If you inflict a wound, roll again. Doesn't say there's a limit!

You can keep rolling for it as many times as possible as long as you keep rolling 12+.

You have to roll for it the first time any figure (including your own) that moves adjacent to him. After the first roll that you roll 12+, then you have the option to roll it again to see if you roll 12+ again, so this time you don't have to do it against your own figure.

You only start rolling for it during the turn that the figure moves adjacent to him or is placed adjacent to him. So if a figure starts its turn adjacent to Electro, you don't roll for it. You also don't roll for it when Electro moves adjacent to a figure.

When playing him in an army, I kind of like to send out others first so that they don't have to avoid moving next to him if he moves out first. Or send him in a different direction than my others will go.

That's what I thought, but shouldn't it read more like this:

ELECTRIC SKIN 12
If any figure moves adjacent to Electro, you must roll the 20-sided die. If you roll 12 or higher, the affected figure receives one wound. When a figure receives a wound from Electric Skin 12, you may roll again for Electric Skin 12. You may continue rolling for Electric Skin 12 until the figure is destroyed or you do not roll 12 or higher. Figures may be initially targeted only as they move adjacent to Electro. Figures with the Electrically Charged special power are not affected by Electric Skin 12.

For pasting:

Yeah, though a fun thing to do, is using a temporary unit to move opponent's figures in and out of Electric Skin.

Only "one additional time" wording stops you from reusing powers like this. We decided the text you had there wasn't necessary here.

[Zettian Juggernaut]

This should have the power name numbers removed from the text, 'cause we don't put numbers like that in text:

[johnny139]

Yup, that seems right.

[IAmBatman]

Works for me.

[Karat]

I'm good with it.

[A3n]

Yeah that was Griffin legacy. He always wanted to include the numbers in the text. I think I got tired of saying it wasn't how official did it. So yeah I'm all for this change.

[SirGalahad]

Yeppers

[Viegon]

I definitely agree with removing the numbers from the power text. While we're at it, would anyone object to tightening up the wording a little?

ELECTRIC SKIN 12
If any figure moves adjacent to Electro, you must roll the 20-sided die. If you roll 12 or higher, that affected figure receives one wound. When a figure receives a wound from Electric Skin, and you may roll again for Electric Skin. Figures may be initially targeted only as they move adjacent to Electro.

[IAmBatman]

I like keeping "the affected" but I'm down with the other change. "That" figure is a bit more open to misinterpretation than I think we need.
