BD

This Special shuts down one of the Power Grid abilities (attacker's choice) on the target Character's card for the remainder of the Battle. Cards that this Special makes "unusable" may be kept in the opponent's hand as bluffing cards. This Special only affects Power, Tactic, and Universe cards (i.e., cards that indicate that a skill is required to use it). It does not affect Special cards for the target Character since Specials are unrelated to the Character's Power Grid. This Special may be avoided or negated.

Meta Rules
Meta #60 When a Special affects the skills that a person can use, it affects their ability to use any cards that have a skill requirement. It does not affect their ability to play cards that do not have a skill requirement (such as Specials).

Meta #139 If a Special requires that the playing Character make a choice of some kind, then that choice must be made prior to the opponent's defensive action.

Meta #150 Specials which target a Character must be played against a character - they may not be played against a Special or a Battlesite.

Meta #152 Specials which read "Target" (with no qualifier) or "Target Opponent" should read "Target Character". Specials which say "Opponent" without the word "Target" refer to the opponent (not a specific character).
