Ok, the DR PAC says that it is a free action to pick up objects while moving. Does this meen if I have a super strength HSS guy (like Invincible) I can start my move, pick up an object, whack someone with it, move away, and on the way pick up ANOTHER object?

It seems that this is what the PAC says.

Also, is this something that was changed with DR? I seem to remember it sayings "Once during a move/power action" etc etc.

thanks.

Heck yeah you can.

Fun tactics:


V Black Adam HSSs in, smacks a stealthed character with his Coke Machine for 6 dmg, grabs the item they are camping on, and high tails it away

VBA HSSs in, smashes with generator, it drops, he picks it up, and runs away

It's gross


Edit - I am pretty sure it's always been that way

For as long as I can remember, at least. This is illustrated quite nicely by your Black Adam example; that's one of the reasons he almost immediately dominated the tournament scene after Unleashed was first released (that and his easily healable DV).

Thanks guys.

He's rather powerful as a hit and run


plus his character is pretty pimp, and fits on some fun thematic teams

Yeah, he pretty much pioneered the HSS Brick + TK yo-yo trick. U Nightcrawler had been doing it for awhile, but it required a lot of Perplex to be effecitve and the Rule of 3 reduced that effectiveness even more. Adding damage via Super Strength became more desirable (since object damage isn't capped by the rule of 3), but before BA the only characters that fit the bill were U Amazo (a lot of points and rare) and LE OWAW Superman (even more points and ever more rare).

Black Adam was/is an easy to get, hard hitting, easy to heal, cheap character. He is still pretty effective even today... but the Support change makes it a little harder to heal him all the back in one go.

Enter E Dr Midnite

Push to heal, with WP and it's thematic for JSA

If I can get my hands on that rumoured Jay Garrick with JSA we're all hoping for in Origins, my JSA team is gonna rock
