I appreciate everyone's patience while we've been getting this subforum set up. I realize that we are far away from having all the content in here than I'd like. What I'd like for this forum is for it to be the "go to" location for researching rules on anything.

I gave ourselves about a month to try to populate what we could. I can't speak for the other deputies, but I know I've had one of those "real life" things going on lately - Clixathon earlier in the month and a hyper-important high-visibility project in my day job - that have been holding me back from HCRealms participation in general, let alone the time this project requires.

This post will remain different from the others in that it is not going to be locked. So if there is a specific character/power that you feel needs a "Final Word" please list it in here. Between me and the deputies we will use these posts as our priority list and create the appropriate threads as we can. Once we create a thread, we'll delete the post from this thread. That way, it should be relatively easy to scan for "what's on their plate".

Please do not post to this thread of any issue that you think belongs in the Parking Lot. If there's an open issue like that, please post in the normal rules forum and it will be moved in there as deemed necessary.

I'm sure one is in the pipeline, maybe even waiting for the issue in the parking lot to be resolved but Larfleeze could use a thread.

In general though, how small of an issue are we talking about? Should HoT Cap get a thread here to say that he can attack people in stealth? Should Atrocitus get a thread here to say that his power not only "downgrades" a damage reducer for his attack, but for all subsequent attacks by your team that turn? How much overlap with the PG is expected? Like if all common questions for a character are answered in the PG, do they get a thread here as well?

I like the idea of this section, but when I came in here and saw the invitation for suggestions on specific figures I was hard pressed to think of anything off the top of my head. I'll come back if I think of any...

For my money, I think any question one would have on a figure could be researched here. No issue too small.

Overlapping the PG should be fine, imo. One thing is clear to me (and I don't mean this as a slight) but many folks on this board asking questions don't bother with the PG. I'm all about providing answers to folks however we can.

I think there needs to be a final word for the Lunge feat. That card has been out for years, and I still hardly understand all the intricacies and questions that come up about it.

I believe Maraud made a good FAQ about the Lunge feat, so that could a be a decent place to start. But I definitely think it needs to be in the final word.

The intent is to eventually get everything here in the Final Word, including feats. But you are right, Lunge is definitely one of the first feats that will be added

I think this is the right thread for this, and if not could you let me know where to post posts like this in the future...since Emperor Joker (JL 009) has been done he could use a final word indicating that critical hits can still add to the damage dealt when he successfully choses the number while using Unpredictable Omnipotence. (The maximum 2 can be a little confusing.)

I'm not sure where to put this, but would it be possible to make a sub folder for each set of characters that you are putting things into?

IE - All WoS final words go in the WoS folder?

We are already at 6 pages, and I suspect if the number of 'final words' get much longer people may stop using it. The easier it can be to find the information your looking for the better.

Thanks!

I'm not opposed to that, but it means that the forum needs constant admnistration from Typhon - something I'm sure he's willing to do if we ask. However, Now imagine it's a forum with a ton of subforums - is that really easier to navigate then just clicking on the "search this forum" and typing in who/what you're looking for.

Since you asked, I'll share my opinion -- I think it might be. Subforums are more familiar to many people. It's one of the ways that many of us already use to store files on our computers. You make a folder and then break things down within that folder into other folders. Many of us probably also have folders in our e-mails to sort various different types of messages. It's a concept that people are very familiar with. On the other hand, I very rarely search for a file on my computer. (Probably because I can easily move through the folders to get to the proper file.) I do search my e-mail from time to time, but that's because I don't use folders as much as I should. And I do find it inconvenient when I do have to search my e-mail. So there's my opinion for what it's worth.

Note that the forum search feature lets you search a specific forum and it's child forums, so it wouldn't be harder to do a forum search with this arrangement than it is now.

Exactly. As a bonus, if someone searches in the Rules Forum, a Final Word will show up as well.

We 100% need a Final Word on Gambit/Rogue's attack power and their ability to attack 5 times in one turn. I really hope this ruling gets changed by Thursday or else people WILL exploit it!

It's already been ruled that they can only use it two times (once normally and once as a free action) in a single turn.

From the Player's Guide:
Even if it hadn't been ruled on (and even though it has been ruled on), your judge can still rule however your judge sees fit.

As follow up Pepsirox08...totally misread my clock and didn't realize that you posted that yesterday. And I can't edit my posts in here. We do have a ruling now though, so hopefully your judge goes with the ruling and you have no problems at your event.
