Look how well they rephrased Mystics. MUCH clearer.

Give this character a power action, to take a free action, to make a close combat attack.

?

The wording on Force Blast is bizarre ... is this prevent it from being used with feat / powers / cards that grant free moves ?

It's the same rule....

The only outer rim you are standing on is the one you are on right?

there will be color coded maps

squares in
green will be hindering
blue water
brown blocking
red elevaled

yay, pretty maps

If i'm not mistaken.. the game startup order has changed..

1) Reveal forces
2) Roll for map choice, choose map and side
3) Play BFCs
4) Place Objects
5) Place Figures

There was a discussion on the judges forum regarding the new "rim" definition. It is agreed that the new book was worded improperly, and that the LOF rules for elevated characters was not meant to be changed. The ICONs rulebook will be FAQed to reword this back to the way we have always played LOF for elevated characters. 45 degree LOF and all that still applies.

I'm glad for that. I like taking the highlander approach to the game, and it gets annoying when I can't shoot people down there just because they left themselves at an appropriate angle.

Nevermind...............

*kills a kitten*

Yeah, that would have been an absurd change to make.

That's the way it's always been (at least in that case). If they shift to Batman TA on your turn, then they would lose their Superman Enemy TA, and even though they could change it right back to Superman Enemy after the attack, they couldn't USE that TA to reactivate the Outwit until their turn came around again. You can't use Outwit on your opponent's turn.

Yes. Otherwise you could use FB to deal 1d6 additional damage if you have BCF, or you could apply other "Close Combat Action" effects.

Like Disgaea!

I understand that. What I don't understand is why not just say.

Give this character a Power Action ... move the enemy away blah blah blah why give a power action to give a close combat action to give an attack

My guess would be it closes a loophole ... whats the loophole ?

If it was phrased that way, Supersenses couldn't avoid Force Blast.

There was a ruling at one point that since the action hadn't taken place, the Batman TA was never acquired. This has closed that loophole.

Wow. I've only read the PAC not the rulebook yet, but if that's the case...

Atlantis Rising nerfs Black Adam!

(If there are no clear terrain squares, then no objects can be placed at the beginning of the game.)

Bingo ! You win a free microwave !

The things I noticed in reading the PAC that nobody else has mentioned:

GL Corps: At last the team ability is phrased the way it was ruled to work.

Suicide Squad: At last, they got rid of the misleading "this character" phrasing (though they kept it on Steal Energy)!

Superman Enemy: No more getting two outwits with two Mary Janes. Only one of the two will get outwit.

Titans: I like the new phrasing here. It looks like it can be used to get past activation clicks now, since the team member you're healing doesn't have to be injured.
