There is two issues:

1. An enemy effect suppresses the character with Con Artist, making them unable to benefit from CE's, even the opponents.
2. When the enemy commander is suppressed. So, if say, an ally's Advanced Battle Mediation is in effect, the enemy commander's CE is suppressed for everyone, even those with Con Artist.

There are 2 modes of Disruptive.

When it affects the commander. And when it affects the beneficiary. Advanced Battle Meditation affects the whole board, commanders and beneficiaries a like. So, the Con Artist characters would be affected as well. And I am not going to add more to the cluster that is Con Artist by ruling on the difference between enemy and allies CEs. So, a Con Artist being affected by Advanced Battle Meditation or Disruptive will be unable to benefit from any CE's, unless they have Disciplined Leader.

Unless you want to reopen Bombad Gungan with it's interactions and abilities that say they specify attacking an enemy.

i have another question. what if the Commander that is granting the effect has disciplined leader?

So in the quarter-final match of Rickey vs Daniel - they played it wrong?

Interactions get very complex these days. I don't know what I would have ruled were I the judge. I know when I heard about it - it just "felt" wrong. But so do many correct rulings.

Glad it wouldn't have changed things significantly

That's not the way I read what Sithborg said. I read it that Disruptive suppresses enemy CEs for enemy characters, and the CE doesn't work if either the commander or the beneficiary is being suppressed. My Disruptive suppresses you and yours suppresses me.

So my Con Artist does not benefit from the enemy CE if...

* My ABM is on, because I've suppressed the commander.
* Your ABM is on, because you've suppressed the beneficiary.
* My Disruptive is within range of your commander, because I've suppressed the commander.
* Your Disruptive is within range of my Con Artist, because you've suppressed the beneficiary.


But it would work under these circumstances (assuming none of the above are true)...

* My Disruptive is within range of my Con Artist. I don't suppress the CE for my own character.
* Your Disruptive is within range of your commander. You don't suppress the CE for your own character.

Based on this ruling (if I understand it correctly), I would propose the following for a more clear glossary entry, because I can't make sense of the ruling and the glossary entry as it stands.

Current glossary entry:
Enemy commander effects have no effect (on enemies and allies alike) within 6 squares of this character.

Characters within 6 squares cannot receive the benefits (or the penalties) of enemy commander effects until they move out of range. An enemy commander within 6 squares has its commander effect suppressed until it moves out of range. (It still counts as a commander.)

A character who starts its turn outside this range and whose speed is modified by a commander effect continues to move at that speed for the rest of its turn, even if it comes within 6 squares of this character. Conversely, a character that begins its turn within range cannot have its speed modified by an enemy commander effect for the rest of its turn, even if it moves farther than 6 squares from this character.

Proposed glossary (or FAQ I guess) entry:
Within 6 squares of this character, enemies may not provide or be affected by commander effects.

Enemies within 6 squares cannot receive the benefits (or the penalties) of any commander effects until they move out of range. An enemy commander within 6 squares has its commander effect suppressed until it moves out of range. (It still counts as a commander.)

A character who starts its turn outside this range and whose speed is modified by a commander effect continues to move at that speed for the rest of its turn, even if it comes within 6 squares of this character. Conversely, a character that begins its turn within range cannot have its speed modified by an enemy commander effect for the rest of its turn, even if it moves farther than 6 squares from this character.

le sigh

I just noticed that I'm going to have to issue an errata. Going to have to wait until I get to V5, though, as I already am going through all the Vsets and seeing if I need to tweak anything for a more unified rules set.

Before Jar-Jar

What is the current ruling?

But that doesn't make much sense...

To be honest, I prefer the other way better. I thought that it was much simpler, since there are only four checks necessary, and they are universal, meaning that they apply in all CE Suppression situations.

Of course, not everything in this game makes sense (e.g., Lightsaber). I'll follow whatever ruling Sithborg puts out. (What was the ruling, anyway?)
