I know this topic came up before with Groot but I can't find the thread on it and I don't remember the answer.

Can a character with a printed speed of 0 be given a move action?

I would say yes as there's nothing stopping you from moving 0 squares.

Yes. Why wouldn't that be allowed? I give move actions of 0 squares quite often.

Groot is a slightly different animal though, since his power says he "can't be moved."

I have Groot. He is ham-stringed by his inability to move. Last time I saw this it was ruled that he can not move.

My logic says no, but I've been wrong on clix a lot. No because, simply, if you moved 0, you didn't move = no action.

2013 Rulebook, Page 9:

You talking about the Groot that gets 0 movement w/ this special power:
I think that can't be moved part may override a movement of 0...

I believe you can't, but not because he has 0 Movement, but because on those clicks he also has a power that says that he "can't be moved". Otherwise you'd be OK just giving him a 0 Move move action.

Ah, thank you, I didn't have access to my PG and forgot his special power had that added clause preventing it. So that is why he was different. But nothing prevents characters with a printed 0 speed from taking a move action. Good to know.

And there goes logic right out the window.

But really, logically, if you move 0 then you didn't move. Then can we change the wording then to just state that he turned around and looked behind him?

Mr. Pennyworth of the Batcave will be delighted to hear this, as I thought he couldn't be given a move action to push his way down to the "Come Alfred, I need you!" power.

Remember, you can't logically apply real word physics to a game based on super humans and supernatural powers.

The maps in this game are not to scale. One square on a map can be very large in respect to the fig occupying it. A fig with charge and super strength, and adjacent to an opposing fig and an object could succeed at break a way, run over to the object, pick it up, run back to the opposing fig, and attack the fig with the object. all with out leaving the square it started in. thus, a fig can move zero squares.
