The Book of Trickster (James Jesse)

[SirGalahad]

I'll look up all the X OM power texts later today.

[tcglkn]

That's a really cool power A3n, I hope it works out. You could always say "remove and reveal" if there is an actual issue there.

[tcglkn]

The figure used for this unit is a Modified Heroclix figure from the Crisis set.
Its model number and name are #027 / Trickster and Pied Piper.

If we are using this figure, I wonder if we shouldn't represent his bomb as a Stink Bomb. I don't have any ideas for a power right now, just the power name.

[IAmBatman]

Heh. Stink bomb would be funny. Maybe figures can either move away from the center of the blast or be subject to additional damage? Just spitballing. I do like the idea of him having something for the bomb, though. Probably once per game like Harley ...
That, the Itching Powder, and the distraction power feel like the best power set right now.

Anti-Monitor, Iron Fist, Loki are after your turn.
Batman (Terry), Oracle, Riddler are on your turn.
Brainiac (Vrill Dox) can be on your opponent's turn, but it would be instead of modifying a die roll.
Cyborg Superman, Deadpool, Lady Deathstrike, Metallo, Sabretooth, Wolverine are at the end of the round.
M.O.D.O.K. is on your opponent's turn, but only if M.O.D.O.K. is attacked.
Professor X is on your opponent's turn, and would be enhanced because since it is being revealed using Trickster's power instead of his own, it would be able to be used against figures with the Mental Shield special power (not that anyone is going to attack Trickster instead of going after the higher-ticket figures, but it could happen).

Looks like it's all good. As long as any designs using an "X" OM specify when it triggers, I don't think we should have any problems.

[IAmBatman]

Trickster's power and Prof X's power both just immediately end the attacking figure's turn, though, so I don't think there's any danger of stacking. A turn can only either end or not end.
But, yeah, it'll increase the range of effectiveness if you played the two together, because an X on Prof X's card could protect Trickster or protect anyone around Prof X.
Not a big deal, though, as Prof X would have to have a non-Mutant in his army to take advantage and it's a once per round stop either way (unless you're paying for Loki).
Sounds like we're good here. Good check up, Sir G.

[A3n]

Yep thanx SirG .

[A3n]

If there is anybody available I believe this is well past due for an initial playtest.

[tcglkn]

No love for the idea of trying to work in a Stink Bomb to go along with the mini? I'm not a fan of the Sticking Gum power so I think I'd much prefer a Stink Bomb power.

[IAmBatman]

I hadn't realized we were fully updated and ready for testing here. Griffin is your dedicated playtester, though, unless he can't do it for some reason.

[Griffin]

I am definitely doing this one, as I am A3n's designated shadow, but I wasn't aware the OP was ready either.

Nobody had a hard suggestion for a power & I am happy with the Sticky Gum.

This is something I had thought of for it:

STINK BOMB
Before attacking you may choose to use Stink Bomb. If you use Stink Bomb the defending figure will roll 1 less defense dice for each skull you roll or may move 1 space. If the defending figure moves one space instead of attacking normally, roll 1 attack die. If you roll a skull the defending figure receives 1 wound.

I forgot all about that. Thanx Griff.
