Alright, the judge at my venue likes to come up with strange scenarios and the one for next week has left me with some questions. Basically it's everyone has the Capture ability. If, for some reason, you're playing something that already has it, you get +2 to Capture rolls. Aside from the one fig with it out of SI, Capture was pretty much before my time in HC and I'm not all that familiar with it. As such, I have a couple of questions:
1. Can the following types of figs be captured: Colossals, Giants, duos, and any other figures that are on more than a single base?
2. What happens if a figure has already captured someone, is still holding them, and they themselves get captured?
3. Does capturing require LoS? In other words will things like Stealth or The Hand/League of Assassins ATA protect you from it under the right circumstances?

1. Only a character with the symbol can be captured. Base size does not effect this.
2. Good question. I don't know...I'll look up the Capture rules in a sec lol.
3. No LoF is needed. Capture is triggered with a Close Combat Attack, which you can do regardless if LoF. (FYI, clix uses LoF exclusively as opposed to LoS.)

I would have to say that you would release any captives that a captured capturer had... I would follow the rule for releasing captives when the capturer is KO'd.
This is just a guess, and I would ask your judge how he wants to run it. TBH, I don't know that this would ever have been ruled on, as the number of figures that can capture are so few, and all but one of those capturers cannot be captured (without extensive maneuvering and gimmicks).
