halfnhalf Posted October 20, 2022 Posted October 20, 2022 Elemental Empowerment reads: "Enemy characters performing a Shake action while within 3 range of this character may not remove the Incinerate, Slow, or Stun special conditions." Question: Does Crystal's elemental empowerment superpower activate after a character uses shake as one of their actions or does it prevent them from shaking in the first place? The trigger seems to require the enemy character to perform a shake action already, so it seems as though the enemy character may still perform a shake but they cannot remove the Incinerate, slow, or stun conditions. Therefore, which circumstance applies here in the following scenario? (credit to Thoras): Scenario 1: - Enemy character performs shake (spending action) - Choses to remove incinerate/slow/stun - Elemental Empowerment triggers: preventing opponent from shaking those conditions. - Enemy character may still remove another special condition because they performed shake. Scenario 2: - Enemy performs shake AND selects incinerate, slow, or stun (costing one action) - Elemental empowerment triggers and enemy character cannot select incinerate, slow, or stun - No action is lost because its all part of the same action.
