My nightcrawler is trying to attack friends shehulk who has toughness. When using his close combat hss attack can i roll until i miss and keep hurting or her or does her toughness just keep reducing the one damage. Thanks.

GH is correct, and here is why:

So, you add to the damage value of the attacker for each successful attack after the first. The damage dealt to the target is equal to the final damage value of the attacker. So, If NC is successful with 4 attacks, his total damage value is 4 for the attack. This is the damage dealt to the target. Then the Toughness is applied, changing the damage dealt to 3 damage taken by She-Hulk.

Hope this helps...

also as I recall the rule of 3 limits HSS option 2 attacks to 4 damage. the inital 1 and the 3 +1's from the next 3 sucessfull attacks.

I thought the rule of 3/Hypersonic thing was that the defense of the target only goes up by a Max of three.

that too,,,,, they sorta cancel each other out huh?

Thanks for the help guys. We played the closest game ever. It was his 600 points of fantastic four versus my 600 points of xmen. It came down to a beat up nightcrawler versus a beat up invisible woman v. I kept rolling high numbers while he kept missing. I finally knocked invisible woman out when nightcrawler was on his last click. It was alot of fun.
