Yep, SC takes Mystics damage. Had that happen to me once already. You can also apply Perplexed values (as the replacements are not locked) and use PC if you can see SC. You could also surround SC with Empower characters.

Personally, despite this being the default ruling, I am expecting errata to say "locked" at very least. And there might be some errata about the free-action loophole of moving the Torpedo out from under an opposing character.

Stay tuned.

Best response to this thread yet. Rep

Won't get you very far in this game. I could point to half a dozen rulings in just the past few weeks that are seriously counter-intuitive to what I though was my very through understanding of the game.

On the other hand, I do agree that the Pulse Bolt Torpedo is from Iron Man and thus if he has a Relic/Resource then the Pulse Bolt attack on an MV10 Iron Man would trigger his Adaptive Armor. There just isn't much precedent for attacks being made independent of the character generating them.

and thank you.

And just to clarify, you can move the torpedo once before it has to blow up since its a free action to move it and you can do that at the first of your turn, correct?

Yep.

And sorry, I should have highlighted that this is under review in my first post instead of mentioning it later. A lot of this may change.

I think we are still waiting on a final word on this. It seems like yes so far but not sure that has been locked down.

I still need to get one of these. Torpedoes look fun!

Torpedoes may be good but how about ignoring Poison, PW and PB? I saw that and thought I might have soiled myself front and back.

While those are great things, I still just see skadi's hammer tearing him a new one. but you can't have it all. So that's ok.

So if he can the bonus stats from something like the gauntlet or a perplex, would the torpedo also be able to use +2 stats from godhood on its movement also?

Hmm, I'm wondering since it's SC's game effect that creates the torpedo, does it really matter if it's SC or the torpedo dealing the damage it's still damage from a character assigned a resource. I would say all damage from a character or from any game effect that character creates that deals damage is damage from a character assigned a resource.

I don't believe so, since the move is equal to the number of acceleration tokens and is never actually a "movement value" that can be modified.

Because resources are assigned during construction and the marker is made once the game began it does matter.

If someone hit Eva with the disintegration beam on a roll of 10 or higher it would not remove a resource from Fantomex.



This sounds good.

also note that this wording is under review a liable to change
