Should Becon's innate ability be unlimited? It does not list the unlimited trait, but it's almost identical to other hersos innate abilities that do show the trait (ex. ra)

 

i ask ask bc we were playing a game where baron blade stripped the power cards from the heroes. Ra could still shoot twice but Becon could not, the Becon player found it extreamly infair.

Only abilities labeled Unlimited are naturally Unlimited. This isn't an oversight for Beacon, it's a boon for Ra (and Tachyon). If Beacon wanted to spend another action to do more damage, she could of course Aim before using her single attack.

Nope. People’s Hammer, Fire Blast, and Go Bots! Are the only unlimited innates. It is balanced because Beacon has other things Ra does not, like mobility, several other attacks, and the ability to disregard line of sight.

We kept forgetting about aim & dodge. I think it would have mitigated the Becon players' whining if we remembered aim.

Plus, you DO get to play a card at the start of your turn, so it’s not like you’d be forced to only use your innate abilities.
