Oh Ryan! I am sure your cards are going to be just wonderful. Poo poo on Neal and his fancy schmancy cards. You remember what momma told you? The best things come from your heart. Now you go out there and grab that glue, hell maye even add some gold glitter around the edge. That will show neal just how creative you can be!! I think the symbols are a swell idea…nothing says Mandroid Armor like a little picture of a kitty cat glued right on top.
P.S. Lace wouldn’t hurt one litte bit.
Stalk ya later!
You read it correctly! A razor edged Batarang that will allow a Blades/Claws/Fangs roll on a Ranged Attack! Woo hoo!
These are awesome. I've wanted ranged BCF ever since I got Deathbird and thought that Running shot and BCF would kick ass.
I think the Batarangs should have Incapacitate as well. Is the Uni-Power the same as Captain Universe?
Usually you split the damage between all successfully hit targets.
There are two ways to handle this:
1) If you only do 1 damage, that's the luck of the dice. You can only do 1 damage to 1 target.
2) you split the damage evenly, rounding up. Thus, .5 to one and .5 to another is 1 to each.
The first is how things are normally run and how I think this should work, but it's Ryan's card, he'll have to decide how it works. Then he and Beau and I talk it over to approve it for game play.
Hostile? I thought it was a good question. But most people find intelligence threatening, so I guess I could see why you might be kind of apologetic.
Oh yeah. All those hormones out of whack, that'll do it.
Wow.
It's good we have these kinds of forums where we can openly discuss ideas such as this. You guys come up with thoughts and situations that I don't.
First question: Are there any figs with the Batman TA with multiple lightning bolts? If not, this whole question is moot.
Second, I think I would the card to work so that you can make the B/C/F roll for each successfully hit target, rather than making only one roll and splitting up the damage. If Batman is throwing out two razor tipped batarangs, each one should deal out it's own amount of damage.
Yes, the Uni-Power is the force behind Captain Universe.
I thought about Incacitate with the Batarangs as well, but I didn't want to overload the card.
My reasoning behind splitting the damage of 1 roll between the two figs is that technically you're not making two attacks. You're splitting one attack between two targets, so it would be like Bats throwing a single baterang and hit curving to hit two targets.
What you're describing sounds more like a ranged Flurry attack (which would kick ass) if this is what you're after then that's cool, but if you ge to roll BCF for each target then I think you should roll the attacks seperately, or make this thing a lot more expensive.
By the way, I'm thinking of raising the cost on the Cosmic Cube and adding a +3 to all stats, just to make it different from the Unipower. Otherwise it's essentially the same. Ideas?
Yes you can use EE and multiple targets, but your damage drops to 1 when using EE so while it sounds cool, anyone with Toughness or better will just ignore it. There are ways to boost this, but they require a somewhat complicated set up and you don't really get the payoff you want.
Yes, that could boost the damage, but a Boosted EE is pretty easy to see coming and is usually avoidable. Like I said, there are wasys to make it work, but they take some set up and can have a weak payoff. But, if you're interested, try this:
V - Ultron
V - Doombot
V - Doombot
V - SHIELD Medic
R - Avalanche
This is evil, here's the set up:
Your first move should result in a + sign in the middle of the board, Ultron facing your opponent, Medic behind him, a Doombot on each side of the medic,and Avalanche directly behind the medic, after your first turn, barrier in front of Ultron, done.
OK, that's the set up, now what? Well, lets clear up a few things:
SHIELD's ability works on Energy Explosion.
You can use SHIELD as many times as you want on a figure, actions permitting.
Ultron can choose 3 targets.
OK, this means, if your opponent has his figures set up like so (each letter representing 1 figure):
F G H I J
A B C D E
Ultron, using a triple-SHIELDed Energy Explosion, targets figures B, C and E, the ones nearest him, that's three figures. Ultron has a 14 attack, don't worry much about missing. Assuming he hits all 3 figures, here's what happens:
he hits figure B, figure A, B, C, F, G and H, each take 4 clicks of damage, that's 24 clicks, among 6 characters.
He hits figure C, figures B, C, D, G, H and I each take 4 clicks if damage, that's another 24 clicks.
D gets hit, H, I, J, C, D and E each take 4 clicks as well, for a total of 72 clicks of damage.
The break down per-figure is:
C and H, 12 clicks each.
G, B, I and D, 8 clicks each.
Z, F, J and E, 4 clicks each.
All this is one attack.
This is a one trick pony, but if you even get it off even partially, its fun!
PS - under the newer rules this exact setup won't work, but you get the idea.
Under the current rules it's applied all at once.
Neal has a point. It is just one attack. I don't want the card to get any more expensive, so it will just be the one die roll for damage split amoung the successfully hit targets.
Cool. But I do think we should make a Ranged Flurry card. That would so kick ass.
Sure would! What would be a good way to explain that one?
Frag grenade?
