so basically his power has gone from

ummm i might use him

It hasn't gone anywhere at all.

It started as being the same as EE.

It still is the same as EE.

It will (probably) become what was stated earlier (which is better than EE).


Anything else was falsely derived from a mistaken intepretation.

So what does the "number of times hit" mean.

Is it like this:

Four Lian Harpers are adjacent to Moloid. M is Moloid X is Lian

XX
M
XX

All figures are hit. Does Moloid get 4 damage? And all Lians get 2?

Assuming there is a figure with EE:

Moloid would get 5, Lians get 3.

The number of times hit is the same thing that you do now for EE.

Take that and double it.

In which case, Moloid would be hit for 10, Lians for 5 each.

If the figure using Energy Explosion had four arrows, and was targeting all the Lian Harpers, then yes, the Moloid would take 4 damage from four splashes. If it's just a one target EE, targeting the Moloid, and it hits everybody, then the Moloid and all the Lian Harpers would take one.

How do you figure?

Johnny targets M with his EE.

Assuming that he rolls high enough to hit everyone...
M is hit 1 time.
Each X is hit 1 time.

With normal EE, each of them is dealt 1 damage.

With Johnny's EE, each is dealt 2 damage.

Oh, I know EE quite well. You must've missed this post of mine.

I guess by the line "all were hit" I had assumed hit individually (as in having 5 bolts, on elevated and has LoF to everyone), not by a single target.

In your case, you're right...so was I

Not to be a dick, but I'm failing to see how a joke answer (which wasn't clearly indicated to be a joke) would help out the already confused asker.

Joke answer?

I merely went off "All figures are hit." I probably took it too literal and assumed they were hit by a figure w/ 5 bolts.

But you're right, stick to the context of "Johnny Storm". Don't mind me.

the main thing about it is and it MAY have been a wrong interp., but anyone with eyes in his head can see what was meant.

For one of those clix he does 3 damage. So by going back and changing it rather than being able to do that which would make him excellent for the figure, plus the supersense(lite) toughness he would get off the rest of his team (via their traits) it would have been a great figure, not too strong due to only one and only one clix of 3 damage. It would have made him a balance character because of the one clix but dangerous for a change. It would have been nice to have a EE'er that could crack invuln or imperv.

and you can call me wrong till the cows come home, but (and no disrespect meant) i feel that errataing it down to x2 damage dealt instead of just saying the printed value = the amount dealt by the EE, kinda takes the joy out of the character.

The errata hasn't been published yet. Perhaps it might end up being "damage dealt is equal to the number of times hit times the unmodified damage value."

I think that would best represent (what we assume to be) the intention of the designer. As it is, the designer of that figure doesn't even work for WK anymore, so when the "intention" comes down from the current game designer, we get what we get.

OH NICE!!

his 3 dmg click he has pulse wave and not the special power Pour it on.
