•(Players Guide, 2014): When a Special Power is used to counter all powers on a character, it causes new powers to appear on the dial to also be countered, as the character’s dial changes.

•(Players Guide, 2014): If a countered power no longer shows on the dial, but then returns to the dial before the beginning of the Outwitting player’s next turn, the power is still countered.

•One use of Outwit will counter all aspects of a character’s Improved Movement or Improved Targeting; the combat ability is Improved Movement (or Improved Targeting), not the little colored squares and symbols that follow afterwards.  You do not need to/can’t counter each little colored square and squiggle in an Improved Movement/Targeting description.
