Question

117 – I was wondering how attacking allies works based on the rule in the Next Evolution book versus the ‘you’ exception in the RRG. As an example, when a villain attacks a Morlock, if no one defends the attack, would I be able to play “payback” as Drax?

Answer

No. The Forced Interrupt on the Morlock changes the target of the attack from the player to the Morlock. Drax can’t play Payback in this situation.
