Hi, just had this pop up in a game awhile back...

Gambit perplexed up Colossus' damage to 5, and then Gambit pushes to attack ........ losing his perplex.

Next Meltdown uses the X-man TA to heal Gambit back up(regaining his perplex).

Given this situation I have two questions;

1. The +1 damage that Gambit that gave to Colossus stays in affect(even though Gambit loss the perplex) until Colossus either attacks, is damaged or that players turn ends, right?

2. If #1 is right, when Gambit regains perplex, can he use it again or is it considered the same power that was lost and can't be used again. [I have no idea on this one.]


Thanks for the help,

1) The effect lasts until the end of the turn. That is the way we play it.

2) The once per turn is still enforced so you could not Perplex again this turn.

Both are absolutely correct.

Cool, thanks for the help.

Good questions...

#2) Perplex can only be used once per turn period. This is like Outwit being gained through multiple combinations of Superman Enemies becoming adjacent during the course of a turn. Any particular fig only gets to use Outwit ONCE.

#1) I don't know on this one. The wording on "stays in effect" was probably not meant to mean staying in effect if the power is lost on the dial. I think this is like all the other powers (Outwit, Smoke, Barrier, etc.)

Or I could be wrong. Teach me to watch a clip of Clone Wars cartoon while posting...
