Does it really need to be anywhere? I mean, sure, it would be wonderful if the keyword list got updated to make it technically accurate, but is there seriously a judge out there anywhere that's going to rule that skrull and skrulls are different keywords and break theme? Because if so, then this game has just crossed the line into unforgivably absurd....

EDIT: Now, if it gave WK an excuse to go back and fix some of the other glaring omissions from the keyword list while they were there, then, yeah, sure. (I'm looking at you, E Sasquatch.)

You're correct, why do I always remember PC as a Free Action? Thanks for clearing that up.

Agreed! This one will need to be reversed.

I answer this question with a question... Is there a player out there that, if they lost to a team of Skrull/Skrulls that was ruled a theme team by a judge, complain?

The answer is undoubtedly yes. The theme rules are clear. The keyword must be the same. Skrull and Skrulls are not the same. We have no flexibility in most restricted events.
What we can do is make sure that we point this sort of thing out to the RA and hope that we will get more quick responses like this.

I just wish that there would have been something about the LE Johnny Storm's Pour It On! special power... It doesn't do anything as it is written. Maybe they don't want to re-spoil it, though, so they might have another set of new documents standing by and ready for launch on the 9th.

The difference is who has a character card. Several (at least 3) character cards with Skrulls are coming in the next set. Only 2 needed errata to correct their card. Those without character cards don't need errata, you can just change the keyword list doc. We've always been at war with Eastasia.

Actually, this has been the ruling for a long time. It was never, however, documented.

Basically, though no roll is compared, the damage is still part of the attack. As such, the character receiving the FT damage is being attacked.

This actually comes from a situation which occured in a match at WWE. I was the judge asked to rule. I made the call matching the one you see in the FAQ. I called Norm over for confirmation, though. He confirmed. We looked in the documentation later. Finding nothing, Norm made a note to check the forums where he found the old ruling. Apparently, he felt that it was worthy of documentation.

The SPs have enabled some crazy things. There actually is already one case where recursion could occur. This entry prevents that one and other future possibilities.

FWIW, the possible one is Defense Drain with Regen.

1) Give Power Action to activate something.
2) When that power action is given, activate Defense Drain.
3) Use Defense Drain to copy Regeneration.
4) Use the free power action to use Regeneration.
5) When that power action is given, activate Defense Drain again.
6) Use Defense Drain to copy Regeneration.
7) Use the free power action to use Regeneration.
8) When that power action is given, activate Defense Drain again.

Etc.


EDIT: Oh and MCing an MCer to use the MC should not be considered the "same" action as it is a different character with different targets and stuff.

EDIT 2: Oh yeah, and feel free to blame me for that recursion one if you don't like it. I have no idea if Norm had planned on putting that in there until I pulled that (by my own admission) "never actually gonna happen" situation outta my butt just to make his brain hurt at WWE, but I suspect that I may have set the ball rolling on that one. ops: mea culpa

Not really, because the error didn't break the game. It just means that a player has to be a bit choosier when building a team with the new (correct) point values (which are only a ten point difference).

I think there'd be more room for complaint had the error been more than ten points each.

Now the only Alpha issue which requires resolution is the question of whether Mind Blast and Exploit ignore/negate Mastermind.

(The "missing" powers don't require resolution {we've already come up with adequate houseruled substitutions}, but it would absolutely be cool if WK would provide official ones which don't break the game)

Yeah, I thought about that right after I posted, so I edited my post to something else entirely as soon as I got that one up.

I still think that a blanket errata that Skrull and Skrulls were considered the same keyword for all purposes might have been easier, though.

Really just some language clarifying. Is there any Colossal figures with support?

Not at present, no. But with Event dials there are some possibility of gaining extra powers, so it needs to be clarified nonetheless.

Multiattack
• Colossal characters using the multiattack ability must make an attack during each of the free actions granted by multiattack: (may not use the following powers and abilities during a multiattack: Phasing/Teleport, Regeneration, and Support). Feats may not be used when using actions granted by Multiattack

now anit-m is broken

Makes Unnecessary.

I love this, even though Wizkids released an errata, which INTENT was to clarify that Skrull and Skrulls were the same thing, they did not write that as such (very weak on their part). Then judges feel their "hands are still tied" because a "big picture" game designer is not as thorough as a "rules lawyer bureaucrat."

Wizkids needs to hire Surfer so they can get it right. And others like Surfer will have not have to turn a team's theme off because a 14 yr old kid thought he built the best Skrull team ever; only to be cited as non-thematic by the judge-on-high. Maybe that's why we don't have a bunch of 14 yr old kids playing anymore.

While I think it is stupid that they limited the use of quake for collosal's multi-attack, I do have to admit this will help a lot against Anti-Monitor.

How do you figure that Quake has been limited? It hasn't.
