Something happened in a game a couple weeks back, and I wanted to see what the powers that be and the players in general thought. Specifically, my Highfather had his Pact broken by a Pulse Wave attack from my opponent's highest point character. I know that Pulse Wave ignores everything for the most part, but should not the Pact prevent him from taking that action to use Pulse Wave? Would there be a difference if other figures would be in the area of effect or not? I can see it both ways, and was curious what the group at large thinks.

THE PACT: At the beginning of the game, you may announce a pact. If you do, the highest point character on your force and the highest point character on your opponent's force (300 points or less) can't target opposing characters with an attack until one of them has taken damage from an attack or they are the only 2 characters on the map. This ability can't be ignored.

Pulse wave would not ignore an ability that cannot be ignored.

The opposing figure couldn't have made the Pulse Wave action, because the Pact prevents it.
