Hi every one, and thank you for all the clarifications about this character. What I'm loking forward to know is: when Cap uses the shield in a ranged combat attack, the shield must be placed in a square adjacent to one of the targets. I asume the player controlling Captain America chooses the square he prefers to place it in, right?
Thank you so much in advance.

You are correct.

THE SHIELD (LIGHT OBJECT): The Shield can't be destroyed, only #CA040 Captain America can hold or pick up The Shield. When used in a ranged attack, Captain America may target two characters and deals 3 damage to each hit character. After any attack using The Shield involves, place it in a square adjacent to a target's square. This object does not count toward your force.

Not to nit-pick here, though it will come up eventually, but doesn't that specify two different characters when read literally. Just saying that I've seen other SPs/game texts where it specifies each time.

Figs like Scorpio don't specify his figure # whereas AEs & Beast Boy I believe specify the fig #.

over 10 squares?!? thought it was supposed to be within 6 squares?

The object is a light object, so Cap can throw it 8 squares. He also has running shot with a 9 movement (when he has the shield), so he can move 5 squares and throw it 8 more. Its a great first strike that you can unleash on turn 2, or wait until turn 3 if you want to charge in and pick it back up your next turn.

The units section here incorrectly lists Cap as having a 6 range. He has a 0 range.

oh i see. thanks for clarification.

after reading this topic, i have just one question, how true is it that the shield, after tk has used it in an attack, will just be placed adjacent to the hit character, because it can't be destroyed.. nothing in the power specifically states it..

It states on the back of Cap's card on the wording for the object, place in adjacent square after using it in an attack. It does not specify TK or Throwing.

yes, it says "after any attack" thanks misterid!

Couldn't find this question anywhere, if you crit hit with caps shield throw attack does it add 1 damage to each character hit or 1 damage to be chosen who takes the damage?

Crit hits deal +1 damage to each target hit. So both.

Can someone explain how she removes the object if it can't be destroyed? Is this some kind of nit picking wording where remove is not the same thing as destroy because I'm not buying that?

You should buy that. It isn't nit-picky at all.

Removed from the game is simply that. It isn't destroyed.


It's the same reason you can "eat" it (or Mjolnir) with something like Nanobots.

MATTER, EATEN: Give Matter-Eater Lad a free action and destroy an adjacent wall, adjacent square of blocking terrain, or remove an object in his square or an adjacent square from the game.

So he can destroy walls and blocking terrain but just magically makes objects (and only objects) vanish from existence as opposed to being destroyed. It's the same thing with Kitty. How are they "removing" it if not by destroying it. Seems like a really dumb needless distinction.

You are welcome to have that opinion, but there's really no need for the hostility about it.

The rules of this game require explicit wording on such things. The result is that there IS a difference between destroying an object and removing it.

There are rules spelled out in the rulebook on destroying objects, if the language used in the effect does not say "destroy" then that part of the rulebook and other effects, like Cap's Shield, don't apply.
