Found it!!!!!

Thank you very much, although I still believe the activation of IM needs to be reworded, it's obvious by their walkthrough w/plasticity they intended for it to work in that way. Where were you hours ago. Thanks again and I appreciate your simple answer. I could not find a wizkids explanation anywhere.

I consider this item finished. (For Now) Thanks again DitoMan

No prob. I only just came accross this thread a little while ago. I wanted to be clear on this very situation as preparation for potential disputes next time I play. I was glad to find a conversation under way and then I rembered wiz kids reviewed all the new powers before they released

A character with improved movement ignores other characters for movement. When you ignore, you treat them as not there. Since they are not there, you do not need to break away

Sheesh

While your definition of Move isn't wrong, it is leaving out the fact that a character can also move 0 squares. Since a character cannot start another action until the current action is resolved, it literally impossible for a character to be doing anything other than moving once it has been given an action to move.

I really don't know how to make it more basic than that. However, considering you don't want a "that's the way it is" response, and you immediately accepted the "that's the way it is" response in the rules in review, I am convinced you've been trolling the whole time.

His problem is that the PAC says that IM activates when the character moves, which suggests that movement must be underway before the effects occur. It does not, strictly speaking, have any effect before movement actually begins. And movement does not begin when you give a move action, it begins when you are able to move. It really could use some rewording, but his approach could use some improvement as well.

Another way to determine is by using hypersonic speed. You can use the ability and not even move as the power states you attack during movement. If you cant move with hss cause the move ended because you based a character with plasticity then you can't attack cause you attack during your movement. Any character with improved movement (ignore characters) ignores characters and the abilities during the movement process unless they can't be ignored such as NML Clay face or JL52 deathstroke special power as his power checks after the action of the opposing character resolves.

I don't see how giving an action to move a character does not cause movement to begin. It is at that point break away would be rolled (if necessary), and quite literally no other actions can be taken (minus exceptions like HSS) until the movement has ended.

If you give a character a move action (or any action that involves movement) and are adjacent to an opposing character, when you attempt to move break away will be required. Basically you have an action that will cause you to move and you have the intent to move, but you haven't moved yet. A failed break away means you did not move: you started to, but you were prevented. No movement occurred, though: you did not "begin to move", or you would be able to make HsS attacks and pick up objects and neither is allowed. If IM doesn't take effect until you actually move, then it wouldn't be in effect at the point when you would roll break away.
Per the rulings we have IM actually takes effect when you are given an action that would cause you to move, when you actually would move, not when you actually do move. The interaction would be clearer if it were worded to reflect that.

So Instead of:

Perhaps it should be worded:
Improved Movement
A character with the symbol uses the effects indicated by its character card. Improved Movement activates whenever the character is given an action that includes movement.

This way it covers all the power actions that include movement as well.

See, as I read that, attempting to move means that you have begun the process of moving. Break Away is required to determine if you can successfully move, and it is very clear that you cannot do anything else until after you have made the roll. If you fail Break Away, then your movement failed.

Perhaps a better way to phrase it would be to say that the Break Away roll is a part of the movement in the same way that an attack roll is a part of an attack. While the wording used by Wizkids isn't always consistent, it is very clear that once an action has been given, that action must be resolved before any other action can be given. Therefore, the Break Away roll is a part of the character's movement.

Also please note you can't pick up an object if you had to end your movement when you entered that square, because you based a character or you stopped in hindering terrain for ex.

Also for the ignore characters look at skitter her special ability basically says you normally would ignore her but you can't because. ..
Opposing characters adjacent to skitter can't use improved movement ignore characters. Its her speed power

Certainly it's all tied together, and the timing is not expressed in definite terms. There's nothing wrong with the current ruling, but clearer language would make it more obvious. Dragoon999 fixated on a specific point and it didn't help that his posts came across (to me at least) not like he as seeking clarification but like he was telling us we were wrong.

If you have improved movement ignores characters and use hypersonic speed to make a close combat attack then plasticity wouldn't stop you from finishing your moving after the attack right.

Well, if you were just looking for an "official" answer, you already had one when an orange answered your question.

Correct except for nml clay face cause he can't be ignored for movement and skitter from teen titans does not allow you use ignore,etc.... cause of her speed power if you are adjacent to her. My question is for skitter does her speed power only work if the opposing was beside her at the start or will it work even if they base her or try to run past her.
