Margloth's Custom Superhero Thread

Margloth · #1 November 6th, 2010, 03:17 PM

I originally began this thread as a place to place my write-ups for Watchmen customs, but I got kinda bored with that (and honestly I didn't really keep up with it). Having been inspired lately by the C3G group (check out their excellent stuff here: http://http://www.heroscapers.com/community/forumdisplay.php?f=68 ), I decided to simply post all my Super Customs here.

I've been taking it kinda slow... not really any super interesting characters, and heavily influenced by C3G designs. But anyway, I thought I'd post my little musings. Any feedback or input is always appreciated.

Thanks!

I really like your Rorschach custom, especially the interaction between the Journal and Paranoia powers. That was a stroke of brilliance.

Dr Manhattan is probably priced too high at this point. Unless I'm reading things incorrectly, he's a single-attacking hero, that can attack out of turn, with excellent target selection. Yes he's beefy, but not 500 points worth of beefy. I have two recomendations for him. First there should be some reason for him to use his regular movement instead of teleporting everywhere. IIRC in the book he actually does alot of walking around and only teleports when it's warranted.

Secondly, have you considered Observer for his class? It seems to be like it would be a good fit considering how he exists at all points along his timeline.

I like Observer for class!

As for your other observations (pun intended), I understand what you're saying and I may have to drop the points. I'd rather give him powers to match, but currently I'm not sure how much card space I'm working with. Plus, does the ability to take 4 turns, 3 of which interrupt the opponent's, possibly make the points more worth it? Maybe it's time for me to try some playtests (I'm waiting on the figs still anyway...

). And he is still throwing 8 attack dice with 4 range. In the super world, where defense/life combos are high, that's gotta be worth something.

Also, I know the walk/teleport powers are at odds, but honestly I'm not sure why he'd ever walk anyway. Yes, he walks in the novel, but that's almost only when he's talking to others. Whenever he truly 'moves about' he teleports. I guess I could the number to 5, but I see him as being a little deliberate when he does walk, and once again, with Teleport, does it matter?

Thanks for the input though, and I am mulling it over!

Added Ozymandias.

For Dr. Manhattan, Godly or Divine would work good as personalities.

Here's a tip when creating customs. Take it 1 at a time. Things just go crazy otherwise.

Do they sell Watchmen boosters? Or did you buy the whole set? If so, you'll have pletny of material, inclding a giant Dr. Manhattan!

Lastly, welcome to the community!

Re-did this a little (moving away from Watchmen customs, which got to be a little boring to me) and more into Marvel territory. Check out the OP. Thanks!

So how does Odin get wounds if he's never on the battlefield?

Wolvie · #12 April 13th, 2011, 04:28 PM

Nice cards, especially the Fandral Card.. I have the figure so been looking forward to a card, this one seems solid, my Thor Fan Friend is going to draft all these cards from now on
