It's this one:
Or is it that he attacks all adjacent figures, then attacks all adjacent figures again?

He circles around twice punching each figure as he passes.

Why not just simplify it like this then?

CIRCLING PUNCH SPECIAL ATTACK
Range 1. Attack 2.
Quicksilver may attack all adjacent figures twice. Roll attack dice separately for each attack on each figure.

It's probably not necessary but seems like it helped explain the purpose of the power. But you are correct in that the space they occupied was not empty. consider that "other" word edited out!

[IAmBatman]

Were they occupying an empty space adjacent to Wonder Woman when they were chosen? (Ah, yes, you got there too).

quozl, I don't think your suggested wording follows his intent. I think something like after using the special attack you may use it one additional time might get to the point better.

It seems he wants you to go through the process of each of your initial attacks before going to any of your second attacks on figures.

[Matt Helm]

Correct. Although quiz's wording is succinct, it doesn't describe the intent and the timing could be off. It suggests you attack a single figure twice before moving on to the next figure.

Maybe this spells it out better:

CIRCLING PUNCH SPECIAL ATTACK
Range 1. Attack 2.
Quicksilver may attack all adjacent figures. Roll attack dice separately for each figure. When Quicksilver attacks with his Circling Punch Special Attack he may attack one additional time with his Circling Punch Special Attack.

It sounds redundant but I think it plays out the steps of Wash, Rinse, Repeat:
1. Attack all adjacent figures of choice (not mandatory to hit them all).
2. Roll attack dice and defense dice for each one.
3. Repeat the process one time.

EDIT: Does it help any to change the title to CIRCLE TWICE SPECIAL ATTACK ? My kids don’t like the idea of changing the title though.

[IAmBatman]

I still think "After Quicksilver uses his Circling Punch Special Attack, he may use his Circling Punch Special Attack one additional time" reads more clearly.

[Matt Helm]

Um, duh, so do I. Haven’t you read my last edit?

... Thanks buddy, I like that and made the change.

Edit: by the way, the changes can be summarized as,

Flash - changed class to “Speedster” which allows slight edit of wording in Speedster Engagement Strike.

Quicksilver - changed class to “Speedster” which allows slight edit of wording in Supersonic Strike (name change from Hyper Speed). Also cleared up Special Attack wording (thanks guys).

Wonder Woman - removed limit on Bullets and Bracelets. One word removed from Lasso (thanks Bats)

Doctor Octopus - changed x2 climb to x3 climb to allow for castle wall scaling.

Lex Luthor - changed Master Planner to not require Order Marker 1 but rather X Market that gives player an extra last turn with any hero when they win initiative. This radical difference affects his total points.

On all powers I added the number to the title if the 20-sided die roll power warranted it.

[IAmBatman]

Cool. Now what are you going to LD for C3G?

[Matt Helm]

I've been think about it, Bats, I really have. I need to look through the C3G catalog to see what is out there and what is missing. Then if I can formulate some ideas, I'll jump in with the team.

By the way, I noticed in the official roster there is only one "C3G Joker" and he's not Joaquin Phoenix.

[IAmBatman]

It's hard to beat an original.

We're up to 901 in our catalog now, so you've got some reading to do!

[A3n]

BTW: can you please make a space in one of the first 3 posts of this thread to group & link to the posts of work that I need to do. I wasn't sure if I got all & having one place to look would be helpful. That way I can say it's your fault if I miss it & it's not there.

[Matt Helm]

Yipeeeeee! It's X-mas time in the Helm household. All of those updates and Jean Grey looking so awesome. Does anyone doubt that A3n is the greatest?

I can absolutely turn the 2nd post into the link for new art commissions. You are da'MAN!

Thanks, partner, I could never do this without you.

And before Bats chimes in... I haven't forgotten about the C3G.
