-Type of Glyph-

• Equipment Glyph: Equipment Glyphs, which are a part of this Master Set, are a special type of Glyph similar to Treasure Glyphs that were introduced in the Heroscape Battle for the Underdark Master Set. Equipment Glyphs are normally mobile and can be carried by a Unique Hero unless otherwise stated in a scenario. Treat Equipment Glyphs as normal Glyphs with the following exceptions. Some scenarios may break these rules.

• 1. If the figure is a Unique Hero they can choose to pick up the Equipment Glyph by placing the Glyph on that Unique Hero's Army Card. Remember that Uncommon figures are considered Unique for all special powers and Glyphs.
• 2.The power of the Equipment Glyph is in effect while a figure carries it and it affects only the figure that is carrying it unless otherwise stated. Note: For Equipment Glyphs that have an "Area of effect" (i.e. the power text states "within X spaces"), the Glyph is considered to be positioned on the space occupied by the Hero carrying the Glyph.
• 3. At any point before, during, or after moving a Unique Hero figure carrying an Equipment Glyph that you control, you may announce that the figure is passing the Equipment Glyph to an adjacent friendly Unique Hero figure. Place the Equipment Glyph on the friendly figure's card.
• 4. A Unique Hero can only carry one Equipment Glyph at a time. If a Unique Hero you control carrying an Equipment Glyph lands on another Equipment Glyph, after activating the Glyph you may choose to replace the glyph already on the Unique Hero's card with the newly activated Glyph. Place the Glyph formerly on the Unique Hero's card power-side up onto a space the figure currently occupies.
• Dropping Equipment Glyphs: At any point during a figure's movement, you may announce that the figure is dropping an Equipment Glyph. Place the Equipment Glyph power-side up onto a space the figure currently occupies. That figure may now continue its movement. Note: You cannot drop an Equipment Glyph onto a space that already has another Glyph on it.
• Losing Equipment Glyphs: If a figure you control that is carrying an Equipment Glyph is destroyed or wounded, choose one opposing player to immediately place the Glyph power-side up on an empty space within 5 spaces of the space your figure last occupied.

NAME = UTILITY: BAT-GRAPPLE
(summary of power) = Swinging Movement

TYPE OF GLYPH = EQUIPMENT
POWER TEXT = Instead of its normal move, this figure may use Bat-Grapple if it is tiny, small, or medium. Bat-Grapple has a move of 3. When counting spaces for Bat-Grapple, ignore elevations. This figure may grapple over water without stopping, grapple over figures without becoming engaged, and grapple over obstacles such as ruins. This figure may not Bat-Grapple more than 30 levels up or down in a single Bat-Grapple. When this figure starts to Bat-Grapple, it will not take any leaving engagement attacks.

Nothing to comment on right now, other than: can you please format the SP better with all of the needed info?

Looks good.

[Good Pig]

Looks good. Probably best to test out with figures that need mobility the most. Basically any HH with 5 move and no extra mobility option like Leap or Flying.

This is just a small sample, but you get the idea.

- Wolverine
- Thing
- Punisher
- Colossus
- Green Arrow
- Kingpin
- Grundy

Thanks. It's been a while since I've done a glyph. I'll update that in a bit here.

Yep, good calls. I think in the two army tests I'll probably do one where each starting zone starts with one and one where it starts in the middle of the map.

looks good, should fly through design.

Yeah, and the fact that it likely will, I think Bats should be able to get several of these glyphs knocked out real quick without needing my help. Of course I will if he still thinks he needs me too, but I think these are gonna go by very fast.

[tcglkn]

I'd be fine with him running and testing a few at once. I have nothing else to add here.

Yeah, I don't think they're going to be that rough. I was mostly interested in your input on the design end of things because I'm iffy on how to translate Bat-a-rangs adequately into a glyph that could be used by anyone ...

I wouldn't mind doing that if you guys are all good with it ... but the others are likely to be more innovative or design involved than this one. Either way, I wanted to do this one as a test run since I figured it'd be the easiest and then start going for the more complicated ones after Floronic Man is done.
