Tommy Muldoon: Hero Question
Published on 19 November 2012 - 17:17:41

 Pulled from the AH wiki, his Hero ability states:

Mythos: Before a mythos card is drawn, Tommy may cause one or more monsters that are adjacent to his location to move to his location, regardless of their normal movement.

Can Tommy use this ability to move less than every adjacent monster? For example, to pull only one Dark Young out of two that are on a location? For some reason this use of the ability never occurred to me. I always assumed he pulled every single adjacent monster

It appears by the wording that the whomever is playing Tommy can make the decision to draw some, none, or all to his location.  It is not apparent, from reading it (and I work with linguists) that it's simply a binary response.

I'd say it's pretty apparent that he can choose some, and not necessarily all.

"Ashcan" Pete will take that off your hands when you're done with it.
Charlie Kane would befriend a strangled cat if given the chance.
Finn Edwards has very deep pockets.
Hank Samson does not care that you've mastered time travel.
Lily Chen can punch a hue.
Lola Hayes is the world's best Egyptologist.
Mark Harrigan is very good at hedge mazes.
Michael McGlen has never experienced an earthquake.
Minh Thi Phan makes group hugs empowering.
Patrice Hathaway plays songs you can't get out of your head.
Tommy Muldoon is most qualified to be deputy, yet for some reason nobody want him to be.
Tony Morgan sells meat out of the back of his van.
Ursula Downs can shop at an empty store.
Wendy Adams always wins at hide and seek.
William Yorick has a Bachelor's in Cryptozoology—no wonder he can't find work.
Wilson Richards will paint over anything for a dollar.
Zoey Samaras can torch a fire vampire.

I agree with the others.  It seems to be very useful to select some if Tom wants based on his current states and weapons.

This is an awesome ability because it allows you to single out a monster from a pack and take it down.  Whether or not Tommy Muldoon is your tooled out designated monster killer or is just a 'normal' investigator.  It allows him to select, one or more (from multiple adjacent locations) monsters that you know he can defeat effectively 'thinning the herd'.

This is one of the reasons I love Tommy.  I also like his Luck stat a lot!

Plus, it allows you to move monsters that usually don't move in normal ways. Which is good if you have to clean the road for someone else :-)

Yes indeed,

Think; clear a Dark Young off of a gate for a gate diver!

I usually use it to shoot down flyers.
