Is there a place that has the complete rules?
They keep changing and I get the feeling I wouldn't ask so many questions if I could read the rules. I already looked on the Wizkids site and they have a supposedly complete set of rules. However, if you look at the FAQ it adds new rulings that aren't in the complete rules. That's why I didn't understand using flying and phasing to carry other characters, among other things. Also line of fire is covered as part of melee attacks when it clearly means something else (just read the description of outwit). Also, not all team abilities are covered.

For now, you need to use both the Universe Rule Book and the various FAQs. Sorry, but that is the way it is.
When DC Icons comes out in September, that will most likely incorporate most (if not all) changes since Universe came out. However, since this game is constantly evolving with new Feats, BFC, and even different types of characters, FAQs will probably always be around.
Also, don't apologize for asking questions. That is why this rules forum is here, after all.

Thanks for the reminder BBGG. I had forgotten that Gene did that. Still, it doesn't hurt to keep the actual rule book and FAQs on hand. Gene's document is not technically a Wizkids approved document and some rules lawyers could decide to be jerks about it if that is all you use for reference.
But it is a great piece of reference material for familiarizing yourself with all the little details!

Your welcome I actually have printed it all out, had it bound in a coil binder and had a laminated cover put on it. Laminated onto the front and back covers is the Powers and Abilities Card from the Universe starter set. I take it with me whenever I go play. Very handy. I know it is not 'official' but I believe that SuperGene does get all ofthe source material form the WizKids site.
