My comment on "triggering" was in response to what is the cause of each effect. When you check for the trigger is different, and you are right about that. But the actual triggers of each have nothing to do with when actions resolve. DS is triggered by adjacency and WS is triggered by Ranged Combat Attack. Neither power's "cause" is "once actions resolve".

That was what I was saying in the response. As for timing to check for the trigger, your explanation makes sense, but I still don't agree that powers should still trigger when there is no longer a power present. That is inconsistent with the way that other powers are dealt with. In almost every other case (except Charge vs knock back), when you lose the power, you lose it.

I don't care that you met the conditions for Worldbreaker's power. Once the action resolves, there is no power. No power, no conditions met. At least, that's how I wish they would standardize it.

Nope. The trigger for WB is when he is hit by an attack. The trigger for DS is after actions resolve.





Could you point that out, please?

Not correct.

The "any" just means that it trigers, well, after ANY action. In other words, it can happen DURING another action if an action resolved.
Without the "any" there, it doesn't happen until after ALL current actions have resolved.
It actually sounds like you may be confused a bit.
Actually, if it is not there on DS after actions resolve, it does nothing because that is when it triggers. It does not have to be there when the adjacency happens, though.
You check then for DS, but the check for WB is at the hit.

As the rest is just saying how you feel the rulebook should be, I am just going to say...
Don't base your thoughts on how you feel it should work, base it on what the rules say.

Two scenarios, two powers:

Iron Man uses running shot and moves past Deathstroke to reposition and go to the other side to then make his ranged combat action targeting Deathstroke. If that was not clear, he moved through a square adjacent to Deathstroke when he repositioned (and he flies so he doesn't have to stop moving).

PRECISELY-TIMED STRIKE: Deathstroke can use Blades/Claws/Fangs. After any action resolves, if during that action an opposing character moved into a square adjacent to Deathstroke roll a d6 and deal that character damage equal to the result.

Nothing in Deathstroke's power happens UNTIL an action resolves. Once the action resolves, you look back to see what happened during that action.

Now let's say Iron Man misses his attack and resolves his Running Shot. OK, now that the action has resolved, let's look at Deathstroke. Oh, it says that if someone moved into a square adjacent to him during the last action he can do X. Iron Man moved into a square adjacent to him, so time to do X.

What if Iron Man hit Deathstroke and Deathstroke ended up taking 2 damage. Now his power is not showing. Iron Man resolves his Running Shot action, but there is nothing telling us to check for anything on Deathstroke's dial.


Worldbreaker on the other hand is on Deathstroke's team. When Iron Man used running shot, he targeted both figures.

…Everything He Sees Makes Him Angrier: Worldbreaker can use Charge and Plasticity. When Worldbreaker is hit by a ranged combat attack, after actions resolve, you may place him in a square adjacent to the attacker.

Let's say Iron Man hits Worldbreaker with that same action he hit Deathstroke. Now he had 4 damage perplexed to 5 and was using psychic blast, so Worldbreaker takes the other 2 damage not given to Deathstroke.

But WAIT. His power says when he is hit with a ranged combat attack something happens. Let's see what it says. Oh it says after the action resolves you can place him adjacent to Iron Man. OK, Worldbreaker takes his damage, however we already know we will be placing him because that effect has already started and now needs to be resolved.


In short, Deathstroke's power doesn't even come into play until after the action has resolved and you look back at what just happened. On the flip side, Worldbreaker's power activates as soon as he is hit. Whether he takes damage or not, his power is already set in motion.

I like to cuddle with my lover after my action has resolved.

Most guys are automatically hit with a token after actions resolve...

If Deathstroke is charged, and the attack misses, which action is the one that allows him to attack with BCF? I'm thinking it has to be the Power action (that presumably ends with the decision to give a close combat action as a free action) because the close-combat (free action) is not the one that moved the figure into an adjacent square...or is this the "active player's choice"?

PRECISELY-TIMED STRIKE: Deathstroke can use Blades/Claws/Fangs. After any action resolves, if during that action an opposing character moved into a square adjacent to Deathstroke roll a d6 and deal that character damage equal to the result.

Charge
Give this character a power action; halve its speed value for the action. Move this character up to its speed value and then it may be given a close combat action as a free action. A character using this power ignores knock back.

Neither. He doesn't attack with BCF.
What he does is not an attack, nor does it use BCF.

That said...
Your thinking is correct. The power action is the action during which the Charger moved adjacent.

Bear in mind that the check is actually made after every action.

So, what would happen is that when the CCA resolves Deathstroke would say "Hey, an action just resolved. Did somebody move next to me? Well, it was a CCA with no movement, so no. Darn...no eye-poke here."
Then, when the power action resolves, he does it again. "Hey, another action just resolved. Did somebody move next to me? Well, it was a power action for Charge, so yes. *Ploink*"

They should really reword the powers to 'after this characters actions resolve' or 'after another character's action resolves' because saying "After actions resolve" to me implies all actions.

That's good, because it does mean that.

Or two .

With the way you want it worded:
Robin would not get effected by his power since he was not given an action. But as it is worded, an action ends and you would then check all characters that were moved.

Sorry, I meant either/or on my wording, not all characters specifically have it one way or the other.
