

I just played a friendly game, and the Dynamic Duo got Pulse Waved. Pulse Wave says 'Game effects possessed or used by character with a line of fire drawn to them are ignored until the action has been resolved', but the Dynamic Duo's power has the 'This power can't be countered or ignored.' An unstoppable force meets a unmovable object.

I believe any such rulings usually come down to 'Pulse Wave trumps all other effects', but I thought I would make sure. I know the Duo wouldn't get to Super Senses out of the attack, but I'm not sure if they would get the bonus to their defense. I would appreciate some help on the matter!

b.

Pulse Wave wouldn't work on the Duo's Super Senses.

I believe this is like Brainiac's "I'll Show You Impervious". The Super Senses is ignored, but the rest of the power cannot be ignored.

This has actually been stated to be changing.

Cool, if true. Where was this announced?

Changing how? The 'can't be countered or ignored' protects EVERYTHING under the special power, or PW now trumps powers that have 'can't be countered or ignored'?

I can't keep up with all the rulings. :D

b.

You might be able to ignore Super Senses but you still will not be able to counter it....

Rulebook p. 18

OK. This is going to be the official response and hopefully I word this in a way that does not upset anyone.

From here on in. When a Special Power says it can't be ignored, it refers to the entire power AND any game effects granted within it.



In the case of Dynamic Duo and "THE BIGGER THEY ARE, ROBIN...:", the Super Senses granted by the SP would not be ignored by Pulse Wave. This means that if they were attacked by Pulse Wave, they would get to roll for Super Senses.

This will not be updated in the PG as the previous "ruling" was incorrect and was not actually supported by the rulebook or the PG.

This is how similar powers will be ruled henceforth.

Cool. That interpretation is considerably more intuitive. Thanks, Chris.

Awesome! Thanks Chris! Appreciate the quick turn around and taking the time!

b.

I'm extremely happy to know that something I argued tooth and nail for gets turned around to working exactly how I said it works. I'll go ahead and pat my own back.

I wasn't even aware there was a different interpretation.

I'm upset by the bolded. I prefer the term "from here on out."
what is the game coming to. I want my country back!

I had no idea Chris became an orange! Hahaha he's famous here on HCrealms. When did it happen?

Is the defense chage a stat mod or a replacement value?
