If you give an action and "attempt to move", even a move of 0, you must roll breakaway under the usual circumstances, and if breakaway fails, "the action is over". However, Beast Boy's Morph power switcheroo happens "after the action resolves", so the action being over is besides the point. He can switch just fine.

Except that the post by WizKids explicitly says you can move him and then change.

Also, I'm assuming that if you are one of the single-based figures (BB, cheetah, bear) and want to morph into the double-based T-Rex, that if you don't have the 2 squares free to place the T-Rex, you can't do it.

Example (B=Beast Boy, O=opposing figure):

OOO
OBO
OOO

Since there aren't 2 squares to place the T-Rex into, it's an illegial morph, correct?

My question: How do you determine where the other part of the cheetah or T-Rex goes?

I assume this is correct as the flavor text mentions that Beast Boy (in the comics) can't change if there is not enough room to change.

Yeah, that's what Saturnflight is saying, you can do that.

Things that will cause pushing damage with BB:

Normal move action (no morph)
Ranged combat action
Close Combat action
Power action

Things that won't:

A Move action where BB morphs into another figure.


Theoritically, if BB was based with 1 token and he needed to breakaway, but wanted to stay as the T-Rex for example- he would roll (assume success), breakaway, move, then resolve the action and take pushing damage.

If, however he wanted to morph, when the action is resolved, you swap the figure and no push damage is given.

I'm pretty sure SaturnFlight was saying that to activate Morph, you had to do a Move Action, but instead of moving you Morphed and took no pushing damage...

I will also say it is powers/wording like this that really enhance that egg on Wizkids face sometimes.

I know there are a lot of powers/figures in a set, but you really can't hammer #### like this out before releasing it to the public? Really?

Here is one better

I'm based by one of your clix. I'm using the Dino which is a peanut shaped base. I move 0, and "Morph" into any of the other clix, all of which are standard bases. Which of the two squares do I move into? If one of the two is not adjacent to the character who had based me do I have to appear next to him or do I automatically break away and appear 1 square away?

For placing of the double-based figures - one of the sections would have to be in the square the single figure occupied - the other half would have to be placed in a legal square of the placing player's choosing. That one is pretty obvious too.

For the most part, I would say that you get to choose. If you are a T-Rex and fail to break away, I would say that you must morph adjacent, but I can see this as being ruled that you can still choose whichever square.

If it is ruled for some odd reason that you can't morph after a failed breakaway, the point it moot (unless you ran up with the T-Rex and then swapped out for cheetah for the Senses, then I could see it going either way).

Wouldn't you still have to roll breakaway, gaining 1 to your roll with Giant Stride?
There's an errata already needed here, as I don't agree with morphing on a failed breakaway.

Then again, BB's got at least L/C, Plasticity, Giant Stride, or HSS on any of his forms at some point in the dials.

I don't think you quite understood what Saturn was saying. He was saying that other powers that required a move action would not be able to be activated if you plan to use the Morph trait. I.E. He would not use L/C AND Morph in the same action because both require a move action and only one of them can be activated.

In any case, I'm gonna throw my voice in with those who think that the (Morph) action itself will never deal push damage. I'm not basing this off any speculation of what the power could have been written as if it means something else, but rather because that is the interpretation that I came to when I read the power. I can see both sides of the debate, but I just feel like the piece would be balanced better if it could take an action any time (it is eligible to receive one) and moprh.

Guys, we're making this a lot harder than it has to be


Give Beat Boy a move action following all standard rules. He does not take pushing damage from this action.
After it resolves (regardless of whether or not it would have dealt pushing, regardless of whether he broke away or whether actually went anywhere) You switch him

From my interpretation of this

It doesn't matter if breakaway was successful. The action is over / resolved and now you replace him with X figure.
