So I tried searching and couldn't find anything. I have not seen this brought up before. Perhaps I've missed it, or its one of those things everyone else sees as obvious and I'm like "wha....?"

Earthbound Neutralized says:

This character possesses , , , instead of its combat symbols. This power cannot be countered or ignored.

The is listed on the chart for combat symbols. Does this mean if a character with anything gains Earthbound/Neutralized they will not be able to utilize whatever?

It makes sense from a gameplay perspective. My reasoning would be that is one of the combat symbols replaced.

As far as I know those four combat symbols replace the ones in the equivalent slots, but other ones remain untouched.

Yeah, I thought that might be the case too, which is why I asked. I can kinda see it both ways the way it is written. I didn't really iterate that in my original post. I was pressed for time when I made it though.

Guess I'm the only one reading it that way. Thanks for the response Harpua.
