Pulse Wave ignores all powers etc unless they specifically say they cannot be ignored. There's always an exception.

It still hurts when you don't have defense reducers on your melee tie-up pieces.

Also, at the start of your turn, before you use your poison, you can use outwit on a character that has it to counter a defensive power, THEN use poison, so they take the 1 damage. But only if you remember to do it at the start of your turn!

thats a great point! Awesome guys. I really appreciate all the help. Now if i can just wrap my head around Energy Explosion.

So i roll once to attack A, and they are set up like
AB
C

Assuming my roll is high enough to hit all everyone... so, it HITS A, which means B and C take splash damage, since they are hit, do they make it so the other two adjacent take hits too? So total 3 damage per character? Im pretty sure im very wrong >.>

No. B & C were only splashed not hit as a target. Everyone is dealt only 1 damage. But with multiple arrows things become more fun.

I see, so with multiple targets, thats when it gets confusing.

Right. If you have opponents set up like this:

ABCDE
*FGH*

Then, if you have three arrows and target B, C, and D with Energy Explosion and roll high enough to hit everyone, then:

A takes 1 point of splash damage since B was hit.

B and D each take 1 point of damage for being hit directly and 1 point of splash damage since C was hit, for a total of 2 damage each.

C takes 1 point of damage for being hit directly and 2 points of splash damage (1 since B was hit and 1 since D was hit), for a total of 3 points.

E takes 1 point of damage since D was hit.

F and H take 2 points of splash damage, while G takes 3.
