I think this clearly means that stealth is irrelevant to this power. The only thing that blocks line of fire would be blocking terrain because ALL TA's and powers are ignored by pulse wave.

Thus, if there are two characters in range, STEALTHED or not, the damage is 1 to each character. If there is only one character, STEALTH or not, the damage is the PW'ers DV. The attack IGNORES stealth before you determine how many characters it hits.

The point is that TKing Kang out in the middle of your opponets group and then perplexing his damage AV up from 10 sppaces away is a very good idea, making Kang better than (Sniff) Dr, Doom.

im sorry, im getting emotional.. id promised myself i wouldn't do this...
#### YOU WIZKIDS!
YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE LAST OF DOOM!

bastards

So you can't perplex the damage on a pulse wave even if you have your hookers perplexing your Blizzard's damage up out of pulse wave's range?

But what if it’s not actually Doom that Kang faces? What if it’s LE Dr. Doom, with his own Pulse Wave?

don't have that one.. anybody got it for trade?

I thought this power was simple when I first read it. Now this thread has made it more confusing.

What about probability control when characters are in range?

Heck, what about barriers/smoke clouds created by figures in range?

Smoke cloud is hindering terrain, so it is treated like any other hindering terrain. Barrier is blocking terrain. Thus it blocks LOF, and figures behind it can't be hit.

Well, except that now, if Barrier/Smoke cloud is lost, then the Barrier/Smoke cloud goes away (like outwit).

Also, does the Pulse Wave target the figure who's using it?

No, it doesn't. "...a character can never target itself with any attack or power-damaging or healing-unless a power specifically says otherwise." Pulsewave does not say so otherwise.
