[quote=@ERode] Hm, couple of questions for [@KoL] before muh next paste. 1. Does activating Star's Protection count as one Action? 2. Would Star's Protection negate the effects of Mauve Night's slows? Would the slows still apply to Blue Nova? Or would Star's Protection be 'slowed', in that it's cooldown is increased and there's a delay for activation and deactivation, while Blue Nova himself is uneffected? [/quote] 1- Based on the Ability's description, I'd say that it takes an action to activate it, indeed. 2 - Also based on the questioning I did when you made your character. I think that the second option is better.
