_________________________________________________________________
Character Bio - Elizabeth Braddock was born into a superhuman family. Her father was not of this planet; her twin brother was the hero Captain Britain. Elizabeth has been a member of S.T.R.I.K.E. and the X-Men. She has had her eyes gouged out, replaced with cybernetic ones, and rehealed. She has had her mind transferred into another’s body and back out again. For a time she gained Jean Grey’s telekinetic powers. She’s been killed and resurrected a number of times. Her current telepathic powers can be focused into a ‘psychic knife,’ which can be used to wound, incapacitate, or kill.

PSYCHIC KNIFE


After moving and instead of attacking, you may choose an adjacent figure and roll the 20-sided die.

• If you roll 1-9, nothing happens;
• If you roll 10-16, the chosen figure receives 1 wound;
• If you roll 17-19, the chosen figure receives 2 wounds, and you may remove 1 unrevealed Order Marker at random from the chosen figure's Army Card;
• If you roll 20 or higher, the chosen figure is destroyed.

Destructible objects are not affected by Psychic Knife.

MASTER MARTIAL ARTIST
When attacking an opponent's adjacent figure with a normal attack, add one automatic skull to whatever is rolled. When defending against a normal attack from an adjacent figure, add one automatic shield to whatever is rolled, and all excess shields count as unblockable hits on the attacking figure.

SUPER STRENGTH

[IAmBatman]

I love it.

[SirGalahad]

If anyone can find better comic art (one with her knife to match the mini), it'd be much appreciated.

[Good Pig]

Great design. Love the abilities set.

[IAmBatman]

Having trouble finding anything better than what's in the OP ...

[Spidey'tilIDie]

Love the mini, love the stats, love the powers. I literally only have one issue and its this:

MASTER MARTIAL ARTIST
When attacking an opponent's adjacent figure with a normal attack, add one automatic skull to whatever is rolled. When defending against a normal attack from an adjacent figure with X, add one automatic shield to whatever is rolled. All excess shields count as unblockable hits on the attacking figure.

Shouldn't there be a name or phrase right where the big red X is? (I added the X)

[A3n]

I like this one:

[tcglkn]

That's a good one A3n.

Slick design SirG. Does about everything she should do.

[SirGalahad]

Nope, the 'with' should not be there.

EDIT: Fixed.

[Good Pig]

Figures with Mental Shield should probably have immunity to Psychic Knife right?
