New starter changes

Wizkids has announced a few changes to figures and the PAC that will take effect from May, when the new DC starter set is released. The key changes are:

"The PAC now includes Standard Powers, the Movement Icons rules, the Combat Abilities rules and the DC Team Abilities."

This sounds great - just hope the PAC includes the DC AND Marvel team abilities.

"Wizkids has added a new number to the clix dial that indicates the click you are on, with click number one being the figure’s starting click. Now if you need to pick up your figure for any reason, you can easily see which click your fig is on, in case you need to revert to that click."

File this one under unnecessary.

"If a character has a trait, it will now have a ‘trait star’ icon (the one you find on the character card) printed on the figure base, to the left of the combat icons."

Fair enough - should be useful to a dozy bugger like me.
