OK here's a few questions:

1. Can giants be captured by big figures? Last I checked, most of the giants are bigger than the big figures that would be capturing them, two at a time. Is this really the case?

2. I think I read somewhere that you can swap life points between x-men/titans even if the recipient figure is at full health. So the question is: can a full-health click receive a click from another figure?

3. Rules about characters being off the board during running shot.

Consider this situation: Hawkeye is carrying Jinx and executes a running shot action.

Now it has been ruled that characters being carried cannot use abilities such as probability control because they are considered to be "off the board". That's all well and good.
However, I was told that hawkeye could not place Jinx between himself and his final running shot target, as jinx would block line of sight, which would mean that she is, in fact, ON the board.

These two rulings directly contradict each other, and the laws of logic.

Can someone explain to me how this works?

Nothing in Giant rules (page 30 of Icons rule book) says they can not be captured.

If you really want to, I guess you could... but wouldn't it be more worthwhile to push the guy you are going to "heal", so that way you actually get an action out of the damage?

Because the attack for Running Shot occurs after the movement. So when Hawkeye does attack with Running Shot, Jinx would indeed be back on the map.

Note, however, that the attack granted during HSS option 1 and transporter move and attack occurs during the movement. Thus, characters carried during HSS/transporter move-and-attack would be off the board at the time of attack (and would not block LOF). I think Hawkeye's transporter nature (and the fact that he essentially has two move and attack options) is what is causing your confusion.

So you're saying that Jinx could indeed use her probability control to reroll hawkeye's running shot attack?

For Running Shot (or Charge, for that matter), carried characters are set back down on the map before the attack is made. So, yes, Jinx would be back on the map and could use her PC on Hawkeye's attack roll. This does not work during HSS option 1 or transporter move and attack (as I explained above).

I knew that HSS was completely out. It was the charge/RS that I wasn't sure about. Thanks for the clarification.

P.S. I still think it sucks that giants can be captured :P

*prays for erreta*

oops, errata.

BTW, is there something special I have to do to gain the ability to edit my own posts?

Donate $50 to HCRealms http://www.hcrealms.com/forum/subscriptions.php

You have Editing ability in the Trading forums, and for two seconds in the News, Articles and Announcements sub-forum.

Off the top of my head, you might be able to edit your posts if you are a high level donor to the 'realms. However, I am a donor (evidenced by my custom avatar) and I can't do it... so it obviously doesn't work at all donor levels. What the specific donor level might be (or even if it does exist; I may be remembering this incorrectly), I have no idea.

FYI, everyone can edit their posts in the trading forum (so you can keep your trade threads updated).

Thanks. I thought you could get it by donating; I just couldn't remember how much (I just knew I couldn't).

Ah, good to know. Thanks for the information

IIRC, you cannot 'heal' a character with the X-men/Titans TA if they are on thier begining spot, but I don't have my stuff with me, so I can't check.

I'll check when I get home....

Yeah, PL is correct:
And since you cannot heal past your starting click (for the same reason that Big Figures cannot heal past their starting click to get to their higher rankings), that scenario will not work.

Thanks man.

Yes, add my thanks to the pile as well.

I thought I remembered something like that being in the errata, but my Acrobat reader was acting up so I based my answer of my hard copy of the PAC I had handy.

I should have couched my answer to say "... unless the errata says otherwise."

Oh well, I hadn't made any big mistakes for a couple days. I was well overdue

I was thinking they might have changed the X-men/Titans ruling with the Icons PAC, so that you could heal an unhurt character, but I don't have that with me now...
