PERPLEX. By behaving in a misleading or unpredictable fashion, this character makes opponents less effective in combat. (Optional) Once during your turn, this character may add or subtract 1 to any Combat Value (including Range) for any character in the game. This effect lasts for the duration of your turn. This character must be within 10 squares of the affected character and have a clear line of fire to that character. If the perplexed character is damaged or healed during the turn, the effect ends.
Perplex does not require an action. Perplex can be used if the figure has 0, 1 or 2 action tokens, and can be used even after the figure has been given an action for the turn.
Perplex requires a clear line of fire. It is not, however, a ranged attack action and therefore is not subject to restrictions specific to ranged attacks. Exception: when used against a soaring figure, Perplex is subject to the same half range reduction as a ranged attack (15)
A figure with Perplex may use that power on itself.
Perplex must be used either before or after another action. You cannot use Perplex in the middle of another action.
Perplex can be stacked.
Perplex can affect range, attack, defense, speed, and damage values.
-side not - I personally dislike when ppl copy a chunk of text and type in a sentence after the long quote...
My point? This is reference to the X-crement thread, though somewhat indirectly, that everyone has perplex. My main issue with Perplex is - Makes opponents less effective - and the - may be stacked -.
The principle behind Perp in Xplosion (I'll call it perp+ because few ppl use it on an opponents) is to represent in some manner the IQ of the individuals, deception, mental manipulation etc etc. This is all well. However, this power affects the # printed on the dial, then why would they have it stack? A simple removing of the stacking ability would remove this fuss no?
