Basic Action Super Heroes!

Is a SLAM attack technically by the rules a "Hand-to-Hand" attack - For purpose of Domino Effect?

In reference to the minion "Domino Effect" the rules state you must take a minion down with a single "Hand-to-Hand" attack.

A Slam attack does not use Agility in the attack to hit, but rather uses Brawn + Momentum without needing to hit (if the opponent Holds Ground) or using Brawn + Momentum vs the opponent's
Agility (or Acrobatics).

I vote yes.

Yes, but remember only when using Super Running can you move between Domino Effect attacks. That is one of the benefits of Super Running.

However also see "Bowling for Minions" as Slam specifically allows you to go through multiple minions as well.

What about using STRETCHING to "reach" between minions for a farther away Domino Effect? Is that okay?

(can you tell I've made a stretchy hero to play in my game-gang's new campaign!?? hehe)

Hey kev. Here's a key quote from Domino Effect (pg71):

If a character successfully takes down a minion with a hand to hand attack (not a burst attack), s/he may attack another minion within reach.

The Stretching power just increases that reach to 2-10 squares.
