Is this one just wording updates?

[japes]

Does "inflict 2+ wounds" mean two or more or more than two?

[Ronin]

"Two or more". And yeah, no mechanical changes here, just wording changes and the second power becoming Electric damage.

Good that's what I hoped it meant but suddenly realized I didn't know if you guys did something weird.

[IAmBatman]

Hmm if you hit a figure with Electrical Weakness one time and it takes its one additional wound, have you inflicted 2+ wounds on it?

Wondering if there is alternate wording to clarify that’s not what’s being restricted.

[Ronin]

Ah right, true. Probably needs to limit the choosing and not the wounding for that reason. Unfortunate, I suspect that's clunkier.

[IAmBatman]

Yeah, I came to the same conclusion and decided it was more than I wanted to tackle phone posting

[Ronin]

Updated WLB language.

[IAmBatman]

Looks good. I think we can get away with replacing the last “that figure” with “it.”

[Ronin]

Fair enough!

[Yodaking]

With many figures able to move after rolling defense dice, is the second part of the SA hit the figures adjacent to the first target at the start of the turn or after the figure may have moved?
