Re: The Book of Knockback Optional Rules
Some of that is just game balance, but even non-SS figures can resist getting knocked back (dodging, twisting, avoiding, even summoning their mortal strength, etc.). They're just not strong enough to knock anyone back themselves.
Edits look good, Karat! Thanks for taking this on, A3n! C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

Re: The Book of Knockback Optional Rules
Heh, it's true that if Bucky is rolling 3 skulls on defense he's probably bleeding at that point.

Re: The Book of Knockback Optional Rules
Fair enough. How about another question then (actually more of a clarification).

Re: The Book of Knockback Optional Rules
The wording is probably imperfect. I believe the intent is that if they have a power that allows them to avoid rolling defense dice against the attack (i.e. successful Spidey-Sense roll) then Knockback doesn't occur. If they simply block the damage from a defensive roll (i.e. Acrobatic Mastery) then Knockback still occurs.
For Acrobatic Mastery and Knockback, I think both would occur simultaneously, so it'd be a matter of rolling a D20 to see which triggers first. If the figure moves away with Acrobatic Mastery before Knockback can be applied, then they're no longer adjacent, so Knockback doesn't get applied. If they're knocked back first instead, then they can still use their acrobatics to flip back up (assuming they're not destroyed first). C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

KNOCKBACK: MOVEMENT If a Knockback would cause a figure to move off of the map, place the figure on the last available move space on the edge of the map and do not roll for KD. If a character is on the edge of the map and held by Mr. Fantastic, Blob or Doc Ock opposite the edge, would KD still apply? They couldn't move because of the map, no damage there, but they also can't move because of Rubber Wrap, Stuck or Cyber Claw. Last edited by toyhandle; November 21st, 2020 at 03:25 PM. |

Re: The Book of Knockback Optional Rules
The inability to move due to Stuck, etc. would factor in first, so it would apply, IMO.

Re: The Book of Knockback Optional Rules
Then this is inaccurate?
That quote was pertaining to the question of what would happen if Thing KnocksBack a figure Rubber Wrapped on the opposite side by Mr. Fantastic, where it was ruled at the time that Mr. Fantastic would indeed be included in the roll for Knockback Damage due to the above reasoning. |

Re: The Book of Knockback Optional Rules
No, I'm sorry, I'll try to do better. Thanks for bearing with me.
Basically, when asked what would happen if Thing attacked Silver Surfer who is held on the opposite side by Mr. Fantastic, Griffin reasoned that "special powers are simply rules that break game mechanics, and that implies that the mechanics [are factored] first." He determined: "So, IMO, SS's knockback movement is stopped by the existing game mechanic that prevents him from moving through an enemy figure. That stopping of movement triggers knockback damage, and so SS and Mr F both roll for it. Which makes me think, with that line of reasoning, it's possible for there to be no Knockback Damage in my Rubber Wrapped-opposite-Edge of Map question, because the Knockback Movement was already resolved by: "If a Knockback would cause a figure to move off of the map, place the figure on the last available move space on the edge of the map and do not roll for KD." Thus, Rubber Wrap would not be preventing any movement anyway, and wouldn't cause Knockback Damage after already resolving that first part of Knockback movement. But when you said Quote:
Is it simply that before any movement takes place, Knockback movement and Special Abilities preventing movement would both need to be factored, so in the T-SS-MF scenario, only SS is rolled for, and in the Edge scenario, SS is still rolling for damage? Here's a more full contex for the Thing-SS-MrF question, if you're curious: Quote:

Re: The Book of Knockback Optional Rules
I guess you wouldn't roll for it, then. I'm happy to accept Griff's ruling.
