Maul of America Turn 16:

Story:

Joker sees they are being surrounded on all sides. I guess there is no honor among thieves he thinks to himself as our help never came. Now we are alone and outnumbered, but I’m not going back to Arkham without a fight.
Through the hole in the wall, Joker sees Aquaman attack Catwoman Joker is amazed Catwoman is hit by Aquaman’s attack. Joker thinks to himself, perhaps I have underestimated this King of the Sea, a mistake I will not make again. Joker then targets Aquaman with his laser pistol and fires, Aquaman is hit in the chest and falls to the ground unconscious. Joker quips “Oh, I hate the smell of smell of burnt fish in the morning.” The lone ninja shakes his head, I’ve got to stop this day dreaming. Then draws his sword and heads after the ones who dismantled his team. Joker looks at Catwoman and says “I can’t believe you let that fishman hit you, I think your age is begining to show and by the way don’t cats eat fish for fun”. Catwoman becomes enraged and looks at Hawkgirl “Cats also play with birds for fun”, she yells. Catwoman leaps into a jump front kick and strikes Hawkgirl in the faces the blow lands with such force she is driven backwards into the wall smashing her wings and back against it sending bra's and panties flying everywhere. Catwoman looks around for other prey, but sees none.

That line just freaked me out! I am a supervisor of a Call Center and my staff sound just like children sometimes. "Richard said" just sounds so familiar.

By the way, my own kids don't sound like that.

Oogie's ninja - I don't see the harm. I was going to try to move oogie's team for him when he did not respond. Then I hesitated and Choon beat the CARP out of them all. Unless somebody has a problem with it, eagletsi is going to move him.

With my luck, he'll change the whole course of the game and then everybody will be mad! Oh well, live and learn.

I don't think that Hawkgirl would be knocked back. She had charge at the time of the attack and it would prevent the knockback and the 3rd click of damage.

Your right I forgot about that so she takes 1 less click.

The Characters..........

Torch
Invisible Woman
Cyclops
Psylock
Shadowcat

On to the story.......

Betsy was trying to hear more of the SHEILD conversation,

"Shoot! I'm losing the signal...........wait it's moving. I'm still getting it."

As Betsy started to move, completely fixed on the signal she failed to notice the zombie that was now moving at her with purpose.

"Ah.......Scott I don't think she's looking where she's going."

"Psylock, stay on that signal. We need to know what's happening here. Torch, you and I will provide cover......."

As Scott looked over at Sue and Kitty they were moving over towards a shop that he could see. Apparently they had found something to do. Good, he thought. Betsy can find out some of those answers and then we'll decide what role we should fill.

Johny was looking over Betsy when he saw the approaching enemy,

"Looks like we're up slim."

As he picked up Cyclops he took aim at the zombie reducing it to ash before it got anywhere close to his team-mate.

"I'm getting something........something about Mystique being paid to be here, and a hypno-suggestion for some joker. Hey it sounds like this is connected to the blue guys Logan was bragging about. SHEILD is calling them 'smurfs'. Give me a minite, I'm getting some more info..."


"Try to find out how we can stop this before it gets out."

"I'm on it."

On board the SHEILD air base.....

Fury:What is she doing?

Tia:I think that she's catching an echo of our communications, sir.

Fury:Great. Scramble frequencies on rotating codes. Stay off those coms with any intel. Tia can you add more to that echo. Make it too much to make anything out specifically.

Tia:On it, sir.

Good stuff DM.

Knockback occurs after initial damage has been taken. On Kendra's 3rd click, she does not have charge so would therefore be knocked back.

I wasn't sure at the time but before I posted I went to the rules forum and tried to find where Psylockslover had explained this.

I found this thread witch I think is still the current ruling and almost as importantly is a short thread.

It explains that knockback does occur after damage but you check for knockback when the dice are rolled, and you check for knockback damage at the time the fig hits a wall.

So in this case, since Kendra did have charge when the dice were rolled she was immune to knockback.

Ah, yes. It's hard to keep up with all these rule changes.

So Hawkgirl takes the extra click from knockback then. Hawkgirls ends up taking 3 clicks then.

Combat reflexes works when both when hit and on the click or after damage is taken if on the click.

No, I don't think that she does. Since she started with charge she is not subject to knockback. If Hawkgirl didn't have charge she would have taken two and would have then been subject to knockback witch would have resulted in the 3rd click of damage. Thank-fully she did have charge at the time.

But I'm happy with what ever ruling Richard makes.

Whatever richard rules is fine by me.

Talk about confusing with something we all think is so simple! Based on what Dm found out after talking to Psylocelover (and I bow to the great rules interpreter), I would say she has charge when checking for knockback (so she is not knocked back) but would not have it when she hit the wall. Since she never hits the wall (because she is not knocked back) she does not take the extra click.

CLEAR AS MUD, HUH?

Bottom Line: No Knockback. No extra damage.

Thanks for the research DM!

Zombie Turn and Map on the way.

No problem.

Knockback was so simple before combat reflexes were introduced.
