A converted Character retains abilities. Does it lose its special abilities?

That depends. An evil character converted to a Hero retains its abilities unless an ability can harm another hero.

Makes sense.

So I'm going to go ahead and assume that:

Evil Banding is out of the question
Negating/Interrupting/Preventing good cards is out. (or is it?)
Discarding/Capturing/Removing Heroes is out.

And from there we proceed to something of a case-on-case basis.

The abilities stay the same on converted characters. A converted Evil Character retains special abilities unless it does something un-heroic like if it said "discard a hero", it would lose that ability. A Hero loses its Special ability, regardless of the special abilities nature when converted to an EC.

Huh. That's interesting.

Thank you very much, Redwing!

That's not true, actually. A Hero will always lose his SA when converted to an EC. An EC will retain its ability unless it targets a Hero specifically, not to be confused with a SA that could potentially target a Hero. For example, an SA that says "Discard a Hero" would not convert, but a SA that says "Discard a Character" would. A SA that says "Negate a Hero" would not convert, but one that says "Negate all Characters" would.
I am not talking about T2 unless I am explicitly talking about T2. Also Mayhem is fine now somehow!

Pardon me, Minister Polarius, but isn't that what Redwing said?

I'm assuming yes, he might have thought when Redwing said "abilities stay the same," which means */*, not special ability.

But Redwing did mention that thing about the Special Abilities.

It's not the same thing he said. "Un-heroic-like" is not the criterion, targeting a Hero is.

Sadly, Saint Rainbow Dash has not been made a card yet.
