My judge says it doesn't. Another judge says it does. I remember reading it's what makes Magog worth his stuff.

So what's up? Please and thanks in advance.

No it doesn't. Charge and Exploit Weakness are both Power Actions, and you can't combine a Power Action to activate two powers. What makes Magog good is that he can Charge in, do damage, and then next turn totally kill them.

Not according to the PAC that came with my Universe starter set.

Here's what it says for Exploit Weakness.

Lt. Green
EXPLOIT WEAKNESS (optional): Give this character a close combat action. Damage from this attack cannot be reduced by any power that reduces damage dealt.

Here's what it says for Charge.

CHARGE (optional): Give this character a power action. Move this character up to half its speed value and then make one close combat action as a free action. While this power is showing on its dial, this character is not affected by Force Blast and ignores knockback.

Seems pretty clear to me. Because Charge allows you to make a Close Combat Action as free action, and Exploit Weakness is a Close Combat Action according to the rules, it can be used with Charge.

Yeh they work together fine. Doesn't work with HSS tho.

Well hypersonic allows you to make a free ranged/close combat attack-not ranged/close combat action. It screws the Big Red Cheese to make charge somewhat useful.

Charge and Exploit Weakness Works because you move then perform a Close combat action. HSS and Exploit weakness will not work because you move and perform a free attack action (not close combat action).

So yes Magog can charge with the soda machine and blast through impervious for 8 damage, and anyone who says different is wrong.

O sorry I got mixed up. I was thinking of HHS...

I emailed Wizkids, the judge said you can use Exploit Weakness with Charge. You can also use Charge with Quake!

You can't use HSS with them though, sucks. You should be able to.

Yeah kind of a related Q: Doesn't the damage added by super strength to a close attack factor in with the rule of three and you can only increase damage by one more?

Yes the Rule of Three applies to ANY modifier. So now there are no more issues on, 'Can I perplex up RCE damage?' Yes you can, but only by one.

Rule of three says you can only modify a combat value on a dial (attack, defense, range, damage, and speed) by three in one turn.

Objects add to damage dealt which is different from damage value.

So you can perplex damage up 3, use a heavy object and score a critical hit and deal +6 damage to a figure.

Or use the soda machine and deal +7 with a critical hit. I just realized that even with the rule of three Ultimates Hulk can do 13 damage.

6 damage at one point on his dial, perplex up to nine, use soda machine, which at three to damage dealt (damage dealt doesn't count toward rule of three, roll critical hit for thirteen. Or better yet same scenario, knock non-flyer off building do 15 damage legally.

Yeah give Magog a soda machine and 3 perplexers and he can knock out anyone in the game with a hit..scary

Technically, you can only perplex damage twice when using the soda machine because it adds 1 to the attackers damage, not damage dealt.
