Now with this replace then modify ruling if I were to perplex namor's (SI) speed up three and charge which would take place?
1. Speed becomes 13 half it and charge 7 or
2. Speed of 10 half it to 5 then add the modifier and charge 8.

Dang, good question. It should change to the replacement vanue of half (5) then add the perplex. My venue is still playing this the old way of perplex then half... Unless theres somehting wierd though it really should be the half then add for a total of 8. Thanks for bringing this up! Anyone better with the rules then me got something to add?

I don't think anything is really needed. Replace (5) then modify (8).

Except for the fact you can not do two actions at once even if one is a free action. If you declare charge with Namor, you then need to finish that action, before you do anything else. Therefore Perplex, then Charge.

But you're giving Namor +3 to speed, not changing it to 13.

So it could make sense that the modification, even though it was started earlier, still doesn't apply till after the replacement value comes into effect.

Though I can see it going both ways.

Combat values are checked at the time that they need to be calculated. So even though the Perplex occurs before the Charge, the combat value is not checked until the Charge. At the time of the Charge, the combat value (10) is replaced (5) and then modified (+3 to 8). So the speed value of the Charge will be 8.

From p. 6 of the Blackest Night Rulebook:

With Replace then modify you would take half of his printed, then modify by whatever value, So for SI Namor as the example, it would be 10/2 = 5 +3 = 8 for the final.

You missed the point of the question.

Yeah quess its right to half then add in the perplexes. Just never thought of that aspect of things. Too many years of perplexing then halving... Sigh...

See post #7, which I think answers the OP's question:

Wow so perplex is even better then I think look out world here comes a charging speed of 9 for kal-l. Bang zoom straight to the moon.

Doh! I forgot about the change with Blackest Night rule book... Oh well win some and lose some.
