LAYERS OF EXTRA FAT: When Big Bertha is dealt damage, roll a d6. On a result of 1-4, she ignores all but 1 of the damage dealt. On a result of 5-6, she ignores all of the damage dealt.


This is Big Bertha's power. If she picks up the Crimson Gem of Cyttorak, she also gets Toughness.

If she rolls a 1-4 and ignores all but 1 damage, does the Toughness kick in at that point and reduce that 1 to 0? One ignores and the other reduces.

sounds reasonable.........

You get one or the other. Only one damage reducer or ignorer per customer.

This is correct.

Thing is, Bertha's Trait isn't a reducer.

It's worded the same as Blob's power: LAYERS OF EXTRA FAT: Blob ignores all but 1 damage dealt to him.

And that was ruled as being the same as a reducer. She can either use toughness, or her SP, not both.

While not the same exactly, it's close enough that I thought I would post here.

EXTREME ABSORPTION: When Greithoth hits a character that can use Impervious, Invincible, or Invulnerability, Greithoth may choose to use that power this game.

He starts with Invulnerability but can get imperv/invul/invincible. I had to explain to someone he can't use both Imperv and Invul.

Yeah, the only one reducer errata as been updated to include only both reduction and ignore effects.

Players Guide Page 3:

It very plainly uses the word "ignore". It ignores damage, so it can't be combined with other powers that reduce or ignore damage.

It seems the phrase "reducer" is commonly tossed around, and with all of these new ignoring powers, I feel we need to add "ignorer" to our lexicon to mitigate confusion. I will be using this word more often now.

Page 10 of the current rulebook:

"If multiple game effects would allow a character to reduce or ignore damage dealt, only one game effect can activate, to be decided by the character’s controlling player."

If you are going to go and quote the rules, it isn't making the game fair to those who want to interpret the rules willy-nilly
