FTL speedblitz is a physical attack. It can be defended from in a variety of ways (comparable speed, great durability, anyone with intangibility powers), and these are powers that are in no way unusual. People to be able to bring large physical strength and speed to survive isn't unreasonable. The expectation that people should need plant-manipulating powers to survive IS unreasonable, there is unlikely to even be such a character besides the one inducing the growth to begin with.

your point proves it thoughsince so few people move at FTL, it inherently becomes undefensible
the important point being that, KK said my "grow spores" move would be illegal. Technically, it is defensible, such as, if a character had non-human anatomy or some other form of plant control, but since it is essentially indefensible, it is illegal
FTL attacks are, pretty much, indefensible
though, speedsters should be allowed to use them to avoid attacks, trasnport people, etc
If FTL attacks are allowed, I should be allowed to thin people's blood
Ultra Boy, Makkari, Lightray, Flash (though he's not really Low Herald anymore), Bizarro Superman, and Apollo (I think) to name a few.
Kandy: I'm pretty sure I can assume the answer to this, but, say I draft someone who has the magical power of looking into the future, or if I took Bastion from the most recent X-Froce, who has technology that connects him to the future, can I use this during prep? Obviously I wouldn't be allowed to see my oponents plan or anything, but as an intelligence gathering thing?
EDIT: or, if I select a character who can summon, say, a dragon or whatever, is this allowed? Would the summoned creatures have to be within the low-herald limit?
Future sight during prep is not allowed, because it violates the rule that characters must not know their opponents during prep.
Summoning dragons is fine. There is no technical limit on how powerful the summons/constructs can be, but the ability to easily create over-the-caps constructs would be a factor in deciding if the character himself should be accepted as low herald.
Draft 2:
Begins Sunday
Begins noon pacific time
Here's my plan:
You will not find out who drafted who during drafts. When the first round starts, you will be paired to a random opponent, and prep blind. After that, the teams will be established and in future rounds you will prep w/ knowledge of the opponent.
No redrafts, unless one of your characters was ruled illegal after being drafted.

What about tradings or someone wants to drop a certain character?
