GREEN POWER SHIELD
Anytime this Green Lantern or an adjacent, friendly figure is attacked by an opponent's figure and at least 1 skull is rolled, instead of rolling defense dice normally, you may remove one green Battery Marker from this card and ignore that attack.

FEARLESS CHARGE 17
After you take a turn with this Green Lantern, if he is not adjacent to any friendly figures and is engaged with at least one enemy figure, roll the 20-sided die and add one to the roll for each Wound Marker on this card.

Yeah, I've played with him a bunch so far and had a lot of fun as well. :-) I won't be testing any more, though, probably, until we finalize all of the powers and stats.
So ... what do people think?

Re: The Book of Green Lantern Hal Jordan - Design Phase
 

350 points seems like a lot! Why is he worth so much?

Re: The Book of Green Lantern Hal Jordan - Design Phase
 

Uh ... did you read the powers?

Re: The Book of Green Lantern Hal Jordan - Design Phase
 

Yeah and I'm not seeing it. Can you give some playtest session examples?

Re: The Book of Green Lantern Hal Jordan - Design Phase
 

Like I said, I play tested him about 30 times already, and he is easily worth 350-380 points.

Re: The Book of Green Lantern Hal Jordan - Design Phase
 

This power is key ...

GREEN POWER BATTERY 4
Start the game with 4 Green Markers on this card. Add one to Green Lantern's movement, range, attack and defense numbers for each Green Marker on this card.

This means he starts the game with 9 Move, 5 Range, 7 Attack and 7 Defense ... what would you say that's worth?

Re: The Book of Green Lantern Hal Jordan - Design Phase
 

Why don't you run him against some heavy hitters like Hulk and Superman, then you will find out for yourself without having to ask others post those results for you.

Re: The Book of Green Lantern Hal Jordan - Design Phase
 

Seriously? You've playtested him 30 times and this is what you post rather than just giving some examples from those 30 playtests?

Forget it.

Re: The Book of Green Lantern Hal Jordan - Design Phase
 

I still don't think you really understand how the card operates from reading it ... so either you're not reading it closely enough (which I doubt, since you seem pretty sharp) or it's something you're just not going to get until you play it yourself.
We could post results against Hulk and Superman all day (both of whom, GL performs well against), but you're not really going to get much better of an understanding from reading them.
Play one game and that alone will open up your eyes more than a hundred playtest posts will.
Honestly, I'm afraid 350 might be a bit low, but I'm optimistic that it could hold up to continued tests.

Re: The Book of Green Lantern Hal Jordan - Design Phase
 

Oh, I plan on it. But, sadly, I won't be able to for another 10 days. That's why I'd really like to see playtest sessions.
