I have a token that is a copy of Murderous Redcap coming into play (by way of Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker) and a Kessig Wolf Run in play with plenty of lands to tap for mana. Is it possible to pump redcap with Wolfrun after it enters the battlefield (and is thus a creature) but before the damage trigger resolves thus making the power greater for a bigger ping? In the rulings it says "[i]Murderous Redcap's power is checked at the time the ability resolves[/i]", so it seems to me that there is a point that it can be pumped before power is checked.

Absolutely, for the reason you've stated. The Redcap's ability uses the stack like any other triggered ability, so you get priority to activate abilities and cast spells before it resolves.

When in doubt, call a judge.
