Sorry, I couldn't find a previous article.

(By the way, don't do a Google search for "Grim" and "Piercing". Results are gross.)

So, how does the LE Thing's Trait work against Armor Piercing?

I guess it's no good, because the trait is still a damage reducing thing and the Feat says "can't be reduced".

And while I'm here, what good is LE Human Torch's special power? Does it really deal 2 damage to everyone hit by Energy Explosion? Can his damage be Perplexed up by Mr. Fantastic so that the EE would deal 4 to each opponent hit?

Lastly, with Victor Von Doom's Mind Swap power, does he have Running Shot as if he had one target, or does the one target thing only apply to Mind Control?

Correct.

As written, it works no differently than any other EE. (We will be getting errata.)

just the MC

Ben's trait
If damage dealt to Benjamin J. Grimm or a friendly character with the Fantastic Four keyword adjacent to Benjamin J. Grimm is not otherwise reduced, reduce the damage dealt by 1.

Armor piercing
Choose a character.

Damage dealt by this character may not be reduced below 1.

well this one does not say for powers like PB and stuff so
i would and should think you try to reduce it (trait) but it cannot be reduced below 1 therefore you get smacked for 1.


:edit (adding to my old one):
in the case of doom's MC and RS though I know what they meant by it, but with the statement as

MIND SWAP: Victor Von Doom can use Running Shot and Mind Control (as if he had 1 arrow).

i can see where there is room for arguement saying when he has running shot he can only use 1 arrow........actually when using running shot you can only use 1 arrow anyway?

gimme a sec,.....hitting the rulebook

Multiple ranged combat targets. All characters have one
( ), two ( ), or three ( ) lightning bolt symbols printed
next to their range values. The number of lightning bolts is the number
of different targets the character can target with a single ranged combat
attack. A character can’t target the same character more than once during
a ranged combat attack.
If a character attacks more than one target, that character must be
able to draw a clear line of fire to each target. A character can use its full
range against each character targeted. A character is not required to target
as many characters as it has lightning bolts.
When your character attempts to affect more than one target with a
ranged combat attack, you make only one attack roll; compare this attack
total to every target’s defense value. Some targets with low defense values
might be affected, while others with high defense values might not be
affected. Whenever you target multiple opposing characters with a single
ranged combat attack, divide the attacker’s damage value any way you
choose among the successfully hit targets; a successfully hit target can be
dealt 0 damage or any nonfractional amount of damage, provided that all
damage dealt is divided among the successfully hit targets.



nope never mind i was on drugs

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Harpua again.


I like the rumoured errata: EE damage will be 2 x H, where H is the number of times the target is hit by his EE. So, with two lightning bolts, Johnny could attack two adjacent targets, and deal 4 damage to each of them, 4 damage to the opponents right behind them, and 2 damage to everyone adjacent to them.

That would be true if he had 2 lightning bolts. By my count, he has just 1.
