HeroClix Rules: What is the rule of 3?

Hey all,

Am new to this forum and to the HeroClix game. Can someone explain what the Rule of Three means exactly?

thanks

The Rule of 3 states tha no Combat Value (i.e. attack,defense,damage,speed,range) can not be modified by more than 3 points.

So for example a character with a damage of 4, the damage cannot be reduced to below 1 or increased to above 7.

Another example is if you had 4 figures with perplex, you couldnt use all of them to increase your damage, since you can only increase your damage by 3 (but you could still increase your damage by 3, and your range by 1 with the 4th perplexer since range is a different combat value)
