Through work I have a firewall up and I cant get to Wizkids site. When is the newest guide going to be available to be seen on here?

The latest version on this site is from Oct 2008 and the latest version I could find earlier today was through Quebbsters link to the rules and that one is September 2010 guide.

imo, the important stuff:

Most everything was clarification that we already knew.

ESD does not require the character to be targeted, so ESD would still activate.

ESD is only modified against range attacks, so a ranged attack must be made. Boomerang's power is not a ranged attack, so ESD doesn't kick in.

Thanks for fixing Giant Quake!

And for fixing Larfleeze!!!!

They just clarified that it IS a ranged attack which does not target.

Boomerang's Path: Give Captain Boomerang a power
action and choose up to 6 different squares within line of fire
(ignoring characters for this purpose). Each square must be
different, adjacent to the previously chosen square, and the
first and last squares chosen must be adjacent to this
character. Make a ranged attack roll and compare the
result to each opposing character occupying a chosen
square. Each character hit this way is dealt 2 damage.This
attack does not target.

It looks like Boomerang's Path is a Power Action that grants a Ranged Combat Attack.

Is there a part of the rules that says a character making ranged attack roll isn't making a ranged attack?

All of this "make a [X] attack roll and compare to characters occupying [x] squares is [effected/damaged/etc] and this attack/action does not target" is poor rules design.

HeroClix needs to create an "Area of Effect" rule to handle effects that go too far outside the core "target a character to effect it" mechanic.

"Area of Effect" could be used to handle Quake, Pulse Wave, Boomerang's Path and others like them.

wow, I must have skimmed through that =/

Whats the change???

Tokens are no longer removed from the feat card when the character loses Leadership or Mastermind. I'm sure this was made to made it consistent with the other feat cards that have tokens placed on them.

Movement
 A character can move through a square occupied by a
friendly character, but it can’t move through a square
occupied by an opposing character.
 A character which ―cannot be moved‖ may not be given a
move action to move 0 squares as that is movement.

Wow! This means a flyer can no longer fly over an opposing character.

The Prison map just became more interesting.

Epic fail....

So the Skrull team ability can be used as the pre for camoflauge? Im soo busting out SN Super-Skrull the next chance I get.

So does this over-ride the description of the Flight ability on the PAC ("A character with this ability can move through squares adjacent to and occupied by opposing characters.")? Or is this a clarification for figs with other speed symbols?


And no, I haven't actually looked at the players guide.

Skrull Team ability = Shape Change (but only on a 6).

What does that mean for the majority of the Skrulls who have the 'real' Shape Change on their dial? Do they get to use both? If so, why aren't you allowed to use 'Alias' on characters that have 'Shape Change'?
