In regards to this guy's trait:



Is the word "other" in reference to him or the KO'd character? In other words, does he take damage from his trait if he activates it when a friendly character adjacent to him is KO'd?

It's referring to the friendly, not this guy, if the wording says "that character".

Game effects are always written to be self-referential. He does not damage himself.

. . . . . . .

Wait, what?

Care to explain how the Commander can't get hit by activating his effect when a KOed friend is adjacent, Lantern? Now I'm curious, because I'm clearly missing something.

OH.

(Edit 2)

I think I get it, now. "Other" is "all other characters besides the Romulan Commander," not "all other characters, including the Commander if he happens to be around?"

Thank you!

Never mind that. I read the question wrong. Whoops!

The "other characters" means "characters other than this figure". He's the one dealing the damage, not the KO'd character. It is written to be self-referential.

If it didn't say "other", then it would hit him.

Thanks, bud. This is what I get for trying to decipher Clixese after grading freshman comp papers for two weeks straight.
