Just wondering if Invincible is able to soak up Mystics damage?

It is now, unfortunately.

Yep, it's one of the rules changes that I'm not in favor of. Doesn't make sense to me.

I agree. Wizkids seems to take things a step too far. The community wanted a slight nerf to precision strike, they took away the mastermind counter, the super senses counter, and multi-target.

Same with Mystics TA. The community was kinda sick of mystic wild card abuse, so Wizkids made uncopyable and only deal penetrating damage. Haha sorry I know that is off topic, but that has always seemed strange to me.

So many changes in the new rules seem excessive to me. I understand the changes to mind control from a simplification standpoint, but the changes to object attacks and hypersonic go overboard (and I'm not just talking about being unable to use objects during hypersonic--did we really need another type of attack to cover objects?).

Also cutsie little BS like adding KNOCKBACK to Force Blast is causing so me confusion now.

Knockback was added to Force Blast with the last rules update. I think just more people are noticing it now with all of the other changes.

Knockback added to super strength is something I think a lot of people forget about since it's not something that was ever there before.

I've known it was there and don't have much indication that people forgot and it really isn't a problem in and of itself but then they make new powers with interactions unforeseen that cause confusion.

I hated old school Mystics. I like the changes.
