I'm sure it will be in a Player's Guide. The part in parenthesis should not have been, but the intention is clear that you need 'nades to throw 'nades. I doubt many judges would rule in favor of throwing with a an empty grenade pool.

I'm guessing that it's a matter of trying to cram the rule into as few words as possible, though you only save a word or two over something like this...

Give the character a power action, if the number of grenades in your grenade pool is greater than 0, decrease it by 1 and choose a type of grenade listed on this card.

I expect something along these lines in the next PG

rep to you!!! damn i wish we lived close enough to play!! i'd play him all the time against you!! great post!

The grenade rules shouldn't need an errata; they read "[...]decrease the number of grenades in your grenade pool by 1 (if greater then 0), AND choose a type of grenade listed on this card." If you can't do all of them you can't perform the action.

Based on "For each [...] chose one:" this seems to say you can react to damaging figures one-by-one. If you hit 6 you could add one grenade to your pool, boost one friendly character's attack value by +2, and another by +3.

Eh?

Well, Mister Chief is wearing Mjolnir armor, it does make a difference.

You could technically hit 9 squares, right?
It does appear the choice is per character hit. Time to go to the rules forum!

That's how I read it and what makes that ability so very scary.

You can keep MC stocked with grenades and the thing that kept grenades from being too nasty was your limited usages of them.

Though if you set yourself up so that your opponent can hit 9 figures with a grenade, you deserve the results you get.

As long as a player is actually paying attention, it's rather likely that only 2-3 figures will ever get hit by a single grenade, at most.

But yes, it seems as long as his grenade damages one figure, he'll never run out of them.

Well sure... or 18 if you throw in a Compel (+3 attack of course!) after.

That does seem to be the way, if you've got less than 1 or don't need to make another attack that turn, you're going to pick up grenades. Notice it also works of his regular attacks, so if you're out of 'nades, you can pile them up off a regular close or ranged attack.

I'm hoping the Covenant TA is also awesome like the UNSC one clearly is.

And this right here just bumped my superman order down to one case and my halo order up to 2 cases. Holy crap I love halo and how I'm actually going to have a master chief that can kick butt. Im so happy they got rid of the switching out weapons thing from actionclix. I thought it was dumb that you could basically take a grunt an with enough upgrade tokens turn him into masterchief with fist of rukt. This figure is almost perfect, I like sculpt but the creepy blue dildo in his hand scares me.

To be fair, if you had enough upgrade tokens to do that, the game was probably over already under the standard rules.

But I'm totally fine with them taking a direction that's more compatible with main stream HeroClix. If I want to play a Halo-only game that involves weapon swapping, I can come up with some custom rules for that.

True that was a major exaggeration but still. Don't get me wrong I bought tons of it but it was just weird. I made more of a campaign mode for it. I can't wait for these to come out, I'm almost more excited for these than the superman set (which I was really excited for)

So do most of the Street Fighters...thanks, you made me vomit about that again....

Anyways, Master Chief looks great, I was not even interested in Halo Heroclix, but with a dial like that, I could get interested...
