Just curious if anyone has sent this to the WIN for clarification yet.

The thing that keeps me hanging on to this topic is while it may seem like a straightforward burst effect, so did President Osborn’s bodyguard trait. And that was ruled so that the bodyguard loses the bonuses if they moved outside of the 4 squares from President Osborn.

Apples and oranges. President Osborn clearly has an aura effect. It was ruled to work exactly as it was written on the card.

President Osborn’s trait is not a passive effect and it has a duration, so wouldn’t it fall more in line with a burst than aura?

Anyways, I just wanted to see if there was a bit more clarification on Hope’s trait before my venue’s month 3 event since people were on the fence with how her trait fully works.

Incorrect. Go back and actually read the thread that was posted here. Sassamo was correctly explaining it from page 1. Osborn's trait is strictly a passive aura effect that grants the use of a FREE action. If the Bodyguard moves outside the radius, the effect is lost. If an effect is lost, the duration ends.

Oddly enough, that came up while I wasn't around much for a while, so I wasn't involved in the thread, but I do distinctly remember seeing it after the fact and wondering why people couldn't understand the distinction. Especially given how well it was being explained in that thread.

I actually do remember that thread now. Reading through it, everything came back to me.

Eh, just chalk this to me overthinking when I don’t need to lol.

FWIW, we have an official answer. https://win.wizkids.com/bb/viewtopic...40d211d40f5aa6

"If Hope Summer moves away from the adjacent character, can she still use the chosen character's powers?

No. When Hope Summers activates her effect, until her next turn, she can use the standard powers of the chosen character, but only if she is adjacent to that character."

Before anyone asks, no, I don't do lottery numbers.

And people said I was being cynical after an eyeroll to their first intent ruling after the new rules... now it's becoming just as commonplace as it was before. Sigh...

And here you go...

Guess you were wrong. I accept your apology for the pedantics.

Except I wasn't. They did exactly what I said they would do. If you're going to try to be a smartass, at least be right.

Wow, did you notice the smiley? Why are you so angry and aggressive at everyone all the time, seriously? Take a breath. Relax.

You are the most caustic and irritable person to everyone one who disagrees with you. What's your damage? Seriously.

I disagreed with your interpretation and you were wrong. Does that really hurt your fragile ego so much?

Chill dude. Seriously chill. And don't ever insult me or mansplain anything to me again.



If a game and it's followers cause you to burn so much maybe you should find another hobby. Have a pleasant day.

I gotta say, I thought it worked the other way, until I reread the power. No errata needed, but I understand why it confused people.

Basically no move and attacks powers for her.

Sure, she finishes the action once it starts.

Smiley or not... you went out of your way to say "you're wrong" and "i'll accept your apology ". A smiley doesn't absolve you of coming across like a jerk.
