Re: Yeah...
 

Glad you're popping in, Dysole. Feel free to stick around.

I had it as a modifier to the normal attack for ranged figures - reduce range and attack to be able to attack multiple times. I can see how that might overpower future designs that would incorporate our Power Glyphs.

As to the Power Glyphs, these are something we came up with for use with the Thomas Hunter design to allow him to learn new skills as the game progressed. They are never placed on the battlefield, only on cards to supplement the design and only on cards that have a special power that uses them. They can't be lost or transferred to other characters. Seemed a natural fit to use them with Neo to represent the ability to download new skills for use in the Matrix.

More Power
 

I read about them so I knew what they were. I just couldn't remember off the top of my head if there were any that limited themselves to certain characters. I also think Aquilla makes the most sense if you don't want him in Vydar.

Yeah I'm going to say Aquilla... I like Manipulate the Matrix as the power name better personally... I think if we do go with the gun attack the 1 and 1 glyph method sounds good to me...

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

With regards to Neo's general. I at first thought Vydar also. Technology, Krav Maga. But I don't think that's the case anymore.
The spiritual monkly side of things as has been mentioned gave me a pause for Ullar.
However, the more I think of it, the more Einar really seems like the way to go.

The counter to Einar is that while Einar is the "faction of mankind and their machinations" it's also of empires and militarization.
Look at Spartacus, rising up against the machine, leading his rebel forces and creating a new empire. That's what Morpheus is doing with Zion.

Edit: I prefer MANIPULATE THE MATRIX over THE ONE
This version of Neo is before he is confirmed to be The One. It's only speculative by this point. This version of Neo is before he can fly and heal and regenerate and etc. I think that uber version should perhaps be The One to have that power name

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

I have flip-flopped my opinion on Neo. I don't think he needs the Lots of Guns Special Attack. His normal attack represents his gun just fine, IMO. Also, Confred makes a good point about 'The One'. I think I prefer 'Manipulate the Matrix'.

Thoughts?

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

I'm fine with both of these points. Without LoGSA, ID could go back to 3 total power glyphs. I think we could add a simple Double Attack power glyph to let Neo shoot twice in a turn.

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

Instead of a Double Attack power glyph, could we just give Neo Double Attack? I worry about giving other figures that use power glyphs Double Attack.

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

MtM is a better name. "The One" might work better for a more advanced Neo.

"I see you have some skill."

Double attack works, I think.

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

With Double Attack. Will we need to add "normal attack" to the wording for Double Attack?

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

Yes. I believe we would. I've definitely seen that before on a C3G figure. I can't think of it off the top of my head, but to avoid confusion it should be on there.

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

How would double attack mix with whirlwind assault?

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

Double Attack
When Neo attacks with his normal attack, he may attack with his normal attack one additional time.
