As Marvel Champions grows, it gets harder for new (and old) players to keep track of all the changes. Some changes get placed in the errata of the rules, others come from live streams and posts from the designers or social media. That’s why we’ve decided to make this list of keywords and rules, with some frequently asked questions and unique interactions we’ve encountered and resolved in our own games.
