Taking it to nbperp?

I thought they couldn't do that. (They both have that click.)

From the Player's Guide:

How often is the game ridden with redundancies and spell things out that are not necessary and how often things omitted that are? It never even occurred to me that Groot could not move if his move value was increased because there is nothing there specifically against it. The power struck me as being worded to prevent Groot from being moved via Telekinesis or the carry ability (if any piece had the ability to carry colossals)

Remember Groot's range is only 4 when he is colossal but that is a mean 4.

Quote from the PAC of Colossal Size:
"Only characters with the symbol block lines of fire to and from this character"

So Groot can shoot you through a wall and you can shoot Groot through a wall. I know it sounds silly, but in other characters when "only" is used (I'm looking at you cap!) the power really means only.

Also, this won't matter in any sealed games but colossal also ignores the skrull team ability.

Walls will still block LOF normally.

Advanced Sentinal and Sentinal were both colossal characters with points costs that let you play them. I had sent an email into norm from the heroclix rules questions email a bit ago. Like I think brave and the bold had just come out. Asking that question. His response was that as it was written there is just a valid point that a colossal character can shoot through a wall and that this would be talked about and clarified in an update in the near future. We just haven't had an update to the players guide and such since then.

Is normalview the same as nbperp? Because those are conflicting rulings.

in Joe's defense, there is in fact an implied object. since it is not spelled out, it must be inferred. So the argument is: What object is inferred?

Not taking sides, don't care which way the ruling on this goes, just thought a clarification might be useful since this point seems to have been dismissed by most it seems, on the basis of not making any sense when in fact it does.

(Speaking of not making sense, I apologize for the horrific sentence structure in that second paragraph.)

They are different people. But normalview's post on the forums carries more weight than an e-mail. (E-mails are not recognized rulings.) nbperp can, of course, post on the forums and he hasn't indicated that normalview's answer is incorrect nor has any one else in the rules posse. Unless something else is said on the forums or added to the Player's Guide, normalview's post will be the controlling authority on this. (Any judge can rule differently, of course, but normalview's post is official until one of the things I mentioned happens.)

No it doesn't. Some colossal figures may have special rules that allow them to ignore the Skrull TA or any number of powers and TAs, but that isn't the standard.

That's what Groot gets. Nothing else. No capture ability, no ignoring powers or TAs, just collosal size and all that goes with it.

yourbudrob is correct. It is standard.

From the Player's Guide:

I just looked in the latest player's guide and could not find it. What section is the quote from?

Section 1. Page 1-1 in the Golden Age version.

You are getting rep for making me feel STUPID.

So is there any say on if you can just give power actions at random to do nothing since it has been ruled through:
Parasite
...
Parasite can not be given a power action to activate Defense Drain.
AND
Super-Adaptoid
See Justice League #017 Parasite for clarifications on ―Attack Drain and ―Defense Drain.

That you can not?

Then it still brings up if you can't legally move can you be given a move action, since being given a move action means you are being moved even if it is for 0.

Not my intention, of course.

I suppose that was reversed.

Come to think of it, this may have even come up in a recent dep discussion.
