Hello,

If I mind control an opponent's piece, and turn off his optional powers, when do they come back on?

Thanks,
Mike

At the end of your turn. Powers come off at the end of the turn they are turned off no matter whose turn it is.

Thanks, thats how I thought it was, but a judge at my venure ruled against it. Could I either get an answer from Hair10 or can someone point out where exactly in the rules it's verified?
The exact scenario was mindcontrolling someone else's piece and turning off optional impervious, if that makes a difference.
Thanks!

It states in the rule book under optional powers... that you can choose to turn them, and they remain turned off until the end of the turn.

There ya go man....

Now, to find ro_gan once more.

Just want an additional clarification, I know that Psylocke's lover is correct and I'ved used this ruling to my advantage many times.

But a friend of mine claims that if I MC a power and turn it off, it is only off when I am in control of it. And thus when it revets back to his control, it isn't off because he is now the controlling player and he did not turn it off.

Just tell him he's wrong so when I inflict this upon him he dies.

Kiryu:

MC states that, when you MC a figure, you have all thier powers and abilities available to you, even those that were previously cancelled (anything that was Outwitted remains Outwitted).

It does not state that powers you cancel are turned back on after the MC action, so they do not.
