Hi all,

Some quick questions on Charge, Super Strength and Exploit Weakness powers.

#1 If someone is standing on an object, can you use Charge, move the appropriate spaces to be next to your opponent, pickup the object and use the object (if you have SS) on your opponent? I heard that you can't pickup an object at the end of your Charge movement.

#2. Say you have Charge and Super Strength, and you're holding an object, can you use Exploit Weakness w/ the 2 other powers?

#1. In order to pick up an object you must be moving, so if you charge next to a figure your movement ends. So no, you cannot charge and pickup a object your opponent is standing on, unless you have flight.

#2. Yes

#1: Kris is mostly correct. If the Charging figure has an ability that allows them to ignore figure bases during movement (flying for example), thier movement is not ended prematurely, and can grab said object.

#2: Yes, Kris is correct. Charge allows for a character to use a Close Combat Action after the movement. EW is a Close Combat Action. Objects being held with Super Stregnth MUST be used whenever a character makes a close combat attack. EW makes a close combat attack as part of the action.



Hope this helps....

#1: I was thinking that Flight was the only power that could allow you to ignore figure bases while charging. I forgot Superman TA.

hypersonic speed can have the same efect.

Figures with phasing or leap climb with superstrength can also cruise by a charactrer and steal the object out from under them.

You could TK out spiderman to steal the object that your opponents stealthed outwitter is sitting on. Spiderman could L/C all the way back to his original square or somewhere else that is safe.

Yes, but if you are Charging will you have L/C, HSS, or Phasing?

Actually, now that I think about it, Superman Ally TA won't help. Only Flight allows you to Charge and ignore figure bases.

Note some scenarios allow you two have two powers in the same slot at one time, but other then that it doesn't happen. Also as far as the Supes TA goes that TA only applies to HINDERING TERRAIN, not to opposing charcters that hinder movement. So If some non-flyer managed to somehow copy the SupeTA and he had charge he would not be able to pick up the object that an opponent was standing in without ending his ACTION before picking up the object.

Now there is one last thing to add, if you make a break away roll you are unaffected by the opposing adjacent character and you can pick the object up and smash him or any other opposition with it.

Quite Correct. L/C, HSS, and T/P are all speed actions and will not appear at the same time as Charge will.

Also correct is that the Supes TA will not help. It ignores Terrain only, not figures.


Yer on the ball Kris...

Ok, so how I'm understanding this, if I'm a flyer w/ super strength and charge, I can "charge" to my opponent who's standing on an object, pickup the object from underneath him, and hit my opponent's character, correct? As long as my character is a flyer, I can end my movement w/ an attack w/ the object? I hope I'm making some sense.

Yes, you can.

That's great that charge and SS can be used in tandem with Exploit Weakness, but what about HSS? (i.e. the LE Shazam?)

C

HSS will not work with EW. HSS only allows for a close combat attacks. EW requires a Close Combat Action.

Psy, you are always on the ball!!
