1. Does pulsewave affect opposing characters within range but on elevated terrain?

2. Does pulsewave ignore the +2 defense bonus from carrying the desk? It ignores all powers so would it ignore the superstrength that is required to carry the desk?

3. Does pulsewave ignore ICWO defense bonus and protected?

Only if you can draw LOF to them (i.e. they are on the edge of the building).

No. The desk is not a power, team ability, or feat. It is an object with special rules. PW does not ignore objects.


Yes, because they are feats. PW ignores powers, team abilites, and feats.

1. Pulse Wave is effected normally by terrain, so if they aren't on the edge of the building, they won't be effected.

2. I don't know if it's specified anywhere in the rules, but I'd assume yes, that PW ignores the +2

3. They errata'd the wording on Pulse Wave to include feats, so yes, PW ignores ICWO and Protected.

I understand what you are saying about the desk not being a feat, team ability or power. I really think that my opponent and I are actually trying to determine if pulsewave would ignore the superstrength or not.

2. oops i'm wrong. it does not effect the desk. they need to errata that.

PW ignores powers, but it does not remove or counter them. if that were the case, the figure would have to drop the desk. since the power is not countered and it still carries the desk, it can use the +2 modifier.

Can you use RunningShot and then pulsewave???

Better yet, what powers can you use when using RunningShot?

thanks

You can use any power that requires a ranged combat action when using Running Shot.

Pulse Wave requires a ranged combat action to use, so RS + PW is very nice and very mean too!

off the top of my head, you can use Energy Explosion, Pulse Wave, Psychic Blast, or Incapacitate with RS

you can not use powers like telekinesis, ranged combat expert, smoke cloud, or barrier with RS.

Follow up question on Pulsewave:

I know that the figure using the Pulsewave can still do it's team ability example: Suicide squad when somebody dies.

Here are the questions:
1) I just need to know if all team abilities of the figure using pulsewave can still be used for sure like my statement above. This is with the new Superman with Pulsewave (CD - Rookie). He has Superman team ability so his Pulsewave is not affected by hindering when a clear LoF can be drawn. This somehow will not work if somebody is blocking LoF. Is this correct?

2) I am still being bugged up to this point in time. Because Pulsewave ignores feats, does this mean that ICWO can't be used by the person doing the pulsewave or is it the same way that the figure using the pulsewave can use feats, team ability and all his powers? Only all the other figures within the blast radius are affected by it.

The Superman Ally TA ignores hindering terrain. It doesn't specify that this is for LOF only; they ignore hindering terrain, period. So, for PW, no character within PW range will gain a hindering terrain bonus.

No. PW does not ignore anything on the character using PW. If it did, it would ignore its own powers (including PW) and you'd be in big catch-22 loop (if I use this power, I will ignore the power, which means I can't use, but if I can't use, I won't ignore it, which means I can use it, which means...).

As such, the ICWO on the PW-ing character is not ignored and it can use ICWO just fine.

Thanks normalview.

I really would expect a lot of question on this new CD rookie Superman on his Pulsewave and Superman team ability going to be asked soon.

So were can we find the answer to rookie CD superman using PW and getting his batman TA aswell for that attack????

can he or not????

nevermind, i got it....
