Does Power Dampening Field cancel out the ability of a figure with BCF to give damage higher than three if he/she rolls higher than that since BCF doesn't use the dials "damage value"?

Yes, it makes the damage for BCF have a maximum of 3 damage.

Ok thanks, I guess that spells the ruling out clear enough. Im not sure I agree with it because the result of a blades roll is used inplace of the base damage. Perhaps the card should read "damage dealt is not to exceed 3" ...but thanks again.

That would not be the same thing.

BCF replaces the damage value of a character. And since Power Dampening Field causes damage values greater than 3 to become 3, it similarly limits the replacement value caused by BCF.

Damage dealt, on the other hand, is what you actually deal to the character you are attacking. Damage value is just a small part of damage dealt; damage dealt is also modified by critical hits (increases damage dealt), objects (also increases), and damage reducing powers (decrease damage dealt). So if you limited damage dealt by to only 3, as you suggest, you would have to take all these other factors into account as well.

CCE and RCE isn't affected by PDF right?

Yes, they are. From the PAC:

RANGED COMBAT EXPERT (OPTIONAL): Give this character a power action. It makes a ranged combat attack against a single target character; modify its damage value by +2 for the attack. Ranged Combat Expert cannot be used when using an object as a weapon.

Nothing can raise a damage value higher than 3 when PDF is in play.

Damage dealt may still be higher, though, and the only things that increase damage dealt are critical hits and using an object with Super Strength.

Wrong, wrong, you're so wrong!!!! GAWD!!! (The Ground Zero BFC also adds to damage dealt)
