carrying mates & objects

[kryptonboy]

I know a person with SS and flying can carry a teammate and an object, but can that flying SS character also drop both at the end of their movement?

For example: Booster Gold carries an object and Black Panther (with stealth) At the ned of his movement can Booster set down the object and then Black panther on the object for stealth purposes?

Thanks

The figure must be dropped at the end of movement.

The object cannot be dropped voluntarily....

The only way to 'get rid' of an object once it is picked up is to use it in an attack or have Super Strength Outwitted or removed due to damage.

Although the title sums up my feelings, you're saying if a guy picks something up, he doesn't know how to put it down without smashing someone with it?! Kind of taking the dumb jock thing to a whole new level huh?

[Tsannik]

That is exactly what I am saying. The Super Strength power is not optional. Therefore, it cannot be voluntarily turned off.

Hmmm... maybe that was to stop abusive strategies like... I dunno... picking up an object and BP, then putting him down on top of an object? :)

Remember, this is a game. Not every rule has to/can make sense in real life or comics terms. Some concessions need to be made in order to preserve the integrity of gameplay.

Just some thoughts-

Assuming I also have charge, can i smash someone with the object, turning it into rubble and then place my Black Panther down on the rubble?

[Tsannik]

When an object is used in an attack (whether successful or not), that object is destroyed (removed from the game).

Additionally, BP would have to be set down before the attack occurs. The carried character is set down at the end of the move portion of Charge, not the entire action.

This stops some nastiness that could occur with the Dumpster.

Oh, yeah... in that specific case....

Yeah BP set down first, Dumpster used in attack...


Dumpster then has to be placed in an adjacent clear square (i.e. no other terrain features, figures or object can occupy this square)

[Earnan]

Sorry, Tsannik... didn't mean to bring up specific case examples, I know how annoying that can be.... just wanted to point out the timing of when BP would get set down. It could be important, somehow, somewhere. :)

Nada problem.... I also wanted to clear up the inevitable 'can I put the dumpster on BP after the attack'.....question...
