Quick question. Lets assume I have a group of figures like such:

ABX

A and B are friendly and X is enemy.

A is Ultimate Phoenix, hovering, and currently has the click with TK power.

OK, first scenario:

Can Phoenix pick up and taxi B IF B has the Phasing ability (or Serpent Society TA)? Same situation with Phoenix TK-ing B away from X.

Second scenario:

Can Phoenix pick up and taxi B IF B has the Leap/Climb Ability? Same situation with Phoenix TK-ing B away from X.

Hopefully I havent mucked up the question too badly. Thanks!

It doesn't matter what powers B has perse. Unless B has Battle fury or the wing symbol it can be carried away. As long as A is not engaged with another person it can carry another person despite if he is engaged or not

as for tk, that would work not matter what, even if A was engaged.

a little off topic but thats why I hate naat really whats the difference if you are placed by a friendly figure with Tele. or flight. ?? now I can handel the idea of flyers cant carry another flyer but no attack after a taxi succs! thank go for house rules!

The basic thought for this is -- the taxi isn't holding onto the passenger... it's the passenger that is holding onto the taxi. After the movement is over, (s)he's too tired to take an action.

Be thankful this isn't Mage Knight. In that game, the passenger gets a token, just like the taxi.

And on top of that, you can't have taken an action before getting taxied either.

it still succs

It actually equalizes the game a bit, w/out NAAT I just use my wasp to carry Magog or Mongul or another big hitter and then clobber you for seven. W/nat, you at least have the chance to react when I move someone in to hit you. This harkens back to the old wasp carrying firelord and firelord hits for 5 in the same turn, It shortened the game and lessened the need for strategy. W/ tk you need line of site, it's a one way trip, and it can be outwitted or cancelled w/ bfcs. I personally prefer the strategy.

Hey,

Noob here. Can you elaborate on this last part ? When you say "it" can be canceled, what does the "it" refer to ? TK ? I think I understand that you can outwitt the T/K power for the turn but what about BFC's? How does that come into play ?

Thanks in advance.

A BFC such as Poor Team Work prevents TK from being used to move figures. On the other hand, BFC like Darkness or Deep Shadows limits the effective range of TK to 6 (as opposed to 10).

Stupid, stupid, stupid... Where can I get an icon of the smili hitting his/its head against a wall...

Reading Normalview's explanation, I realized that I correctly read "BFC" in Heretic's post but my little brain interpreted it as "BCF"... hence my confusion as to how BCF could affect TK.

Thanks anyway.

Olivier.
