You...you....you....buncha thread-jackers!!!!!!

A lot of excellent points here guys. Normalview- all your input is much appreciated.

I understand about the RS part and sharing AV via SS; I was just trying to find ways around the -2 that using the Transporter ability gives you. Any suggestions on other ways to do it?

Lots of Perplex. The rule of 3 means that the overall a stat can't be effectively modified more than 3 times. However, with the -2 modifier of the transporter move and attack, you could Perplex up the AV 5 times and come up with a net +3.

Other combination could work, too. For example, since Hawkeye has range, you could have with ICWO his AV once, Perplex the AV up twice more, than have him run up to two Hydra characters already in position. This would give you the +5, too.

2 R Con Artists with Double Time should fix that. Just have 'em knock down your target's Defense by 2, or up his AV if thats allowed.

Excellent ideas people! Are there any feats or BFC's that would help?

To boost AV? Other than ICWO, not really. Assembled BFC could help a little, but you'd need more than 4 characters with the same TA on the team.

Well, cheaper than Tbolts and V Taskmaster:

Alpha Flight Feat and E Shaman. Declaring Alpha Flight TA and Perplex from Shaman will give him 13 AV, dropping down to a very respectable 11 for the Move and Attack.

Also, a good ol' Scarlet Witch could help him too. Remember V Hawkeye has 3 targets, and if he's, say, on a rooftop corner*, he can see a whole bunch of things to shoot at. Since you are losing RCE anyway when you move-and-shoot, might as well "hedge your bets" and attack 3 targets at once. Unless your opponent is fielding an Alt FF team, he's bound to hit something, especially with 2 chances.

*Question: When Hawkeye chooses 3 targets, must they all come from the same side of his double base, or can he target 2 figs in front of him, and target one from the uhh... rear?

BFCs that help V Hawkeye: Armor Wars and Bright Lights

You could pre-place SHIELD and have Hawkeye land next to them

Then you could give them the action to activate their TA

He has be able to draw LOF all from the same square, so it is possible that the other end of the character could potentially block LOF. From the general errata (under 'Double Based Characters'):

If a line of fire is being drawn from one half of a double-base character and the line of fire crosses a square that the other half of the double-base character occupies, the line of fire is blocked.

This isn't on topic but ### word t h e is being edited so it shows up as ###. Anyone know why and can I change my preferences so it doesn't do that? I looked but didn't see any option to do so.

I think it's part of an April Fool's day joke (I hope!)
