-Rulings and Clarifications-

• The 'S' symbol.
  The 'S' symbol in the lower left-hand corner of the card signifies this figure has Superstrength. A figure with Superstrength is immune to Falling and Major Falling; the figure is not immune to Extreme Falling however. A figure with Superstrength is also able to ignore any abilities a destructible object has that would give it automatic shields. (Firemaster)
  
  - MIND CONTROL : Using it on your own figures
  Can your own Doom figure use Mind Exchange 17 to take a turn with a unique Hero that you control?
  Yes. (Hasbro FAQ)

Am I hallucinating or did I just read a post in here by Ninth asking a question that has subsequently disappeared?

[ninthdoc]

I found the discussion relating to it on another thread and deleted my post. This does not negate your hallucinations.

[IAmBatman]

gotcha, thanks for clearing that up. I was worried I had a mouse slip and deleted it on accident or something!
that clarification is a relevant one for this thread, though, perhaps we should link the other thread here?

For those interested, here's that thread, which has a discussion not only about passing swipes with Mind Exchange, but also why you can't use Mind Exchange to abuse Red Skull's Master Manipulator power.

OK, so I skimmed around the threads a bit looking for the question but not really finding anything useful or even really asking the question. So with that said I'll just ask here!

ALL QUESTIONS ARE IN REGARDS TO MIND EXCHANGE 17 AND LEAVING ENGAGEMENTS!

1) If Doom is adjacent to the figure he is 'Mind Controlling', if that unit leaves engagement, can Doom roll for a disengagement strike?
-- I'd say no since when you take control of him, you treat him as a friendly --But in the end he is NOT a friendly!

2) If Doom is adjacent to the figure he is 'Mind Controlling', and that figure is also adjacent to another one of your units, do either units have the opportunity to roll for a disengagement strike if engagement is broken?

3) If Doom is adjacent to the figure he is 'Mind Controlling', and that figure is also adjacent to another opponents unit, does either unit have the opportunity to roll for a disengagement strike if engagement is broken?

I know this is still a new game and no one really has the answers, but is there anyone heading up the question submissions?

---------------------------------
I would like that, that mind-exchanged figures can be swiped by Doom's allies. Just because you took a turn with that figure, it doesn't mean he's your ally even for momentarily. And why would the mind-exchanged figure's ally swipe him? That figure is still their ally.

But of course, if this should be, then the game is broken.

Then again, maybe it's like Mind Shackle without handing over the card (because it's just for a turn).
------------------------------------------
Question: Can a figure move back and forth? If so, the mind-exchanged figure can engage and disengage multiple times to whoever is eligible for swiping.

But what if nobody can swipe attack the mind-exchanged figure? Because at its state, the figure is neither friendly or enemy. Any thoughts on this?

Man that is some technical stalemate. But in respect to Heroscape, we should all agree not to do this. Not unless you badly want to win, or to annoy your friends.

Is it safe to assume that written rules aren't everything that brings order to Heroscape?

What the heck are you talking about? If I'm mind controlling her, I'll have her do whatever I want, especially if it means walking her off a cliff! I would hope my opponents would take the same opportunity if it presented itself.

Riiiiiiiight.

Since cavorting into lava is a legitimate action, and jumping off the cliff is the same, do we file these under "Lame Moves that Warrant a Kick in the Crotch" like Stinger Denial or is it a legitimate ruse de guerre?

I would think that the degree of Mind control would have to be a lot higher to make a character want to commit suicide than to simply get their team and objectives confused. After all- it's mind exchange, NOT Mandatory Pauly Shore Movie Watching Exchange.

[rdhight]

I'm not sure those questions need answering by WotC. Doom and his permanent allies can't swipe the mind-controlled figure; the figure's true owner can.
