Recently a question that came in place was what happens when a character is mind controlled into putting up smoke cloud or barrier. The resolution that was made was each player would roll of & whom ever had the higher roll won the argument. The question was then place, when a character is mind controlled is it based off the mind controller or the original controller of the character?
The Powers read:
Quote
Mind control:
Give this character a close or ranged combat action (minimum range value 4) that deals no damage. A successfully hit target becomes friendly to your force. Each target hit may be assigned one action as a free action, immediately after which the target becomes an opposing character again. Deal this character 1 unavoidable damage if the successfully hit targets’ combined point value is 150 points or more.

Barrier:
Give this character a power action; place up to 4 blocking terrain markers in distinct, adjacent squares of clear terrain that are all within this character’s range (minimum range value 4). At least one of the terrain markers must be within line of fire when it is placed.The terrain markers remain until the beginning of your next turn.

Smoke cloud:
Give this character a power action; place up to 6 hindering terrain markers in distinct, adjacent squares that are all within this character’s range (minimum range value 4).At least one of the terrain markers must be within line of fire when it is placed. The terrain markers remain until the beginning of your next turn. Characters that occupy these terrain markers modify their attack value by -1 unless they can use Smoke Cloud or ignore hindering terrain for line of fire purposes.
The arguments made where it is controlled by the mind controller, in that case it is until it is 'your next turn'. On the other side of the coin it is that original owner's character & it would go down on that turn.
The question stands, who's turn does it go down on? An official ruling on this since would be nice since it seems to be a pretty "hot" question. Please let me know what the thoughts are on this.
Personally the way I see it is it goes down on your turn (the person who sets it turn). Honestly ether way makes sense to myself but it would be great to get this clarified.
If player A uses Mind Control on player B's character and uses Smoke Cloud with that character, the smoke tokens will be removed at the beginning of player A's next turn.
It is the same for all powers that last until the beginning of the player's next turn.
