Flurry and Pushing Damage - If a character without Willpower has an action token and then uses Flurry, the action token is not received and pushing damage is not taken until after both close combat attacks are made.
The BCF damage roll and penetrating damage from Exploit Weakness , however, will apply only to the first attack. The second Flurry attack is a close combat attack granted as a free action, and BCF and Exploit Weakness will not apply. Outsiders Team Ability and Damage Reducers - The Outsiders team ability can prevent a character's combat values from being modified. However, damage reduction via powers such as Toughness and Impervious is not considered to be modification.
Modifiers always use the words "modify" or 'modifies". Therefore, the use of the Outsiders team ability has no effect on damage reduction. Outsiders Team Ability and Perplex - If a character has had a combat value modified via the use of Perplex, and then a character with the Outsiders team ability prevents that character's values from being modified, then the modification from Perplex for all intents and purposes will no longer apply. Modifiers are only calculated at the time when they become relevant.
Vehicles and the Utility Belt - Vehicles are considered to be characters with a special defense symbol, and therefore they can be assigned resources, such as the Utility Belt. Yes, it's hokey, but it is valid nonetheless.
Sharpshooter and Adjacent Opposing Characters - A character with the Sharpshooter ability can make a ranged combat attack against an adjacent opposing character. However, a character with Sharpshooter cannot ignore the adjacent opposing character to make a ranged combat attack against a different opposing character.
Anyone - The Captain America from Hammer of Thor usually referred to as "Smoky Feet" due to his sculpt has a special ability that states that his lines of fire are only blocked by walls or indoor blocking terrain.
Several other characters such as JL Fast Forces Batman and Superman Maxwell Lord have special abilities or traits that state that all lines of fire drawn to the character are blocked. We heard a lot of speculation that Probability Control was going to give action tokens or be only once per turn for your force, etc. Anytime you pick up the dice, for any reason, you have to think about whether you or an opponent are going to want a reroll.
The primary reason a change is necessary involves special powers and traits. We watched a lot of players play a lot of games with Probability Control. We made sure they all had characters with other powers that used d6 rolls. The vast majority of the time and in many games all of the time Probability Control was used to reroll either an attack or breakaway roll, mainly attack rolls. This is a big change, but really, it probably should have always been this way. There are two rolls that are fundamental to every single game of HeroClix, one associated with attacking and one associated with moving, and here they are.
Every other kind of die roll is something that only shows up occasionally in specific circumstances. Players are still able to reroll the vast majority and in many games all of same the rolls that they were actually rerolling before.
We definitely heard about those rarer times when it was used to reroll something else and may have been key in a particularly memorable match. We can understand and appreciate that but in the playtesting confirming this change, Probability Control still shined brightly and will continue to be a vital tool in the HeroClix toolbox.
As we said, some important changes affect standard powers, and this is no different. Those powers should be tweaked themselves.
Ideally every standard power in HeroClix should be able to stand on its own and have useful and interesting things to do without needing to combo with other powers. However, while those powers have been identified as probably needing a hard look at their relative power levels, as stated in our goals we also want to minimize the scope of changes this pass. So at this time, we are not going to rebalance them.
They all still do what they did before, with some adjusted language. Just like Poison, they simply no longer combo in ways that impact important aspects of the game and its overall clarity and consistency. If they prove to be too weak, they will be on the short list for individual power-level adjustments next rules pass.
If more than one character is targeted, each hit character is dealt 1 damage instead of normal damage". Opposing characters can't target Beta Ray Bill or friendly characters adjacent to him unless they began their turn within 4 squares of their target or are making a close attack.
