So I look at the fast forces figures in star trek. Initially I think Spock gets +1 to attack granted by his trait, Mr Scott gets +1 damage granted by his trait etc. Then I read Koloth ' s special power where he can up himself and all klingons +1 defense. The wording of the power is different then the traits of fast forces characters. So now I think that Spock doesn't get the +1 to his attack etc.
But I'm told that I'm incorrect here, so I need it explained. Koloth ' s power confuses me.

Essentially is Spock friendly to himself? I feel like Koloth ' s special power suggests that a character is not friendly to itself.

Please quote the effects in question.

Yes, he gets the +1 from his trait. A character is always friendly to themselves.

As to why Koloth specifies "himself", I'm not really sure. It's superfluous. It parses a bit better that way, but the inconsistency does create some understandable confusion.

We also just recently got a ruling on Big Barda from HQGG that makes this issue pretty clear- http://win.wizkids.com/bb/viewtopic....21a86ca4038370

Nevermind. Too slow!

I HAVE ANALYZED THEIR TACTICS, CAPTAIN: UNIQUE MODIFIER: Friendly characters that are adjacent or have the Starfleet keyword modify attack +1.

do they figures with the starfleet keyword have to stay adjacent or will they get the modifier anywhere on the map?

Characters with the keyword do not need to be adjacent at any point.

I had heard that Koloth had been nerfed so that his buff only works within range and line of fire. If that's the case why didn't the FF Bridge Crew get the same treatment?

Our have I misheard?

Perplex still has a range limit that has not been bypassed.

Ah, well at least I don't have to worry my bridge crew is going to get caught in the nerf before I have a chance to play them!

Point of technicality: it's not a nerf if it's how the power is worded.

Pardon, as you say. Still it seems like if Star Fleet has so many buffs don't the Klingons deserve one?

I actually really like how the Klingons are designed. I have yet to run them together, but on paper, they seem like they'd be a fairly solid fighting force.

I've run them about six times and they are seriously fun.....but they get picked to pieces closing with your opponent.

The token shedding and healing make up for the general lack of willpower. I managed to win ( by points ) against a team of the Gorn, Trelane, Charlie X, Tribbles, Khan...and Skeets.

Wow, Trelane is ANNOYING. Sadly my other five games didn't go so well, of course three of them were against chase teams and the other two were against teams that had Groot Thor and Ice Barrier Captain Cold that managed to tie my team down and keep me from getting enough Empower to get through the other teams reducers.

P.S. If you can give them a little Plasticity to tie down their opponents or a little barrier to cover their advance I think it'd go a long way to increasing their overall survivability.

Also while I was running Kor, Koloth, a commander two captains and a lieutenant I don't have Kang so I can't actually gauge how he effects the team overall.
