a very cheap add-on for some great strategic maneuvering.

Wow, this is awesome! I don't know how many times I've had 3-4 points left for a team with nothing to do.

What are you talking about? It's not confusing at all...

Choose a character....say spider-man

After the character resolves a close combat action...after spider-man finishes a close combat action

it may be placed in any square which it may legally be placed adjacent to a target...you may move Spider-man into a square next to one of the targets you made the attack against(Flurry would give you two targets) as long as that space is a legal spac to land in

as the same elevation as the target...and you have to stay on the same elevation as the target you are attacking


The reason it says a target and then THE target is because the second reference is referring to the first...the first is saying A target, one of the targets of your attack...later in the sentence it says THE target because it is referring to the SINGLE target you picked from earlier in the sentence....So you pick A target and then that target becomes THE target...

With the action thing you are really just picking hairs to the max....It is OBVIOUS it means the Close Combat action. Why? well two reasons

1- The move granted to you by the card isn't an action. It never states any sort of action involved in the actual move.

2 - The phrase at the beginning of the sentence makes it clear it is referring to the CC action

3 - In game terms, the person using the card isn't a target in any way shape or form so it couldn't be them.


I think it is written quite fine....

Here’s a scenario for you:

Suppose you have this on U Collassal Boy. He has Leap/Climb on the first two clicks, so he qualifies. Could he attack someone from two squares away from the target, then move anywhere else two squares away from the target?

I may have to do this combo just to have a flipping Giant. :D

and ultimate cap just keeps getting more usefull !!!!!

I'm with you, Miralco. I was an English major and I've read Joyce's Ulysses straight through AND ENJOYED IT and i still find this card confusingly, amusingly worded. If I understand it correctly--and I think that there is an excellent chance that none of us are reading it the way it was intended--its an OK Feat but nothing gamebreaking.

Dude, COOL!

Hrmm.
I dunno about the Giant thing.
Man, this game is complicated.

I still haven't managed to try using the 'special objects'. Too much to remember during a game. Whew!

That said, This card makes Combat Reflexes even MORE useful for only 3 points.
I think Veteran Wildchild is gonna be a team staple of mine until everybody's sick of him around here.

Oh my, will combat reflexes actually be usefull now?

I'm looking forward to trying it wiht Spider-Man 2099.

Jump in to a small group and BCF

Thanks!

I'm glad your CCA doesn't need to hit to use this.

I agree as well. My confusion over the card centered around what "resolving" meant so I didn't understand who could vault, attacker or defender. Why couldn't they just say "Attacker can Vault when etc..."

I have constant issues interpeting the rules, cards and the language they're supposed to be written in...and believe it or not I teach a course of English Composition at a local community college...of course it is a community college!

quick question... or two.

#1 say i assign vault to a hulk, after completeing a close combat action, can he pick up an object while moving to his new square?

#2 if the answer to #1 is no, what if that hulk also has 'rip it up' assigned to him?

Well, it won't work with Pounce (power action that gives a cc attack), but it will work with Charge (and therefore all those powers that work with Charge...EW, BCF, Quake).

Great idea using L/C's cc action option to change elevation after the attack!
