Re: The Book of Phoenix - Designing

Don't know why I haven't thought of this with any of the other "replace this figure" powers, but if Sabretooth Pounces your Merciful Jean Grey, where does Phoenix go?

Re: The Book of Phoenix - Designing

Huh. I guess you'd have to roll D20s to see which power takes effect? Great question ... we already have figures released who do this too, like Billy Batson/Shazam.

PHOENIX BIRTH
You may draft a Merciful Jean Grey figure with Phoenix. If you do, Phoenix does not start the game on the battlefield. A Merciful Jean Grey that you control must use the Phoenix Fire special power, with any reference in that special power referring to your Merciful Jean Grey instead. If your Merciful Jean Grey is destroyed, immediately replace her with Phoenix on the battlefield.

For pasting:

That reads like a mouth full of marbles, but I agree, that are some "power sharing" standards that we can draw from in Doctor Doom and Rogue. I'll work on the language.

We have discussed it before.

Correct. The powers are triggering at the same time, and so a D20 has to be rolled. This can end in a devastating affect if Sabertooth wins, and the guy is a 290 monster, so I have been OK with that.

One at a time, you may roll 1 unblockable attack die against any or all placed figures.

As this power reads, there is no limit on where the 4 spaces on the battlefield could be. I think this edit is what is intended:

Re: The Book of Phoenix - Designing

Heh. Good point. I totally missed that too.

Re: The Book of Phoenix - Designing

Well since we are in final editing already, I'll go ahead and get some cards up... just kidding. :p

Most of the text was thrown together pretty last minute before and after chatting with Bats. So yeah, sorry about that.

Re: The Book of Phoenix - Designing

This is what we do. We look at the powers and nitpick them. The power wasn't clear as it was worded. So I helped clarify it. :)

Re: The Book of Phoenix - Designing

I guess I should have also said "thanks". Thanks. :)

Re: The Book of Phoenix - Designing

Everyone should know by now that as soon as it's posted, it's subject to final editing. :lol:

Re: The Book of Phoenix - Designing

I updated the Move to 6.
I updated the Defense to 6.
I updated the Phoenix Birth power so that the "Doctor Doom wordage" is mixed in to reference Jean Grey in the special power that she will be sharing/using.
I updated Psionic Blast to specify that the chosen spaces are from Phoenix.
