BFC: Inertial Interference Field

When a character makes an attack using Running Shot, Charge, or Hypersonic Speed, reduce damage dealt by 2. Knockback damage is reduced by 1.

OOh that BFC is so going to hurt Supes

Supes can still do 5 damage, either by hitting someone with a HO while using HSS or just blasting them with heat vision without using HSS.

Arkillo, Blackfire/Bedovian, and EE/Cyborg Supes are also hampered by the BFC--maybe even worse, as it's harder to break through Supes' damage reducers.

There's also not really anywhere good for them to hide either.

Map and BFC have me hosed. Oh well, there's always next year.

I'll take the left. Let you set up and move first.

sorry about the delay, can't go on the realms at work anymore.

Sure glad I brought my TK, that will help overcome this BFC.

Though it won't effect Pulse Wave, as it's unmodified damage

Pulse Wave doesn't ignore BFCs. The Nova Blast feat says unmodified damage, but I don't think feats override BFCs either.

But...it's not ignoring the BFC, it's ignoring the modifier. I'm sure there's an example where something like this occurs, where there's a way to do something that nerfs the BFC, like using BCF instead as a replacement value instead of a modifier.

Pulse Wave also ignores modifiers if it's a single target blast. It doesn't have to ignore the BFC, and at no point does it ignore the BFC. It's just the rules .

but thinking about it again, it's not a scenario of -2 damage, it's a matter of reducing damage dealt by 2. So it isn't EE has -2 damage, it's that all figures have invulnerability on top of the other damage reducers to all move/attack type attacks.

My question is rescinded

But Pulse Wave does not ignore modifiers.

It ignores powers, TAs, and feats. ("All powers and team abilities possessed or used by characters within range of this attack as well as feats assigned to them are ignored until the action has been resolved ..." from the FF PAC)

In most games, the way this comes up is when you pulse wave a character in hindering terrain. The character gets the +1 modifier to Defense from hindering in that case.

Here, the BFC reduces Running Shot/Pulse Wave damage dealt by 2.

I don't know, off the top of my head, whether you can override a BFC through a feat (i.e., Nova Blast's "unmodified damage"), but I would guess not.

Yeah, my wording was incorrect, but a single target pulse wave uses it's unmodified damage similar to Nova Blast.

The wording of the card is reduce damage dealt, which isn't even a modifier, which makes my point moot, which I said

Single target pulse wave doesn't use unmodified damage. It's entirely possible to perplex damage and then pulse wave a single character and get the benefit of the increased damage.

The reason Nova Blast specifies "unmodified damage" is precisely to avoid this situation (e.g., perplexing Emerald Empress' damage to 7 and vaporizing an entire team in one shot).
