...what if your character is carrying this object and Super Strength gets Outwitted?

I don't think you can pick the object up at all - it's considered blocking terrain so I don't see how you can pick it up. Maybe I'm wrong and am missing what it really does.

If you can pick it up though and your SS is outwitted then you most likely drop the object in the square your figure is in, then you place the fig in a square adjacent to the figure probably chosen by your opponent?

That or it's an object that will have to be dropped adjacent to the figure because it you wouldn't able to place it legally in the same square as a figure as it is blocking terrain

It isn't a continuous object, so as long as it isn't carried, it is blocking terrain, as in you cannot occupy it.

But if you pick it up, it's just a HO.

I asked this question on the WizKids Judges forum. There is not yet an official answer.

Norm's guess is that you would need to set the object in an adjacent space, rather than in the same space as the character. I hope this is not the way it is finally ruled, because it will make for several nasty strategies.

For example: Push to Running Shot with a character that has only one click of Super Strength. After pushing, the object goes down as protective blocking terrain.

As I said, however, there is no rule that determines the outcome and no official ruling yet.

Yea it should be set down in adjacent square of the opponents choice

But you can always blast said object and turn it into rubble.

I say we go with the Foom scenario rules and say it's dropped in the same square and the character that was carrying it takes one unavoidable damage

This isn't dirrected at anyone in particular. It's just that I find comments like this interesting when they expresses a concern for a potential strategy that isn't very different from another strategy that already exists in the game. For example, SN U Super Skrull can push to RS onto an object or hindering terrain, and gains Stealth on his next click. Terribly game breaking. I see no real difference between that and the example quoted.


BoT

Terribly game breaking? I dunno about all that. I think the word "broken" and the phrase "game breaking" gets tossed around a bit too much. Neither of these things are game breaking. HOWEVER it would be sweet to running shot w/the super strength, lose superstrength, drop the object in front of you for the blocking terrain, then nanobots the object next turn to get back to runnng shot and blast away again - WOOHOO!!

Some points that have been brought up elsewhere:

What if it's TK'd under a character?

Will Damage Control repair it?

Hoo boy, I see the FAQ growing by a full page for this thing alone...

I don't see how damage control would repair it you remove all objects from the game... plus objects can't be brought into the game. that question makes zero sense.

It probably can't be TKd. Yea you can TK objects but you can't TK 1 square of blocking terrain, so it wouldn't work. Those kind of questions are over complicating things. You look at both sides of what it is: it's an object so it should be able to be TKd, however it's also blocking terrain which can't be TKd - so if one part of it can't do one thing then it can't

YOU make zero sense!

But seriously, I have a problem with the faq growing over this. THERE'S A PRECEDENT! Look at the rules for FOOOOOOOOM throwing down blocking terrain right on top of your d00ds. It deals 1 unavoidable, then they get knocked back.

Hahaha hey I edited it though read the rest - how can you TK something that is blocking terrain? you can't. It is an object, ok can be TKd, it is blocking terrain, can't be TKd, so you can't TK it.

But then you can't pick it up because it's blocking terrain

yea so I bet that is the answer right there - you can't do anything with it you can just set down 1 square of blocking terrain wherever you want, that's it. makes more sense than what everyone is going nuts over - it acts like that stupid tombstone from Horrorclix.
