So, I recently got a few figures. I've been wondering about those attacks that say to spin until you get a result other than that one. Does the multiplier begin at 0 or 1? The wording doesn't really seem clear on this.
Spin until. . .

That's what I was thinking. It makes sense to start counting at zero.
Moar questions:
1. What is the type for?
2. Trainer Card Point Value. Quick Start says its for "Advanced Game," but the rulebook doesn't mention it.
3. Burned. What does it do? Rulebook doesn't say, but X Accuracy mentions it.

I don't know what you're meaning by what the multiplier starts at, but if you mean what I think you mean, I believe it starts at 1 (Meaning that the initial Fire Spin or whatever attack counts as the first 50 or however much damage, the next one you spin takes it up to 100).
As for your other questions:
1. Nothing yet.
2. Circle = 100 points. There was a topic about what's allowed in official games; I think its 3 cards max and 300 points max but I'm not sure. 300's the most you can get to with 3 cards from the first set anyways.
3. Burn and Noxious are Special Conditions that are mentioned on set 1 figures (For example, Zangoose's Immunity and Corsola's built-in power), but no set 1 figures can cause them. They were only mentioned so they wouldn't have to be errata'd in when pokemon that can inflict them come out.

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. I want to know what happens if I spin Fire Spin once on the first spin and then hit some other attack. Is my damage 0 (50 * 0) or 50 (50 * 1)?

i believe it says for each time you spin it it does 50X the number of times, so the first is 50, 2nd is 100 etc

Your damage should be 50, I think.

Yeah, that's the confusing part. You've already spun it before you activated its effect. It then tells you to spin and do 50x the number of times you land on it. It's terribly unclear whether the first landing counts towards that or not since you landed on it prior to the effect activating.

No, you don't do the effect of whatever you land on. This is the TFG equivilant of "Flip a coin until you get tails. This attack does 50 damage plus 50 more damage for each heads."
Got it. Isn't Fire Spin 50X? Did we determine the first one counts?
More like "flip a coin. If tails, flip a coin until you get heads. This attack does 50 damage times the number of tails you flipped during this attack." :wink:

That's the same thing, just more complicatedly worded...
