BOECV Entangle, Teleportation, & the FAQ

[SteveZilla]

I've found a contradiction in the Powers FAQ w/ regards to BOECV entangles & Teleportation. The two Q&As are quoted below:

 

Q: Can a character use Teleportation to escape a BOECV Entangle?

 

A: A BOECV Entangle would not prevent Teleportation (unless the Teleportation required some sort of physical movement, like Gestures, which the Entangle prevents). However, the victim remains Entangled when he appears in his new location.

 

 

Q: Can a character escape a "Mental Paralysis" Entangle via Desolidification or Teleportation?

 

A: Yes to Teleporation; no to Desolidification. Applying the Cannot Be Escaped With Teleportation (+1/4) Advantage to a Mental Paralysis would keep the victim from Teleporting out of it.

 

 

Which is correct about using Teleportation to escape a BOECV Entangle?

Hmmm, good catch.

 

For the sake of internal consistency, the first answer is the correct one. The second answer can simply be rewritten to say “no.”

The POWERS Rules FAQ has been edited to reflect the correct answer.
