Re: The Book of Jewel - Design Phase
NAME = JEWEL
SECRET IDENTITY = JESSICA JONES SPECIES = MUTATE UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO CLASS = FIGHTER PERSONALITY = INTUITIVE SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5 LIFE = 5 MOVE = 5 RANGE = 1 ATTACK = 4 DEFENSE = 6 POINTS = 150 POWER FLUCTUATIONS Before taking a turn with Jewel, roll the 20-sided die. • If you roll 1-5, Jewel may not use the Flying or Super Strength special powers for the remainder of this turn. • If you roll 6-15, nothing happens. • If you roll 16 or higher, add one to Jewel's Attack number for the remainder of this turn. PSYCHOLOGICAL VULNERABILITY 1 Jewel rolls 1 fewer defense die against attacks from Telepaths and figures with a Manipulative personality. FIGHTER LOYALTY If Jewel is adjacent to a Unique Fighter Hero you control, add one die to her attack and defense. SUPER STRENGTH FLYING Original Post:

Re: The Book of Jewel - Design Phase
Great feel to her, Bats. Her powers are a really good fit, my issue is with her stats. 6 attack? 7 defense? Is she really stouter than either Hawkman or Hawkgirl? She just recently has resurfaced in New Avengers and is considering taking the name Power Woman, to honor her husband. Speaking of which she admits in said issue that Luke is quite a bit stronger and more resilient than her, your current stats don't allow room for that without Luke Cage being a black version of Superman. Theme-break for me.
I think 5 Attack, 6 defense with the Psychic Power changed to this would be better: PSYCHIC VULNERABILITY When Jewel rolls defense against a normal or special attack from a Telepath, she rolls one fewer defense die. |
Re: The Book of Jewel - Design Phase
You know her much better than I do, so I trust your judgment here! :-) Changes made.

Re: The Book of Jewel - Design Phase
OP tidied up (are you using the old version?) and mini info added.

Re: The Book of Jewel - Design Phase
Thanks, Sir G! :-) Not sure which version I'm on ... where can I find the new version to make sure I'm doing it right?

I also just read the latest New Avengers where she took on the Power Woman name. It was pretty funny how that all went down. Spidey is funny because he won't reveal his true identity, he can't get a paycheck like the other New Avengers and can't be in on some Top Secret talk. :lol: |
Re: The Book of Jewel - Design Phase
Man, Jewel's character may be one of the most boring characters of all time.... I think we have a good OP fwiw though, I just wish the character gave us more cowbell.
I think she is ready for playtesting at any time. |

Re: The Book of Jewel - Design Phase
I think some characters in the comics just aren't that exciting ... and that's OK. :-)
I'm lined up to do the Kree Scout initial, but if someone else wants to do this one, that's cool. Spidey let me know that if she's still around once he's done with ULTRON, he's happy to do the initial for her (since I told him I'd love to do Red Skull's initial). |
Re: The Book of Jewel - Design Phase
I agree, we don't have to trick out every unit with complex powers. Some characters are pretty basic and that's fine. We've released some basic units and they are fine without too much fluff. :D
Here's some mini pix: http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k2...Jan2011010.jpg http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k2...Jan2011011.jpg I was going to start on the Kree, but if you're set up to do that Bats then I can do Jewel or Griff's new one and save this one for Spidey. Either way, I don't care. |
