[i]SELF PRESERVATION: Amon Sur can use Toughness. When Amon Sur takes damage, if he possesses Self Preservation after the attack resolves you can immediately move him up to half his speed value (he breaks away automatically).[/I]

If Amon Sur is adjacent to a friendly character when he takes damage can he take that character with him.

No, the carry ability specifically says that you can only carry when you are moving as the result of being given an action. Since Amon Sur is not taking an action, he cannot carry.

Also, this sort of question is more appropriate for the "Rules of Combat" forum a couple forums down.
