The Book of Batgirl (Barbara Gordon)

[Soundwarp SG-1]

The Ogre has that wording so that Cyprien can Life Drain him with a fatal 'counter strike' and such. If you leave out the 'by that figure' part, then the wounds would just come from the special power, and Life Drain/whatever else wouldn't activate. Not sure if there is anyone in C3G where that distinction is relevant though.

Hmm, both of our vampire heroes state "from an attack" for their Life Drain-like abilities. As do the other, similar powers that I checked. Still, it's entirely possible that we could use Life Drain at some point in the future, or a similar power. There also may already be powers where this could come up. Either way we go, I think we could FAQ it, but the Lumbering Bully is probably the cleanest and clearest. Any objections to that?

We're careful about using "from a normal attack" or from a specific special power or what have you when phrasing powers that trigger on destroying a figure. It wouldn't bother me, but I don't think it's necessary (and if we're consistent it never should be).

If we're consistent, yeah. There could be some overlooked corner cases though. Spelling it out avoids any future worries and the potential for an FAQ. And it's not like we're hurting for space on the card. I think we're best off with the wording from Lumbering Bully.

I've convinced myself, I propose we move Batgirl to On-Deck.

Hmm, a little late here, but a slight oddity:

Under C3G rules, auto-shields will not count for the counterstrike portion of Reckless Advance. Which makes the whole power a little wonky (see all the craziness in Commander Rodgers' thread). Is that intentional? Seems like an auto-shield from CCE or whatever should count against her...
