With the release of the LOSH set, the rules for damage from objects have changed. So since they add to Damage Value now, and are not Damage Dealt anymore, does that mean the rule of 3 applies to your Damage Value when using an object?

For example:

My Super Strength character is carrying a heavy object. The heavy object adds +2 to my Damage Value, so I can only perplex the charcters DV up by another +1 because of the rule of 3? Am I interepreting this right?

(BTW- I hate how the change has nerfed Pounce)

That's correct. No more Magog 1-shot K.O.s on Superman.

You seem to have it down pretty well.

OK thanks guys, that's what I thought.

While you have the essence of the Rule of 3 down, technically you can Perplex your damage up more than that. You can give it +12 if you'd like... but when it matters, only +3 of that will be applied.

Usually doesn't matter, but when determining damage dealt from the damage value, all modifiers (positive and negative) are applied at the same time. If you have +4 and -1, that's +3.
