Just my random musings about Heroscape...
Super Hero Synergy
Posted March 18th, 2010 at 10:39 AM by Elginb
I'm just brainstorming ways to synergize super hero teams, starting with...
X-MEN
MOVEMENT
Cyclops - he could have a "cover fire" style ability a la Agent Skahen. Maybe limited to mutant figures.
Storm - She frequently carries her teammates by creating a gust of wind. Maybe she could have some type of D20 carry-- if she rolls 1-7, she can carry one medium or small figure, if 8-14, two figures, if 15-20, 3 figures.
Marvel Girl/Phoenix - she could have a version of Jotun's throw, but that can be activated from a distance and wouldn't cause damage to friendly figures.
DEFENSE
Colossus - He could have a ranged version of Tandros' power in which non-adjacent attackers must attack him instead of any friendly figures adjacent to him.
Kitty Pride - She could have a Smoke Powder type power for figures standing next to her, but it would work against melee attacks, too.
MULTIPLE ATTACKS
Storm - seems natural for Storm to be able to attack multiple times with lightning bolts
Wolverine - seems like he should have some sort of wounded frenzy.
Kitty Pride - she could have something like a wounded bonding: at the beginning of the game, she could pick one unique mutant hero to be her BFF; if she takes a wound, then her BFF could then take a turn immediately.

No "Fastball Special" for Colosus?
Fastball Special: Instead of attacking with Colosus you may move a friendly adjacent Medium hero up to six spaces and attack with that hero. You may not use this ability if the figure to be moved would not move into engagement. It's quick and dirty, but it would get the job done, and it's one of Colosus's signature moves. |

You're right! I thought I had that in there, but I must've forgotten...
