OMG!!!!! You really don't get what I am saying! I'm not saying that you are wrong. I'm saying that effect is simply not clear. It really can be read in 2 ways!!! All I'm asking for is a clarification in the FAQ's!! Not the pretend one you keep refering too. If this was ruled on years ago? Then why isn't it in the FAQ's??!!!

IT IS NOT UNDER DURGE IN THE FAQ'S!!! IT SAYS NOTHING ABOUT WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT THERE!!!!

Darth Percocet makes a great point. If the follower only gets momentum AFTER it ends its move how can it use momentum? Momentum requires you to move at least 1 square before being able to use it. If I can't move anymore momentum becomes pointless.


The reason I thought they worded this commander effect the way they did was to keep the effect completly contain within 6 squares of the commander. Basically making it so characters couldn't maintain the momentum ability outside of the 6 square radius. I don't understand how or why it got interpreted in the way everyone is saying.

The possibilty of combining abilities like galloping attack and strafe with this commander effect hasn't been possible until General Skywalker. The only thing players did was run up to enemies, stop, and use momentum to attack them. How could anyone have possibly made a ruling on this before it was even possible??

Not all rulings are in the FAQ. You can keep up this discussion, or you can ask about similar situations with Durge and Tsavong Lah. You are applying a sense of future tracking that this game really doesn't use. They do not get Momentum until after they fufill the requirements, like all CE's.

Also, Percocet confused move with turn, so his point is invalid.

I have to agree with Bill, you must meet all requirements to use a Commander Effect. Mas will bypass the range limit however you still only receive it when you end your move.
I also don't see why you MUST USE ALL CAPS! THERE IS NO REASON TO GET ANGRY WHEN PEOPLE ARE JUST TRYING TO HELP!

Sorry about the all caps in my post. It's like 1 against 20 over here! Lol! I was just trying to prove my point. I am fine with agreeing to disagree and I will play the game the way you guys interpret the rule.

Not really an issue, because Momentum require you to move, and once you start moving again, the CE is lost until you end your move again. The wording works for Momentum, just not anyother ability that I can think of.

This one is in the FAQ.

Durge

Q: How long does Durge's commander effect last?

A: Momentum gained from Durge lasts only until the end of the turn in which the character moved. Of course, it could end its move within 6 squares of Durge on its subsequent turns, and gain Momentum again during those turns.

As Scott stated, even if you read it your way, it's a moot point. The moment he moves again (on a subsequent turn) he no longer has the CE anyway, because he hasn't ended that movement. And momentum itself requires moving at least one space so the two are impossible to have together.

Oh and for those that think this is a new interaction, it's not. Durge allowed it with the Ewok Hanglider and I believe there was another before that that I can't think of at the moment. You always had to end your move to gain the CE, and it always ends at the end of that character's turn.

You need to take a second to recognize why others would post certain things. Sithborg and I have one basic motivation (there are more, but this is primary in this case) - to make sure everyone understands the rule, what the rule is, and where it comes from. Nothing more, nothing less. It has absolutely nothing to do with you at all. You made a comment that seems to have been edited out that I was responding to. Something along the lines of there is no proof or something like that.

Either way, I am here to make sure people know what they are talking about. I don't care what your opinion is, or Sithborg's, or mine for that matter on how it should work. That isn't my motivation. So before you throw another tantrum and leave the room storming out as if I have mistreated you, I expect an apology for your contributing to a very negative forum attitude. And further, for trying to make me look like a bad guy when you have no clue how to put yourself in other people's shoes even for minute.

This isn't a debate on how it should or should not work, it was a debate on how it does work. At least for me, that is the only reason to respond to it at all.

As for the squad, it needs a little refinement considering the OP wasn't aware of how the rule works when he made it, but it isn't a bad start. General Anakin and Yodabuck should be a pretty decent combo, even given that it has less power than he originally thought.

Maybe what the problem is, is that people are thinking that when you attack while galloping you stop your move to attack, and then you start to move again. I can see how someone can be confused if they are thinking this. Yes? No?

I can see where the confusion comes from, yes. However, a close read of Galloping attack should get rid of the confusion. It does state that the attacks happen while the character is moving.

Galloping Attack (As this character moves, it can attack each adjacent enemy, +4 Attack; this turn, this character cannot attack any enemy twice and cannot move directly back into a space it has just left. This ability is usable only on this character's turn.)
