So, can this dude multiattack too because he's colossal? I can't find the new colossal rules.

Turn 4a:

1) "Let's give this blowhard the battle he seeks, but on our terms. Move!" MBA 5 flies to L-8, drops Ra's at K-8.

Free) "How does it feel to follow him into battle? I can't imagine what sort of craven would chase around on his heels, inflating his ego." Ra's outwits Sabretooth's superstrength, netting a DFD.

2) Merlyn sprints from behind one spot of cover to another (running start) to K-7.

3) Cassie Cain follows silently to O-7.

Opp) +1 token

PC) Case by case. (Though I will tell you that if you EE and only hit manbat I will NOT PC)

Nope, no Multi-Attack for Holocaust. He only has the Great Size and Colossal Stamina abilities which means he can see over, and be seen over smaller figures, ignores smaller figures for movement purposes, can make ranged combat attacks regardless of adjacency to opposing characters (including being able to shoot out of adjacency) and can act even if he's already got two tokens (taking a click of unavoidable damage when he does so)

Exiles: Turn 4

1) Finally realising his mistake, Holocaust comes to a sudden stop and turns around, charging back the way he came as he finally spots the enemy. "Despair flatscans, before the might of Holocaust and DIE!" Holocaust makes a running shot to G9-10, H9-10 and fires a double-target Energy Explosion aimed at the Man-Bat Assassin and Cassie! 10 atk. vs 16 def (Great Size lets him draw LOF over the hindering terrain). Need a 6 to hit Cassie and the Bat which will also get Ra's in the splash and a 9 to catch Merlyn as well (no hindering terrain bonus against EE splash). Roll is: (4,3) for a 7 and a hit on everyone but Merlyn! Ra's, the Man-Bat and Cassandra all takes a click. 1 SA to Holocaust who also takes 1 from the push.

As if to underscore his words, Holocaust levels his massive arm-cannon on his foes and unleashes a roaring blast of nuclear fire washing over the Demon and his followers who barely manage to avoid the brunt of the hellish blast though it still leaves most of them singed and scorched!

2) "Hey, if nothing else he's great at lighting stuff up. The guy with the weird goatee and the sword is our target right?" Nocturne narrows her eyes, points a finger at the now illuminated Demon and unleashes an unpredictable Hexbolt! Nocturne shoots Ra's. 9 atk. vs 15 (+1 from terrain) def. Needs a 7. Roll is: (1,2) for a 3 and a total miss!

Though clearly surprised by the erratic attack from the blueskinned girl, Ra's is far too wily and experienced to be caught flat-footed and easily sidesteps the chaos-blast

3) "Don't strain yourself kiddo, I got this!" Creed snarls as he hurls himself straight into the thick of the fight. Sabretooth leaps to L6

Free) Holocaust laughs as he drinks deep from the pain and agony caused by his seething fires, replenishing himself on stolen life-force. Roll is: 3 and he gets it! Holocaust heals a click and is right back where he started!

Note that you have the option of PC'ing Holocaust life-steal roll as well, but either way turn ends here so if you want someone to take a token and try to deny him the heal, just make the new roll when you start your turn

Turn edited and finished. You're up!

Turn 5a:

No time for story posting for this post (and not just because this turn went horribly for me ).

Free) Ra's outwits invuln on Holocaust.

1) Ra's shoots Holocaust, 9 vs 17--miss with a 3, Batgirl PCs it to a 5. Miss. Push to Batgirl.

2) MBA 5 breaks away for a charge--fails. MBA 4 PCs that to a success! MBA 5 charges to H-8 on Holocaust and misses, getting that 6 Ra's needed. Push.

3) MBA 4 flies to M-7, drops LA at L-7. Push.

No stats and no PC left. Poop.

Wow... yeah the dice were *not* kind to you on that turn, ouch!

Exiles: Turn 5

1) Brushing aside the charging Man-Bat assassin like a normal man would a buzzing gnat, Holocaust keeps his focus on the chaotic sprawl of combat and unleashes another apocalyptic blast of infernal flames straight into the middle of the fight, completely heedless of Creed's presence! Holocaust takes advantage of his Great Size and Colossal Stamina both to push again and fire out of adjacency, targeting Ra's and the League Assassin both with Energy Explosion. 10 atk. vs 15 (+1 from terrain) and 16 def. Needs a 6 for both which will also hit the Man-Bat, an 8 will get Creed as well and a 9 hits Merlyn. Roll is: (2,4) for a 6 and just barely a hit on Ra's the League Assassin and the Man-Bat! Ra's and the Assassin takes 2 each and the Man-Bat takes 1. 1 SA for Holocaust who takes another click from the push and then immediately heals it again as Recharge kicks in, regardless of my feelings on the subject!

The brutal laughter of Holocaust *almost* drowns out the roar of the nuclear firestorm that the genocidal mutant releases with absolutely no concern for his team-mates whatsoever, seeking only to reduce everything in his path to ashes and feed on the remains "BURN flatscans! Burn in the flames of HOLOCAUST!"

2) Emerging out of the firestorm, scorched, singed and howling like a feral beast, Sabretooth leaps at the League Assassin like a pre-historic predator right out of mankind's most primitive ancestral memory! Sabretooth punches the Assassin. 9 atk. vs 16 def. Needs a 7. Roll is: (6,4) for a 10 and a hit! (Aww... should've gone for Merlyn then) The Assassin takes 4 and is KO'ed! 1 SA, 1 KO and 1 from the push for Sabretooth.

There's a brief, half-choked scream, the sounds of bones snapping and tendons tearing and a spray of blood that washes over everyone in the fight as the Creed quite literally tears the assassin apart, being used as target practice by Holocaust obviously not doing any wonders for his temper!

Nocturne blinks, staggered at the carnage for a moment and tries very hard not to get sick...

Free) Holocaust once again drinks deep from the escaping life-force, feeding his ever-burning, monstrous hunger! Roll is: 1 and no dice this time.

Wouldn't Holocaust get a heal from Recharge, or are you skipping that to get on Poison?

Huh? Would you believe that? I hadn't actually noticed Recharge doesn't trigger until *after* the action is resolved which means it comes after the click of pushing damage (as pushing damage happens *as the action resolves*).

For some reason I thought the Recharge heal happened during the action, as soon the requisite damage was dealt but since this isn't the case you're right, Holocaust actually *can* use Recharge to heal back from a push on his top click.

EDIT: And as I just realised Recharge doesn't actually give me the option *not* to use it, it means that even though I actually wanted to get to Poison, I don't have a choice, I have to heal Holocaust one from Recharge... oh well

I thought all feats are optional. Did that change?

Yeah, they got rid of the old "All Feats are optional unless they're not" problem by just getting rid of the whole "Optional" concept to begin with.

Feats now work just like powers and abilities in the sense that you don't *have* to take the actions needed to activate them, but if they just have a set trigger (and don't include the words "may") then they'll just go off whenever that trigger is met, regardless of whether you want it to or not.

For instance, Haymaker requires a specific close-combat action to use, so unless you actually give your character the action to activate Haymaker, you don't have to use it.

Recharge, however, simply kicks in whenever you deal 2 or more damage to opposing characters with Energy Explosion. There's no "may" about it, and it doesn't take a separate, specific action to activate (it just tags along with the Ranged Combat action to use EE) so you're stuck with the healing whether you want it or not

Let's go for that elusive AST

Turn 6a:

1) Merlyn punches Sabretooth, 10 vs 19--miss with a 3!

2) Change of plans now, Ra's lunges to J-10 CCE on Nocturne, 8 vs 15--roll is another 5 (yeesh) so I guess I'll burn both Opp tokens to make it a hit for 4 clicks! WP push. Maybe Nocturne will crit miss so I can get a KO

I'm afraid I have to disappoint you there... even if Nocturne *had* rolled a crit miss, it wouldn't have dropped her

Exiles: Turn 6

1) "You are all DUST beneath my heel! Dust that I will scatter to the winds!" Holocaust roars as he rampages straight into the middle of the fight, hissing streamers of radioactive flames lashing out around him in all directions. Holocaust uses his special power and his Colossal Stamina to break away without rolling, making a running shot to L8-9, M8-9, aiming at both Man-Bats. 10 atk. vs 15 and 15 (+1 from terrain) def. Needs a 6 for both and 5 for just one. Roll is: (3,3) for a 6 and a hit! He'll give 1 to number 5 and knock him back to G8 and 2 to number 4 and knock him back to O5. 1 SA and 1 from the push to Holocaust.

Fleeing backwards from the unstoppable, burning juggernaut and the agonising sting of his hungry flames the League scatters in all directions as he comes barrelling through, leaving just Merlyn alone between Holocaust and Sabretooth!

2) Reeling from the Demon's viciously struck and expertly placed sword-blow, Nocturne realises she's in over her head and tries to go for the gold, leaping straight *into* the Demon! Nocturne tries to Mind Control Ra's. 8 atk. vs 14 def. Needs a 6. Roll is: (4,2) for a 6 and just barely a hit (What's with all the 6's?). His body suddenly under the joy-riding Nocturne's control, the Demon's Head staggers straight in to join Merlyn between a hungry Holocaust and a frenzying Sabretooth before quickly leaping back out to safety "He's ALL yours boys!" 1 SA to Nocturne

Free) Ra's moves to M7

Free) Holocaust basks in the glow of the life-force all around him, soaking it in as he savours the taste. Roll is: 3 and he heals again (C'mon... just let me get to poison already )

Nope, Traits aren't optional either. Unless it requires a separate action to activate or includes the word "may" there's no choice involved. As long as he's hurting people, Holocaust *will* try to heal

Oh, and I certainly wasn't complaining about the many sixes, just noticed that Holocaust seemed to keep rolling them.

Exiles: Turn 7

1) Holocaust laughs a hollow, inhuman laugh as he tracks both Man-Bats flying towards him to the aid of their leader. Holocaust shoots both Man-Bats (drawing his LOF from M8, fully abusing his Colossal advantages). 10 atk. vs 15 and 14 def. Need a 5 for both and a 4 for one of them alone. Roll is: (4,6) for a 10 and a hit! He'll give 2 to one and 1 to the other for the double KO! 1 SA, 2 KO's and 1 from the push to Holocaust!

With incredible speed and uncanny aim for something so large, Holocaust brings his arm cannon to bear and blasts both Man-Bats out of the air with a single, devastating blast, reducing both beastmen to nothing more than charred skeletons that crumble into ash!

"Rejoice flatscans, you were blessed enough to receive death at the hands of Holocaust!"

2) "Grr... just shut up for one stinking second and FINISH. THE. JOB!" Creed snarls as he lashes out at Ra's (not using blades). 8 atk. vs 14 def. Needs a 6. Roll is: (5,5) for a 10 and a hit! Ra's takes 2 and is knocked back against the blocking terrain in N8 for one more. 1 SA for Sabretooth.

Creed's claws savages the frame of the Ra's, but despite his grievous wounds, the Demon stoically refuses to fall "Damn... tougher'n you look ol' man, gotta give you that!"

free) Holocaust continues to feast and splurge on the essence of the fallen. Roll is: 2 and a failure!
