More than 3 special abilities?
Are there any figures besides Sonya Esenwein with four special abilities? I was thinking of doing this for a custom, which is of course my prerogative, but I really want to stay true to the spirit of the game as much as possible. Just curious.
Thanks, -CK rolls one less defense die against figures who like him. |

Re: More than 3 special abilities?
Nope, Sonya is the only official figure who has 4 powers. But, although most don't recommend it(even me), the world of customs doesn't have to follow suit with all of the official "rules". It'd be a good idea to try to keep the number of powers down, and if possible, combine them(which is standard when it comes to the official units ).

I believe Sonya is all by herself with four powers on her card.

Re: More than 3 special abilities?
Techinically, half the Marvel figures have 4 powers if you include superstrength. Sonya does set the precident for official figures, and I could see a custom with them if 2 or more of the powers are standard ones such as flying, disengage, counterstrike, etc. But I would not like a unit with 3 original powers so one more power would be really bad.

Re: More than 3 special abilities?
Thank you guys. I'm assuming the lovely miss Sonya is the exception that proves the rule, and stick with the 3. Thanks.

Re: More than 3 special abilities?
Keeping in mind that one of Sonya's powers is a drawback she stands alone as the only 4 powers unit because of that fact. In C3V when I look at the units we create I look over the powers thinking of how that effects the game or if its really necessary for the unit. Units with 3 powers sometimes are just fluff while others they make the unit better. I always look back at how some of the best units in the game still come from the first master set and only have 1 or 2 powers.

I think the big considerations are theme and simplicity. Sonya is a fairly simple character. Those two powers unique to her could be thought of as one and the same power. They define her, and it fits with the theme of the character. They could have been combined to make a three power hero, but it makes a lot more sense to have them be two separate powers. It is an easier card to understand with four powers than it would have been with three. I would say to capture the theme you want with your custom in as simple a way as possible.

Re: More than 3 special abilities?
Thanks, Robb and Agent. I definitely think I've over-complicated my custom and that was one intent of my question, so I'd know what to do to keep it more in line with HeroScape's spirit. Time for some editing....
