Well, I'm not sure how it works with going back during playoffs, but the first use of Pulse Wave was when you crit Bizarro and Yondu.

Asked GQ how he wants to handle it.

Well, I found a thread that has the RA saying that Nova Blast is optional. But it's from 2005.

I'll rule that (tentatively*) beginning with the next round of the playoffs, Nova Blast will be ruled as non-optional. There was no major announcement about the change in feat rules (ala, the Watch List), so it's not something most of us would have noticed. Also, I did a search of "Nova Blast" this season, and it's been used incorrectly in many of the games that came up. So if I make a change for how it would be used, I'd want everyone to be at the same starting line for it. Other teams in the playoffs carry Nova Blast.

Note that omissions in language in the updated rulebooks may not necessarily reflect a change by WK. The BFC cancel perk for themed teams wasn't in the latest rulebook, but supposedly that was an overnight, not the actual removal of the bonus.

*I'll give a shot at e-mailing the rules team about how to treat Nova Blast and feats in general to see if I get a reply.

The change would have happened a few years ago. I've found a couple threads where posters mention the non-optionality of feats. But nothing Orange.

The only times it would usually come up in games, are instances of single target Pulse Waves. It's not often that you'd build for Nova Blast and not use it if you get a decent chunk of figures in range.

Also, IMO, I really like that concept of non-optional Nova Blast. Kinda makes it more in line with the design of the final click high damage Pulse Wave figures it was made for.

turn updated and done, your go.

Good game I am done iPhone didnt miss an attack roll the whole game and I missed 2 out of three of my only needing a 4 then a 6 story of my life just like today in a Wol tournament pulled three blue lantern core people need a 6 had two PC in range missed missed then crit miss

Ah that sucks. I think the SBL and HCFL games are sucking up the bad rolls.

Thanks for the great game bt!

Ty and good luck in the rest of the rounds really solid team and every one has bad rolls somewhere I guess. Sorry about the not post dials thing in start of the game I was a little cranky

Don't worry about it. Sorry about my responses as well. I was probably in a bad mood too.
