into the air it can be counted as a jump by
spending 1MC. If you do not spend the MC you
take the full damage then you need to make an
agility roll or be knocked down. If you survive
the fall and are not knocked down you can
continue your move. If you are knocked down
you can continue your movement but at half

Move because it's like the plant move her

knocked down? And is Knocked down

stop the miniature from doing anything so
long as the cop see them? Or Can the
miniature still attack? Can he use his base
movement still and no extra MC? And what
happens if the "Stopped" model uses charge?
Does it cancel it?

A: Stop! Only prevents you from using whilst

the model with the rule can see you. If you
spent the to move further or activate the
charge before the model with stop can see you
are not affected. However if you wanted to
cross difficult ground or climb you would
need to spend MC this could be prevented if
you had them moved into the Cops

Q:With Sharp you can be reroll all Damage

dices rolled( you can reroll only one if you
want..), you must accept the second roll.

Q; Weapon that have Mechanic such as

Nightwing's baton that always wounds on a
3+. What happens when he tries to wound
Killer Croc. He has Tough Skin so to wound
him needs 1 higher. What rule takes effect, is
it still 3+ to wound or does Croc make it a 4+
A: The Mechanic weapon trait states that you
always wound on a 3+ regardless of the users
strength. Tough Skin says you -1 from a dice
roll to wound this character. Therefore if you
roll a 3 to wound Croc you would -1 from that
roll making it a 2. In this case you did not roll
a 3 to wound and thus would cause no
damage. Basically you need 4's.

Q: Is the max a character can have in a trait
the value listed or equal to their Willpower?
A: Dice can only be allocated to traits up to
their max. Such as Batman has a Attack Value
of 5, so he can have a max of 5 dice in that
pool.

Q: When Arkham Bane uses a Titan Dose, it
increases all his trait values. His base attack is
6. Would it go to 7? Meaning he can now put 7
attack dice in that trait. And what about
blocking him? You can't roll a 7 so is he
unblock able when he is on Titan?
A: When on Titan all his stats increase by 1
including his willpower & attack. So yes he is
attack 7! You always block on a 6 so his
attacks can still be blocked. Also he is harder
to hit as his defense increases to 4.

A: Collateral Damage dice isn't rerolled.

wounds that do 2 bleeding each Does gordon
take 3 damage (4-1 for kevlar) or 2 damage (
2 x (2-1))
