I remember hearing on a recent Clixcast that Hammer does full boosted damage to all targeted characters. Can someone please provide the documentation that shows this?

Go to WIN. Search Hammer.

It is, at the moment, the third unpinned thread so the search isn't even really necessary.

Look in the e&c section on the rules forum under damage or normal damage or something, you'll find it, I believe in you.

I did find it, and I guess I took some time to maybe understand the argument. I showed it to my judge, and he's having the same confusion I do. Assuming a swarm, can you get the +2 attack from RCE and the +3 from the other ability, applying the full, undivided damage to all targeted?

Yep, sure can.

Wow that's nuts. Glad I pulled him after all. Still would prefer Wiz Kid but that's a lot of damage potential for 50 points!

This ruling makes absolutely no sense whatsoever

Hammer is the antidote for the 40-to-50 pt swarm teams!

The ruling itself makes sense. Whats questionable is why the E&C entry that causes it even exists in the first place. It affects like 2 figures that I can think of (this and a Winter Soldier), and makes them considerably better than what was probably intended. For the life of me, I haven't been able to figure out why they felt the need to reverse the way this works (the Winter Soldier was originally ruled to have to divide damage as per usual).

OP Dormammu benefits greatly from this as well

Rocket launcher Punisher from ADW seems to confirm we are getting huge damage for low points now even though it seems bonkers.

I had a big explanation, with precedents, explaining why this should not be the case and the standard splitting of damage would apply (opposite of said above, it is normal to split unless it says it deals the specific damage to each target)

If this is their ruling then I guess that is it but it is an idiotic ruling contrary to everything that precedes it.

It is a whacky ruling. I also wonder why it doesn't have the "regardless of range or LoF" clause that so often follows "may target..." yet does not require range and LoF according to WIN.

Makes me wonder whether we should ask if he can carry giants/colossals, just to be safe...

I hope it is explained explicitly in the new rulebook even though it does not apply to many figures.

They did add it to the E&C though which is basically the electronic Player's Guide and is good enough for now.

Not disputing it being overpowered as heck.

So... why does he?

Don't you always have to split the damage among hit targets? I saw that it was stated that he does in a question unrelated to that portion.

Or is it just that. He does cause someone just said he does? (Which reading WIN feels like they just weren't thinking)
