BIOELECTRIC MANIPULATION
Once per player turn, when combat dice are rolled for an opponent’s figure within 4 clear sight spaces of Ion, you may choose up to two dice rolled. You may choose up to three dice instead, if that figure is an Android, Cyborg, or has the Electrically Charged special power. All chosen dice must be rerolled once.

TELESTATIC TELEKINETICS SPECIAL ATTACK
Range 4. Attack 4 + Special.
If Ion inflicts at least one wound with this special attack, he may attack again, rolling one additional attack die. Ion may continue attacking with this special attack until he does not inflict a wound, to a maximum of three attacks per turn. Ion may target non-adjacent figures for this attack even if he is engaged, and cannot attack the same figure more than once.

No real changes from the LCW here. Main thing at this point is just establishing a good class for him. Johnny and I did feel that Enforcer really didn't fit, and general feeling seems to be not creating a new class if we don't have to.

Re: The Book of Ion (Breathing)
 

I don’t think your link in the designs thread is working as I clicked on it and it went to nothing. Had to find this manually.

Re: The Book of Ion (Breathing)
 

Well that's weird. I fixed it now though.

Re: The Book of Ion (Breathing)
 

Operative, maybe?

Re: The Book of Ion (Breathing)
 

Fwiw, I think this 'no new classes' thing is silly - if a class fits, a class fits. Granted, I'm not a fan of the one you initially had, since it seemed unnecessarily bitty, but what's the theme here? Why does Enforcer not seem to fit?

Re: The Book of Ion (Breathing)
 

I could see it. I originally envisioned that for the Gen Zero kids (kids basically taken at a young age by military contractor Project Rising Spirit and trained and used as a black ops team), but given my designs for them are aimed more after they are freed from there, they could likely get a different class themselves to open up Operative here.

By "not creating a new class if we don't have to" I literally mean exactly what you're saying. If there's something that fits, we will use it. If there isn't, there isn't and we will make something new.

Enforcer basically fits in name only, not really in context. So the "personal military force" concept aligns to a degree. However, in the context of what we actually have classed as Enforcers, IMO these guys don't really fit in the slightest. The whole organization is very rooted in Harada's Japanese culture, with Psiot ranks literally being designations found in samurai culture.

Yakuza. :-P

Re: The Book of Ion (Breathing)
 

Looks good! Interesting that his SA gets stronger rather than weaker. Makes target priority strange.

Will want to specify figure or player turn for the first power. Also I assume it wouldn't affect Special Attacks since it doesn't specify?

Re: The Book of Ion (Breathing)
 

The idea there is him pulling electricity from each person hit, thus strengthening the attack. Honestly should probably drop electrically charged from that bit as it probably muddies that theme even more.

Yep, doesn't affect Special Attacks. Will specify player turn when breathing ends.
