This situation came up in a recent game, i used The Riddler to perplex an opposing figures defense down from 17 to 15. i had another figure attack said figure and hit. The target figure took damage reducing his defense to 13. Now, my question, is the target's defense still perplexed by 2 (making it 11)? or does its defense stay at 13 because it was attacked?

PERPLEX Once during your turn, give this character a free action to modify by +1 or –1 any combat value of a target character until the beginning of your next turn. A character using this power must be within 10 squares of the target and have a clear line of fire to the target, including itself. If a target character is damaged or healed, the effect of Perplex on that character ends immediately.

thats what i needed to know, thank you.

This game would be a lot simpler if all the Powers and Abilities were all located on one double sided colored card.


I would even put a copy of it in the Units Section under the Documentation heading.

Lol! I see what you did there!
