But if I have poison and am playing against Larfleeze, and I'm adjacent to an Orange Construct Token which means I'm considered adjacent to Larfleeze for Poison and Close Combat Purposes, why couldn't I poison Larfleeze before attacking him via close combat?


EDIT: Ah, saw you grokked the question. Interesting.

Absolutely.
"Within range and line of fire" is a standard game term - it in no way implies a range value greater than 0.

Great fig! I have a question:

1) "Characters adjacent to or in the same square as an Orange Construct object are considered adjacent to Larfleeze for Poison and close combat purposes." Does this mean that opposing characters can poison or attack one of the orange constructs and do damage to Larfleeze?

Or was this intended just for Larfleeze to make attacks and poison through the constructs?

I would think "line of fire" is a standard game term. But if he only has a range of 0, then he can only place Orange Constructs in the square that he is occupying at the time. It just seems unlikely that it would be restricted to only placing them in the square he is occupying. Even considering his defensive special which allows him to mastermind (limited to 3 damage) to adjacent constructs. Well a figure is not adjacent to the square they are occupying, only to those around them. and when you consider that you have to move Larfleeze before you can move a construct, you may never get to hand off the damage.

Also knowing the character and that he can "shoot", he should have a range value of some kind.

So you poison Larfleeze and he transfers the damage to a construct, killing it. Not that big of a deal. Note how the power is worded you couldn't make Larfleeze take more more than one poison damage a turn even if you were next to two constructs.

Awesome dial, I'm excited to try him out.

But what's to stop someone from making a close-combat attack against Larfleeze by being on or adjacent to a construct (since Larfleeze would be considered adjacent for close-combat purposes)?

It just doesn't seem like they'd mean for something like a Vet Icons Superman holding a HO to deal 7 damage by making a close-combat attack against Larfleeze because Superman's adjacent to little Glomulus.

I'm wondering if it could mean that Characters are considered adjacent to Larfleeze for poison and close combat, but if does not say that Larfleeze is consdered adjacent to the Character. So when Larfleeze goes to use one of those abilities (poison or close combat) the characters are considered adjacent to them. But if they try to use them on their turn, nothing says larfleeze is adjaceent to them for those purposes.

So if you perplex his range (for whatever reason), say to 2 ,you can place an orange construct up to that range right?

Also, the adjacency for close combat is only for attacks themselves not for breaking away correct?

And the part of the Trait where Larfleeze moves and all the orange objects on the map can move the same number of spaces he did though they don't have to begin or end adjacent to him?

Awwwwwwwwwwwwww Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Fun dial, sad to see that he makes the BN Luthor even worse of a figure. Still, no move and attack or reducers at that level make him a very shiny target. And don't tell me he's got permanent Mastermind, one good shot after Outwit will strip him bare.

We'll need to get back to you on that.
Fairly sure that was the intent.
Correct.
Right.
Right.
Right.

Wait!? What are all of you doing here? It's MINE! Get out! MINE! MINE!
Absolutely love that they posted this today!!!

No Range????
That kinda sucks for the Damage Power. I guess it would be nice to have some range... Heck Neckron has atleast a 2 range. It is a construct RING!!!
Hof Out

It works both ways.
