Just want to confirm/deny the potential for some possible power/ability/card combos that I've been toying with or that could come up in a game. (ie. this power works with this card, etc)

1. Darkness Within + Flurry: Character A subtracts a click of life so that Character B can attack twice with an increased damage of +1?

2. Slippery + Shakeoff: roll anything but a 1 to inflict 1 damage everytime you break away?

3. Swingline + Charge: Move attack through hindering terrain?

4. Swingline + Stunning Blow: Damage, Incapacitate & Earthbound enemy?

5. Swingline + Trickshot: Eartbound an enemy with stealth or through hindering terrain and other characters?

6. Swingline + Taunt: Earthbound an enemy and force them to attack back?

7. Swingline + Fastball Special: Too funny.

#7, though I know it's a joke, presents an interesting question if the target is Soaring (which would be the most desirable time to give it Earthbound, of course). Yes, the 'thrower' makes a Ranged Combat Attack against the Soarer, so that part qualifies... but the grounded 'throwee' cannot be placed adjacent to a Soaring target... so I'd have to say, against a Soaring target, you can't use FSpecial at all, ruining the Swingline. Against a Hovering target, it would be fine... but there's not a whole lot of benefit to giving a Hoverer Earthbound anyway (especially with the waste of pts we know as FSpecial ).

Good question. DarkW/in states the character only gets the +1 DV for "that attack", but not necessarily for an entire action. Flurry is two separate attacks.

Yes, but remember Shake-Off prereqs!

Yes.

Presumably yes if Swingline comes into effect like Divebomb does.

Yes, with the stipulation noted above.

At the start of the controller's next turn the character would resume flying. But basically yes.
