Who can guess my question, based on the subject? Should be obivous. If a fig with Defend and Super Strength (like XP U Spidey) is holding the desk from the indoor adventure pack, does he get to share the +2 defense as well?

No. You only share the printed value on the dial.

Psylocke is right.

A better way to use this is to have Doc Ock on his SS/ESD click standing in hindering terrain next to IG while hold the desk from the indoor adventure kit.

18 DV from IG's Defend + ESD + Desk + HTB = 23 DV versus ranged attacks.

When isn't he when it comes to rules questions?

I've been wrong before......


I can't remember the last time, but it has happened.....

I'm not sure I agree with this. I'm not saying Psylocke is wrong (the world still spins, and we still have our precarious grasp on life in the univers)

But the printed number isn't always used. Defend values and the defender team is cumulative.

If IG is beside XP Spidey and then another fig is beside Spidey but not adjacent to IG then the other Fig (let's say logan) gets 18 for the defense....Spidey's printed value is 17.

On this example the printed dial is not used....leading one to a different conclusion, unless it says somewhere you can't use the desk in the way mentioned.....

This leads to an interesting question if Spidey were holding the desk and someone tried to pulsewave him......Powers are ignored.....but hindering terrain is not.....the desk is used as hindering terrain, but Spidey's SS is what allows him to use it.....does the desk still work defensively??????

the faq says unmodified value for every value sharing power or team ability

so hes still right

Ah and there is the answer........thanks.


But what about the SS and the desk and the pulsewave?

The desk is neither a power or team ability so it's bonuses are not ignored by pulsewave.

Well if you're carrying the desk it DOES NOT count as hindering as far as I know.

Canada, but if the desk ignores SS, isn't SS a prerequisite to holding the desk, hence don't you need SS to get the +2 bonus from the desk?

No but the desk has special rules. It can be used to add to your defense for an attack. From the new 3D Object Rules:
"Office Desk - May be used as a normal light object, or may increase the carrying character's defense value by 2. When either option is used, the object is destroyed when an attack roll is made."

The powers are ignored, not countered. The character still has the desk and it's the desk adding to the defense. Technically, you do need SS to get the bonus (in order to carry the desk) but "ignoring" SS during an attack doesn't mean you can ignore the desk the character is holding as it's not an power or an ability.
