Re: Question Dump: Post Your Questions Here.

I'd call it a "pre-attack power." Hopefully that's specific enough.

Obviously there are movement powers and there are attack powers, along with defense powers, but what would you guys call an ability that happens "after moving and before attacking." I know its considered a special power or special ability but I'm looking for a classification name.
None of these things have specific classifications. Worse, the definitions are muddied; I can think of various powers that aren't clearly "attack powers" or "movement powers" even though they are in those phases.

If you're trying to reference powers by classification, it's not really going to work. There are just too many grey areas.

Re: Question Dump: Post Your Questions Here.

He's just trying to make his own thing. Not trying to classify existing powers, as I see it. Check his customs thread.

Re: Question Dump: Post Your Questions Here.

Is there any problem with just saying "after moving and before attacking" in the wording of the ability? I can't really see why you have to have a special term for it.

Re: Question Dump: Post Your Questions Here.

It’s for a thing he’s making. It’s not just for a one off power. Check out his customs thread if you’re interested.

Re: Question Dump: Post Your Questions Here.

I really think "Pre-Attack Ability" would suit your needs just fine.

Re: Question Dump: Post Your Questions Here.

They're actually not "abilities" in Heroscape, they're "special powers".

So they'd be "after moving and before attacking special powers", or

AMABASP

Next question.

Thanks for all of you guys answers. For my specific little side project I just made a reference card for my attachment cards. The biggest reason I needed help with it was because I wanted to make sure that a character couldnt use more than one of each part of a turn. 1 movement or move special power, one after moving and before attacking power,and finally 1 attacking power. I think that takes care of it.

Question Re: Question Dump: Post Your Questions Here.

Hi. I'm new to the site and I have trouble understanding how it works so I have no idea if this is the right place for me to be asking this question but here goes nothin':

What's the best way to repair damaged units? For an example of the kind of damage I'm dealing with, Jotun's front foot is entirely broken so that he's not attached to his base on that foot. I've tried hot glue on some of my other damaged figures but that doesn't really do the trick. Should I try gorilla glue? Or something else?

Thanks, Shoe.

Super Glue works in most cases. I use Loctite Super Glue Gel Control (blue and silver bottle). It's easy to work with and doesn't run like normal super glue. Be sure to clean off any hot glue residue there may be.
