I have always been under the impression that you apply Modifiers before you Half for Running shot and Charge. Tonight got a ruling that you half then modify.

So a character with the Infinity Gauntlet and the Space Gem with a 8 movement that wants to do running shot would Half the 8 to a 4 then add the 2 from the Space Gem. where he could move 6 with the running shot? (this was the ruling)

I always thought you would add the 2 then he would half the 10 to a 5 running shot.

So would he running shot 5 squares or 6 squares?

From the Rulebook:

The ruling was correct. You apply all replacements first, then apply any modifiers, so the character in your example could move 6 squares with running shot.


There was a time when it worked differently, so it's possible you learned that way and never learned the current rules.

It used to be that modifiers were applied at the moment they became available. So you perplexed up move? Well, that number was your new move and was halved

The timing issues were a constant source of pain

Then, in a fit of reasonableness, WK decided to make their rule of replace then modify just that - always

Solved timing issues. Allowed characters to actually use their powers

Modifiers now sit and wait until the combat value is used, gently wafting in the Possibility Ether
