Yep I am definitely seeing it also. Another strange thing is that when it opens in a new tab, that tab name is C3G_BlackPanther_.psd

So something screwy is happening there.

I'll check it out in a few minutes. I may have had to update that card at some point since the _.psd is typically my naming format so perhaps I screwed something up long ago. I don't remember ever updating here but that's definately my filename tag.

OK, I have no clue what A3n is talking about. I could not recreate the Black Panther tag in any browser I have. I also couldn't see anything wrong on my end but just in case I recreated the card and made a new PDF. Let me know if this fixes your issues.

well it's freaking weird. The text is good now & the tab name is no longer C3G_BlackPanther_.psd. However the tab name is _C3G Card Template.psd.


Weird.

Weird.

Ok so it’s somehow pulling that name when I print the pdf from photoshop. Odd I don’t get that on my end but it’s definitely a thing I see. I recreated this card and printer it before I saved the psd so at the time the psd file name was the template. Interesting. So apparently the last time Magneto was made Black Panther psd must have been used as the template. Do any of the other PDFs show a psd file name on the tab?

At least the blurry issue was corrected.

As i said freaking weird. This is the first time i have ever noticed it. So the PDFing app must embed the name in the meta data and some browsers must read that to use for the tab name. Hmmm

Because it states "when he uses it, he may use it one additional time", it doesn't say "when he uses it he may attempt to use it one additional time." [*]A: He may (not required) use the entire special power one additional time, which involves rolling the d20 for the chance to throw and then rolling the d20 for damage from throwing. Anytime a figure "uses" a power, it is "attempting to use" that power; however, there's no guarantee that the use will be successful.

This seems misleading because there are in fact some powers that are guaranteed to be successful. Honestly this whole thing reads confusingly. This is probably a better FAQ:

Q: When using Magnetic Throw for the second time in a turn, if you succeeded on the 20-sided die roll during the first use of the power, do you have to roll again?[*]A: Using a power an additional time is a separate use of the power and does not automatically succeed or fail based on previous attempts in the turn.

But I'm honestly not even sure this FAQ is needed.

Agreed on both counts. Original is confusing and FAQ not needed.

I could see its usefulness but the only real distinction needed is that you just use the whole power an additional time, including the roll. I'm fine either way on it, though (keeping or cutting). I don't think the conclusion is controversial at all.
