Re: The Book of Ant-Man - Designing
NAME = ANT-MAN
SECRET IDENTITY = HANK PYM SPECIES = MUTATE UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO CLASS = SCIENTIST PERSONALITY = INNOVATIVE SIZE/HEIGHT = TINY 2 LIFE = 1 MOVE = 4 RANGE = 1 ATTACK = 3 DEFENSE = 6 POINTS = 30 INSECT CONTROL 2 Before taking a turn with Ant-Man, you may first take a turn with up to two different Common Insect Heroes you control. TINY STEALTH Ant-Man is never in clear sight of non-adjacent enemy figures and he only takes leaving engagement attacks from tiny figures. MIGHTY LEAP 5 Instead of his normal move, Ant-Man may move up to 5 spaces with Mighty Leap. When moving with Mighty Leap, Ant-Man has the Flying special power, but may not move up or down more than 5 levels in a single leap. Ant-Man cannot attack on any turn he chooses to Mighty Leap. |
Re: The Book of Ant-Man - Designing
I am really liking this write-up, Griff! I only wonder if since he can only be attacked when adjacent, if 6 Defense is a little high. However, I am sure playtesting will bear this out.

Re: The Book of Ant-Man - Designing
He can also only attack when he's adjacent and he's pretty slow unless he's leaping and subtracting dice. But, yeah, we'll see ...

I found this on Marvel Comic Database, so I'm guessing that could make him a Mutate. Quote:
Life of 3 and Defense 6 are good Tiny 2 is good so he can walk up a level and attack and defend vs. 1 level higher. Really like Radio Insect Control Really like Microscopic Stealth I'm trying to figure out the Mighty Leap 6 though. That doesn't really jive with me. I mean for one thing, that is farther of a leap than any Swingline or other Leap (aside from Hulk, Abomination, Doomsday and She-Hulk I believe) and not only that, but 50 levels high is as high as Hulk leaps but higher than She-Hulk, Toad, Beast etc, can leap higher than Spidey, Venom, Batman etc. can Swing. There's just no way that he should have a Leap power like that IMO as I've never seen anywhere near that. I've seen him leap from ground level to give a double fisted punch underneath someone's chin and knock them for a loop, but not like Adam Ant and leap over buildings. :D The only thing I can see is that this is a means of representing him flying on an insect, because a move of 6 and up to 50 levels up might as well be flying. So I can almost see him have a flying power on his card and be representing him flying on a winged insect, since this version is basically him bonding with insects anyway. To replace the Mighty Leap 6, I can see some kind of power where if he begins his turn not adjacent to an opponent's figure, he may add 1 to his attack. This would kind of represent him getting the element of surprise that I've seen him use. Take that for what it's worth. I'm not trying to be critical, I'm just trying to add my perspective from what I've seen of Ant-Man, but that doesn't mean other perspectives aren't right either, though I really don't see him Leaping 6 spaces and 50 levels high. :) |
Re: The Book of Ant-Man - Designing
Thanks Hahma.

Re: The Book of Ant-Man - Designing
I think distance of 2 or 3 might work better from what Hahma's saying. Distance of 6 is really significant in this game.

That's as much as I'm going to say about it, as I don't want to argue about it. It's just my opinion for what it's worth and I will support whatever direction the group wants to go. :D |
Re: The Book of Ant-Man - Designing
I had those same initial reservations when I first saw this one, Hahma, so I'm on board with you here.

Your last comment is confusing and alarming to me. I never thought for a second that we were "arguing" or heading that way. Have I given that impression? I will support the group as well, as I always have, but I don't want you to shut down either. Right now, your the only guy talking to me about the design. You care about the character and I think that is important. Don't be so sensitive dude, because I want to keep this dialog going. |
