Quick question: A hero has a negative mod and uses a Precise Strike, whose description is “Attack using [power/quality]. Ignore all penalties on this Attack, ignore any Defend actions, and it cannot be affected by Reactions.”
From here, there are two possible interpretations:
- The negative mod is applied to the roll, but as is ignored it doesn’t affect it, so the negative mod is spent.
- The negative mod is not applied to the roll, because is ignored, so it is not spent and will remain with the hero until he chooses a different action and can be applied (or ignored)
I’m guessing the correct interpretation would be 2, but there was some debate at my table. What would be the correct answer?
