UND007 Grim Reaper, UND016 Death Trait and "Lost" Powers





Question about the HARBINGER OF DEATH trait. I'm looking for clarification on whether powers can be "lost" when this trait affects opponents. I say yes, and want to verify that the two scenarios below are correct.



Scenario #1: If the effect is triggered against a character with Super Strength on their current click who is currently holding a heavy object, when that character takes the initial 1 point of unavoidable damage and turns their dial, if that new click does not have Super Strength, that character has now "lost" Super Strength and drops the heavy object in it's current square. Then if that character is not KO'd, it immediately heals 1 click and regains Super Strength. That affected character must now make a move action to pick up that object again in order to use it in a attack. Scenario #2: If the effect is triggered against a character with Outwit(or some other power with an active duration) and that power was used to Outwit something, when that character takes the initial 1 point of unavoidable damage and turns their dial, if that new click does not have Outwit, that character has "lost" Outwit and its duration expires immediately and the power that was Outwitted can be used again. Then if that character is not KO'd, it immediately heals 1 click and regains Outwit. According to the most recent Rules revised on 8.25.2017: [...][P]owers are also considered lost if they are no longer displayed on the combat dial after the dial has been clicked. (Page 29) Also, in regards to "lost" powers that have a duration: When an effect with a duration is “lost,” the duration “expires” immediately and so the effect ends immediately. (Page 29) It seems like there is an added benefit to using this trait against pieces that just have powers like Super Strength, Outwit, Smoke Cloud, etc... in the top of their dial but lose them later. Smack these pieces for 1 damage with a monster, then they would have to have the power on at least 3 continuous clicks or the duration expires. Question about thetrait.
