Scenario:

For the X Brood (Not the Queen):

Any character that can't use or doesn't possess Blades/Claws/Fangs can be given a power action to use Blades/Claws/Fangs as a free action, but the maximum result of the roll to replace its damage value with this effect is 4. If damage dealt to or taken by a character is not otherwise reduced, roll a d6 when the character takes damage. When attacking a member of the X-Men, consider that opposing figure to have the Skrull TA.

BFC: Rally

Whenever the character with the highest point value remaining on your force is eliminated, remove one action token from all characters on your force, as applicable, and then remove the eliminated character from the game.

Don't worry- after the annual you'll get plenty of small games.

Brood, Turn 1a:

Leadership- Brood Queen: 3, Havok: 1 - 5 actions

1) Brood Queen picks up Jean and moves to Q13, placing Jean in R13.

2) R Multiple Man moves to P11.

3) Banshee flies to S8.

4) Celeste (Cuckoo #1) picks up her two other Cuckoos and moves to U12, placing Esme at T12 and Sophie at U11. She'll increase her defense by 2 with Hive Mind.

5) Psylocke moves to S17.

Free Perplexes) Psylocke increases her own def by 1, Meggan and Tessa will increase Jean's def by 2.

I still don't understand what you mean by this bolded part.

That was supposed to be edited out with the rest . It's was inspired by the 'Warriors' slot of the Planet Hulk Event dial.

Goodo. I edited it out of the last turn now, so it should stay gone.

Rookie batman turn next ??? I think.

Actually, I'm not quite clear on the next part. Does it mean that when the X-Brood is attacking a member of the X-Men, or does it mean "when attacking a member of the Brood team that's in the X-Men?"

Oh, and while I'm at it, can Beast use Vault when he has "Bouncing Beast," or is that only when it's actually Leap/Climb?

And...Beast can't use L/C and Charge at the same time, can he?

I guess I'd better wait until those are answered to take my turn. Sorry for all the last-minute stuff, but I guess questions just sorta pop up when you really start studying the map.

The X-Brood and the X-Men only suffer the penalty when attacking another member of the X-Brood or X-Men. No penalties for attacking the queen, and the figures mentioned do not suffer a penalty.

Beast can use Vault with charge, yes. (Think about it, how many times do you make an attack -using- Leap/Climb? )

And no, Beast can't ignore hindering terrain on his charge.

Yeah, if a Special Power says that you 'can use' a standard power such as Leap/Climb, then that fulfills the prerequisites for any feats that require that power.

So, basically, everyone has the Skrull TA except the queen?

AXM, Turn 1b:

1) Nightcrawler to L-6, carries Beast to L-5, and takes a click for Passenger.

No...basically whenever someone with the X-men TA attacks someone else with the X-men TA, you roll for Shape Change. This is to represent my broodified X-men resisting their transformation, and also the reluctance of your's and choon's X-men to attack their former comrades.

However it doesn't kick in if one of them (either the attacker or the defender) doesn't have the X-men TA. So you can attack Psylocke, Banshee or Tessa without needing to roll for Shape Change, since they don't have the X-men TA. Likewise whenever I use those characters to attack, or whenever I attack Quicksilver, Dazzler or Domino I don't need to roll for Shape Change.

Also note that Shape Change was upgraded a while ago to working on a 5 or a 6, rather than just a 6 like the Skrull TA.
