HeroClix – Character Size Errata

Posted by on Nov 3, 2015 in Blog, New!! |

On the eve of WizKids latest expansion Superman / Wonder Woman being released, they have issued a rule change regarding character sizes/abilities.  The portion that was released today is apparently part of new rulebook that is in the works, “As we work towards completing a new rulebook and PAC…”.

Today’s release is especially releveant as each brick of Superman / Wonder Woman is coming with a Super Booster, that contains one colossal character.  (I drafted The Atom during pre-release, he is awesome.)

The changes are causing a bit of a stir with the online community.  Some are applauding, and others…well…not so much.

The changes that will have the greatest impact, as I see it are:

Breakaway: Modify your break away roll by +1 when breaking away from smaller characters.

Knockback: You can’t be knocked back by smaller characters.

Giant Reach: Colossal sized characters now have possess the giant reach ability with a range of 3.  (This would have possibly changed the outcome of one of my matches last week…grumble grumble).

Overall, I think these are positive changes.  The wording has less abiguity to it than we have become accustomed to; I hope this contiues as WizKids finishes up the new rulebook and PAC.

There are other changes as well, to read the entire article click HERE.
