(e.g. a close blast three could target the Colossus’s Legs, Body and Left Arm) The Colossus has 3 standard actions to use on its turn, each action must be from a different component. (e.g. it could use its legs to Move, use its left arm to use Active Defence and use its head to use Eye Beams). If the Colossus has actions left but no different components to use it may make use of any remaining actions to either make a save or roll a recharge on an expended power. The Colossus does not have actions points Each component of the Colossus can be affected by ongoing effects as normal, all components may make saves against ongoing effects at the end of the colossus’s turn. The following are special rules for status effects –  Immobilised – body – left and right arm powers are reduced to reach 1Immobilised – arms – affected arms powers are reduced to reach 1Slowed – arms – affected arms powers take a -2 penalty to attackDazed – any component – component cannot be used while dazedStunned – any component – component cannot be used and Colossus loses one of its standard actions while a component is stunnedKnocked Prone – legs – only the legs can be knocked prone, when hit by a power that could knock it prone the legs make an immediate save, if successful the colossus remains standing. Creatures get an additional +1 bonus to attack rolls against a prone colossus.  OK onto the components themselves.

You would probably have to careful design the environment as well.</blockquote>
