Well I can see the lanterns having a special rule to allow anyone to pick them up. I don't see why that would apply to all light objects.

We'll see with the new rule book but it seems to me like people are reading too much into it.

I actually asked KlixKilla to spoil the objects combat rules for us to clarify, since he has a starter in hand. But seriously I remember reading this somewhere. I just can't find it now...

check my last post. i think i found the thread

I read it in the rumor forum in this topic... http://hcrealms.com/forum/newreply.p...eply&p=4594628

But given that pretty much every single thing in that post has turned out to be incorrect and I haven't seen it confirmed anywhere else, I tend to believe it's not true.

Norm earlier in this thread said that the SS rules are essentially unchanged, but this line about canceling SS was added for clarity. I believe that because of that, your assumption is correct. Picking up all objects will require SS.

That doesn't mean that they don't come down if you lose the power or have it countered. By the same reasoning, one could say that you can't destroy a Barrier token.

It's a general rule that if a power is lost or countered, then its long-lasting effects end. Check out things like the Jokerfish and Trigon's Dopplegangers for confirmation.
It's my understanding that you still need SS to pick up any object.

well, there you have it.

I did read it.
Its just not true

they are pretty much saying once you have picked up an object you don't let go until you use it in an attack. i disagree with how that keeps things simple but i guess its a gamble when your using something like a lantern.

So the definition of CANCEL has changed k got it thank you...

thank ppl peace thread dead

Just giving Harpua a chance to reply:
And he's very right. Nothing about "cancel" has changed.
