No minimum of 3 characters needed for non-generic keywords.

Thanks for the back-up; that was one of the changes I believed had come down when they came up with the generic/non-generic keyword distinctions.

I went to open the rulebook and ran into yet another example of how I dislike Adobe Acrobat's use when I'm online. It's a 50:50 shot that everything ends up locking up and I have to re-start... which is what happened this time.

I thought that was just me!

Ah, from the Defenders keyword. Like I said, I couldn't see them (nor the costs) from work. Thanks for the backup!

The benefit would be the BFC cancel and map choice (outside of the Marquee events that seem to take away map choice).

The theme prob could be useful, but you are going to almost have to throw the token on Namor. Between Perplex and Outwit its almost going to be impossible to have Strange free to take the token as odds are you will have used either of his free actions before the dice roll.

Eh? Am I misunderstanding what you mean here? I'm sure you can take as many free actions as you want each turn. (Though most powers will state that you can only use that power once a turn.)

You can, but Tyroclix meant that, if Strange uses a free action (such as Perplex or Outwit), he won't be able to use the theme PC afterwards (since a character that has taken an action - free or not - can't use theme PC in the same turn).

(and, for the record, PC isn't an action, not even a free one)

I really should have realised that was what he meant.

I'm evidently far to excited about the Doctor Who finale tonight to bother thinking about anything else...

We didn't get a new one this week because of the July 4th holiday, so our most recent one was Forest of the Dead. We'll be back on track on the 11th.

Ha! See what your independence got you?!? No new Doctor Who, thats what!!!

(I'll keep my lips zipped. Apart from behind spoiler tags in the TV discusion section...)

I blame the Sci-Fi Channel more than the holiday; they do this on any holiday weekend, opting to run a marathon (in this case it was Twilight Zone) and then go into running made-for-video movies back to back. Apparently the idea of showing anything new on a holiday weekend is considered a bad thing by them.

These seasons go so quickly, though; I'd lost sight of this one coming to a close so soon!
