I like this version

[quote=McHotcakes;2161953] I do too

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

Another variant:

ICE FORTRESS
When rolling defense dice against a normal attack from a non adjacent figure, if Elsa rolls at least one shield, block all damage and Elsa can't be attacked again this turn.

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

I like this the best cause its like she makes an ice shield that stops all incoming attacks. I would however, make it to where she can't be attacked by another normal attack.

When rolling defense dice against a normal attack from a non adjacent figure, if Elsa rolls at least one shield, block all damage and Elsa can't be attacked again this turn by a (non adjacect?) normal attack.

That way she is still vulnerable to SA's that could bypass her ice wall

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

I like this, let's just have it against all normal attacks. Basically she surrounds her hex with ice.

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

At what point does it just become better/more streamlined to just give Elsa a variant of Thorian Speed? 6 Defense w/ a Stealth Dodge-type power is already basically impossible to hit. (C3G's Wonder Woman is proof of that) I feel like anything we do in addition to that is gonna make it so unappealing to take even pot shots at her that she might as well have Thorian Speed. Would it be worth taking Occam's Razor to this and go for:

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

I'm ok with simplifying. Branching out was a thought experiment to capture new potential value. I'm not a fan of simply renaming powers. I'd like it to stand out somehow, even if only simply.

For example
+Def vs per adj snow/ice (applies to friends)

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

True, true, shows how often I stick around during projects lol

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

I definitely have appreciated your feedback.

I think it would be neat having her pod with Greater Ice Elementals, guarding them with fortress, forcing opponents in and then have the snowmen engagement strike all who try to disrupt the Queen's plans.

I don't know how canon such a maneuver is, but her being a shut in was a big part of what I saw from the movie (I've seen maybe 20%)

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

ICE FORTRESS
If Elsa ends her turn not adjacent to any figures, until your next turn, Elsa and all friendly figures on Ice or Snow within 6 clear sight spaces of Elsa add 2 automatic shields when defending against nonadjacent normal attacks.

- forces choice of defense vs building snowmen
- references Fortress Door
- Uses snow and ice built by her own power plus snowmen, which is so begging to be utilized
(imperfect wording will be hashed as ideas are likened)

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

Im all for that iteration, but if Elsa can gain 2 defense die, does she need a base of 6 defense?

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

Base stats may certainly change as powers take new forms.

I currently favor:
LIFE 3
Move 5
Range 4
Attack 2
Defense 4
