I did a quick search on the forum, but was not able to find the answers. As of yet, there is no final word entry for mind control, so I thought I would post my question here.

1. If a character is hit with mind control, can they use posion (or any other "beginning of the turn powers", like leadership) as the free action?

While that is the specific question, the more general questions are once mind control hits:

2. Can a mind controllee use a "once per game action"? I believe the answer is yes, but I could not find it.

3. Can a mind controllee use a gernade?

4. Can a mind controllee use a free action, like perplex or outwit?

Those can only be used at the beginning of the turn. Since MC is being used, it's going to be past that point, so it will most likely be unusable.


Yes, but only once per game. This is in the PG.

Yes, but only if he has grenades in his own grenade pool.

Yes, but that is the only action the MCed figures may use.

Just clarifying. The Mind Control Character has to have grenades on his team and the character that is controlled uses those grenades. So if you MC them it's your grenades being used

He doesn't have to have them on his team, as far as I can tell. He just has to have grenades in his pool.

For example, say I have a team with no grenade figures on it, but I have an MCer.
I have no grenades in my pool.
I could MC your Damon Baird and have him turn an object into grenades for his pool. Now, when I MC another of your grenade guys, I have some grenades in my pool to use.

i meant you have to have grenades in the MC'ers pool,

Just highlighting the fact you can't MC a character and make them use your opponents grenades.

Oh and to clarify the OP question #1 You can MC someone to use a "at the begining of your turn effect" If you Mind Control them at the beginning of you turn.

Note that the MC would have to come from a free action to do this (the beginning of your turn ends with your first non-free action)

im surprised one asked me how thos is possible

Just remember though that if you happen to do all that, poison is a free action, so after poison that is your action and he returns to his team.

By this, do you mean the player that has mind controlled the opposing figure?

Yes, the mind controller needs to have Grenades on its team in order to have the Target of mind control use a grenade ability.
