OK so a friend of mine and I were playing the other night and we were in mutual destruction and I had initiative but had no enhancements left to play, does init. go back to my friend so he can prevent his evil character from being discarded by adding another enhancement? Or how should that play out?

We ended up playing it that he could go ahead and play an enhancement to save his evil char.,  but I would like some clarity on the subject.

Any info. would be most appreciated. Thanks!

Actually it passes back and forth 3 times. I don't know why just a wierd Redemption rule I guess. Maybe there's so me biblical application there like when someone offends you, you go to your brother 3 times before you give them over to the enemy.

I remember hearing this rule before, but I've never once seen it applied. Is this still the case?

It's actually quite the logical rule. In a mutual-destruction situation, the Hero has the advantage and first initiative. So he would pass, giving the defender a chance to play something to get out of mutual destruction. If he did not, the Hero then has the final option to terminate the battle or play something to get out of mutual destruction.

This doesn't happen in big tournaments because SA's are more important than numbers, but when newbies are playing with less SA's and more number boosters, it's important to know exactly how initiative passing works.
