View Full Version : Hogun's HOGUN THE GRIM Special Power question

Hogun's HOGUN THE GRIM Special Power reads:
HOGUN THE GRIM: Whenever Hogun is given an action, for that action modify his damage value by +1 for each action token on him at the beginning of that action.
I realize that characters can't be given an action when they have two action tokens on them (unless they have a special rule or team ability that allows them to do so like the Masters of Evil TA and certain colossal figures), but if Hogun cannot push again when he has two tokens, why is his Special Power worded the way it is?

If he had the Masters of Evil TA, it would make sense because he can get +1 damage the first time he pushes, and +2 the second time (and so on as long as he doesn't rest).

So why does the power not read, "Whenever Hogun is given an action, for that action modify his damage value by +1 if he already has an action token on him." ?

I also realize that you can put Mercenary on him and put him Adjacent to a character with the MoE TA to give him +2 damage when he pushes twice in a row...but is that REALLY why his power is worded that way?

It may also be worded that way, aside from Mercenary'ing to MoE, to allow for possible future changes.

Compel is another way for Hogun to attack when marked with two tokens.

If I Mind Control my opponents Hogun with two tokens on him, I'd prefer to get the full damage bonus from his attack, thank you very much ;)

Wouldn't Warbound allow him to increase his damage, then rest?

Warboudn would not let Hogun take an action when marked with two tokens.

I love wordings that encourage creative thinking to get the most out of...

ALSO, it comes into effect if he's mind controlled with two tokens

And if you Mind Control him you get that sweet +2 to damage.
