Your illustration is correct and is similar for Warbound. Nigma (I think) does not have Willpower, but with Warbound, if your "Nigma" like character does have WIllpower, you get to even have them act every other turn:

1 - Main character acts, takes a token
2 - Main character acts, passes token to Willpower character. Willpower character acts, taking a second token but not pushing. MAin character clears.
3 - Main character acts, takes a token. Willpower character clears.
4 - Return to step 2, rinse and repeat.

Rule of 3 has nothing to do with this. The rule of three ONLY applies to: Speed, Attack, Defense, Damage, and Range. It does not even apply to "Damage Dealt" - only to combat values.

Now, once upon a time, there used to be a rule in the rulebook that a character was not allowed to act on three consecutive turns. That made certain feats (don't remember the exact one at the time) pretty carpy and required an exception for the new Masters of Evil team ability. However, the designers felt that the line was originally put there from before the existence of mechanics that might allow the three-turn-in-a-row possibility from existing (all of which were supposedly designed with the necessary drawbacks to balance them) and so the rule was removed. I know for sure it's not in the FF rulebook. I am pretty sure it was either out of the Legion rulebook or it was errata'd out of the LOSH rulebook midway thru that year.

Nigma can also take a token even if he currently has a token - unlike warbound. Warbound only allows you to warbound to figure that has zero action tokens. This is the most broken piece in the game, by far.

Thanks for the clearification everyone.

He's pretty crazy. I still want to try him out for myself, but I'll keep it theme and use Hush plus some other BE members.

I wasn't saying you pass the token from the first action to Nigma... I just worded my answer badly... *sob*

There, there now. All is forgiven.

If that is how it works, then that figure is messed up. I wanted the figure to begin with, now I must have it. :P

From the FF rulebook Pg. 7:

"Once you have resolved all of your actions for your turn and placed
the appropriate action tokens, remove action tokens from characters on
your force that did not receive action tokens that turn. Then it is the next
player’s turn."

In this example, Magus did receive a token, but it was moved before the turn was ended. What is important then, why actually receives the token or who it ends up on at the end of the turn?

I guess the game just checks to see if a character has a token that wasn't there last turn. If it does, the character doesn't clear. If it doesn't, the character clears.

I guess there isn't a way to get an official ruling at the moment?

it is also less broken due to
1: the power can be outwitted
2: the figure they are taking the token to has to be adjacent at the end of the action. So if u RS/Charge/HSS you would need to carry them or move him out to where they are going to be. so basically you are stuck to that one square if u are not wanting to push.
3: You can only play one of Nigma

he is far from broken.

My Nigma has no Unique ring... he can be played in multiples, and I expect he would were there ever another world championship...

my bad but still u are having to pay 60 points for a power that last for 3 click w/out willpower that can be outwitted.
But for this he is more versatile on what teams he can go on in regards to warbound.

I could be wrong on this, and it might even be an older rule back when LE's had rings around them similar to uniques... but I believe that all LE's are considered to be Uniques. Of course, LE's are labeled differently now, they no longer have the gold ring. I would say if it's a gold ring LE, it counts as a unique... but since it simply has a gold tab, then it wouldn't... but that may have been what *Maraud* was thinking before.

I would agree that he is definitely overpowered though, for his points. Probably not the worst thing to ever hit clix, but he is up there.

Without a silver/gold/bronze ring, a figure is not unique.

Or if the figure hasn't been errata'd as an Unique.

no this always has been the case if it does not have a ring its not a unique and u can play more than 1 of them.

You are saying that just b/c it has a gold tab that only one should be played. What about all the SR's that u get that don't have the rings? compared to the ones that do?

The Iron Man in Secret Invasion has been errata'd as an Unique..

Yes the one that was for i think new guy knight. it had a ring. they just put the wrong color or what ever on it. The one that u got in the set is not.
