Ok so here is a question last night that a friend of mine asked. I was saying that it kind of blew that you could no longer roll impervious for incap and MC attacks since they are 0 or no damage attacks and impervious only allows you to roll if you are going to take damage. His question was say you have Green Arrow surrounded by 4 Psylockes and you roll to Incap Amazo so that with the Enhancement he would take a push and a couple of clicks. Would he be able to roll for impervious now that it is a damaging attack? Would he only get to roll on the damage but still have to take the push? What is the ruling on this. I would assume that you get a chance to roll to get rid of the whole thing.
Technically, you can use your impervious roll for an incapacitate attack but it does you no good. Even if you are successful you simply reduce the damage dealt to 0 (which it was to begin with assuming there is no enhancement) and you are still hit (hence the token goes on and could create pushing damage which can't be avoided).
So in the other scenario, you get to roll impervious any time the character takes damage (0 or more) but you can only reduce the damage dealt. Amazo could roll to reduce the damage to 0 (and would reduce it by 2 no matter what) but couldn't avoid being hit (and the token would be put on him).
With MC, since it's no damage the character is never being dealt damage so impervious is useless there.

Interesting thanks I think the new ruling is more in "flavor" of what Impervious should be. Basically saying you can hit me all you want doesn't mean that it is going to hurt me.
Originally posted by Silver Lantern so if a character is incapacitating, but happens to be adjacent to his enhacement guys hedoes damage?
If he is incapacitating using a ranged attack (enhancement only works for ranged attacks) then yes, you can enhance up the damage dealt. This does not work for "no damage" attacks such as mind control (and others).

Right - Incapacitate reduces your damage to zero, but Shield or Enhance can add damage to it. Perplex, before anyone asks, cannot, because Perplex affects the characters damage before the incapacitate, and thus the damage is still reduced to zero.
