stealth question

[allchimp]

what exactly does stealth do? Just wondering.

[Tsannik]

Stealth prevents Line of Fire to be drawn to the figure with Stealth when Line of Fire crosses Hindering terrain.

It is one of the best Powers out there. IMHO. Oh, I'll get arguments galore on that opinion!

But assuming your opponent isn't playing E Ultron and R Steel your Stealthed clix is protected from pretty much EVERYTHING except BtB combat. Stealth means he can't be targeted by anything LOS (Line of Sight). This includes Outwit.

[Ro-gan]

Assuming the Stealthed clix is in or LOS crosses Hindering Terrain.

Forgot that IMPORTANT piece of info. Thanks Tsannick for mentioning it.

Although it is an Optional power, so you can turn it off for selective uses of Perplex and/or Probability Control...

Emperor Joker - I am not sure if I understand your statement - I thought that Out wit will work if they are BtB (Base to Base) - but Perplex? How? Can you elaborate on this please? Maybe an example?

[HeroComplex]

When a power is referred to as optional, it means that the controlling player may turn off that power voluntarily. It is not a reference to Outwit. He is saying that if you want to Perplex your own figure with Stealth, you may turn off Stealth for the turn so that you will have LOF to him.

If a figure with Stealth is in hindering terrain, by the by, he may never be Outwitted unless he has voluntarily turned off Stealth. Even an adjacent Outwitter cannot establish LOF to him, and so even an adjacent Outwitter cannot Outwit him.

My sentiments exactly. ;)
