A few questions

[Neato-Magneto]

Hello, I was just wondering if I could get some help on two rules

First, plasticity


If a character with plasticity is in base contact with an opposing figure with plasticity, what are the rolls needed to break away?

and Mind control


If you successfully mind control a character, does the action you give the mind controlled character count towards your total? I used to be sure that it was yes, but the recent FAQ had a confusing example.



thanks.

I know that number 2 is No. The action is considered a continuation of the MC attack. At one point, the action was considered a second action, and took one activation to do, but they changed that to make MC, well, useful again.

I beleive that 2 Plasticity characters in adjacent squares negate each other, leaving them both needing a 4, 5, 6 to break away, but I cannot remember were I saw that and way well just be hallucinating again... :)

1, 2, or 3, you fail... 4, 5, or 6 you breakaway. It's like they were two regular figures trying to breakaway.

No, his token comes from his pool, but it doesn't count against his total either. Your MC'er gets a token for the MC action which comes from your total though.

Ok, thanks a lot.

That does make mind control so much more useful. I was having to roll leadership with professor X just to do anything...
