I'm not upset (and no apology needed.) I was trying to dialogue with you to explain why I think Susan Richards will not be affected by Pulse Wave when she is 7 or more squares from the Pulse Waver. (Using your name before was part of the dialogue attempt which can be somewhat difficult to do in a public forum.)

And that's why I don't think she can be hit by a Pulse Wave when she is 7 or more squares from Dr. Manhattan. Her power isn't blocking LOF; rather LOF simply cannot be drawn to her. If LOF can't be drawn to her, then the rest of Pulse Wave never affects her. Her powers aren't ignored (that requires that a LOF be drawn to her) and she can't be hit by the Pulse Wave (because that too requires that a LOF be drawn to her).

its okay. i understand that i think. but i'm still interested in what you have to say. so please continue.

that all sounds good until this.. these lines of fire are only blocked by walls, blocking and elevated terrain.
the rules have always been other SP. when game mechanics are in question.

so if none if these three are there. then your LOF isn't blocked.

And like I said earlier, the LOF isn't being blocked. The LOF simply cannot be drawn. There is a difference between the two.

Let me ask from this direction, do you agree that a LOF is necessary to ignore powers and to hit Susan Richards?

ok i'm sorry let me reword this then. if those three are not there then LOF is clear. as i understand the rules.

She does not BLOCK line of fire, so the part of pulse wave that talks about "Only blocked by" simply do not matter. Lines to her outside of 7 squares simply can't be made. There is nothing in PW (Or anything else as far as I know) that addresses this, and so it affects everything. If you cannot draw a line on a piece of paper, even if your line drawing abilities cannot be blocked, how would you conect dots a and b? The line can't be made.

I understand what you are saying, but I want to come back to it.

Do we agree that a LOF is necessary for Pulse Wave to ignore powers and for Pulse Wave to hit Susan Richards? i.e., if there is no LOF then her powers would not be ignored and Susan Richards cannot be hit by the Pulse Wave.

i could be wrong here. i think i'm right but i understand what you both are saying. so i quess we'll have to wait on mr. orange.

It's no different than a PW against one Stealthed figure. If ignoring the power would open up LoF, then LoF can be drawn.

So you disagree with nbperp's description of why PW ignores Stealth?

Refresh my memory on that one, please.

He goes through a long explanation breaking Pulse Wave down into steps. You can find one example here and another example here. If it was as easy as...ignore all powers...he's putting way too much work into his answers.

Ok, as I understand it, his explanation is basically what I said.
