Re: The Book of The Flash (John Fox) - Design Phase

NAME = FLASH
SECRET IDENTITY = JOHN FOX

SPECIES = METAHUMAN
UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO
CLASS = SCIENTIST
PERSONALITY = DELIBERATE

SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5

LIFE = 4

MOVE = 12
RANGE = 1
ATTACK = 4
DEFENSE = 5

POINTS = 220

SUPERSPEED
Flash may move through all figures, never takes leaving engagement attacks, and does not have to stop his movement when entering water spaces. After taking a turn with Flash, if he did not use his Speed Shift Special Attack this turn, he may move up to an additional 4 spaces.

SPEED SHIFT SPECIAL ATTACK
Range 1. Attack 3.
Instead of attacking normally with Flash, you may move Flash up to 4 spaces. Flash can attack up to 3 times with this special attack at any point before, during, or after this move as long as Flash is on a space where he could end his movement. After using this special attack, place Flash on the space he occupied before using this special attack.

TEMPORAL DEFENSE
Once per round, if Flash or any friendly figure within 3 spaces of Flash is attacked by an opponent’s figure that does not have the Temporal Defense special power, and at least 1 skull is rolled, you may reveal and remove any numbered Order Marker on this card. After removing the numbered Order Marker, the opponent’s turn immediately ends and the attacked figure receives no wounds.

Re: The Book of The Flash (John Fox) - Design Phase

I like Speed Shift a lot. My main questions are whether or not he's an active time traveler (and thus deserves Temporal Defense) and whether he should be as fast as Barry and Wally.

I had the exact same questions???

Likewise.

I don't know all the Flashes, so I have no idea who this guy is and how he measures up to the other 2 previous Flashes.

Re: The Book of The Flash (John Fox) - Design Phase

To answer Johnny's questions, John Fox is technically the fourth Flash (to be created, since he lives in the future he would be fifth due to Bart). He is an active time traveler, and matched the speed of the other Flashes.

Re: The Book of The Flash (John Fox) - Design Phase

I'm happy with this. :up: My only question is if he really deserves 5 Life instead of 4.

Re: The Book of The Flash (John Fox) - Design Phase

I'd say no, he's not particularly hardy. And then in Initial see if 5 or 6 Defense is better thematically.

EDIT: Also, not that it effects the design, but John is like the 9th or 10th Flash and eventually ends up in the 853rd century in Justice Legion Alpha.

Re: The Book of The Flash (John Fox) - Design Phase

Never heard of him, but it looks good. How does he time travel, out of curiosity? Does he have the tech, or is it some weird running-so-fast-you-time-travel thingy? :p

He's only like the fourth or fifth best Flash for a reason. :-P

Re: The Book of The Flash (John Fox) - Design Phase

Dropped to 4 Life (and 220 in response), and sending to ERB now. Will do the initial here after Predator.

(summary)The game began with Barry Allen and Professor Zoom taking the field. Fox advanced and Kid Flash used Slipstreaming to keep up with him. The *Grodd took the field and tried Cognizant Control but failed. Allen runs up to Grodd and deals him one wound the *takes off four spaces.

Allen then attacks the Wizard again and takes him out, Cold blasts Allen with his Cold Gun and deals one wound. Heat Wave then moves and fires on Allen who evades with Speed Dodge. Fox engages Heat Wave who manages to block and Grodd engages and destroys Kid Flash. Fox attacks Heat Wave again dealing him one wound and Cold attempts to shoot Allen again but misses due to Speed Dodge. Cold fires a second time and this time would have nailed Allen but Fox uses Temporal Defense and ditches his number three Order Marker to block. Allen attacks Heat Wave with Fist Fusillade and destroys him. Grodd moves and Allen attacks Cold dealing one. Grodd moves again and this time gets Cognizant Control and has Allen attack and destroy Fox. Swamp Thing uses The Green and finally advances. Grodd attacks Allen who blocks and then takes out Cold with Fist Fusillade. Grodd finally takes down Allen and Swamp Thing advances. Swamp Thing eventually engages Grodd and attacks dealing him three wounds. Grodd responds by attacking and dealing Swamp Thing two wounds followed by another attack dealing him one more. Swamp Thing takes Grodd down and Mirror Master opens fire but misses. Swamp Thing uses The Green to move and heal and Mirror Master moves and fires on Swamp Thing but misses again. Swamp Thing engages Mirror Master and attacks but misses due to Mirror Image. This goes back and forth until Swamp Thing finally takes Mirror Master down.

Map: Grundy's Graveyard
Units: Vision, Spider-man (C3G), Daredevil, Echo, Man-Bat Assassins VS Batman II, Cable, Flash Barry Allen, Flash John Fox

Spoiler Alert!

(summary)Batman starts with the Glyphs of Bat-Grapple, Bat-Shruikens, and First-Aid Kit.
The game starts with the Man-Bat Assassins taking the field, who are followed by Cable. The Man-Bats move again and Barry moves and destroys one of the Man-Bats. The Man-Bats respond by using Claw Grab on Cable and Barry and Cable takes a wound. Barry runs up and destroys a Man-Bat, followed by Cable opening fire on the last Man-Bat. The first shot misses but the second takes out the last Man-Bat. Vision, Fox, and Spiderman all advance and Barry runs up and uses Fist Fusillade on Vision dealing him two wounds. Vision responds by dealing two to Barry with Physical Disruption, then Spidy grabs him with Web Slinger and takes out Barry. Fox engages Vision but his attack is blocked and Vision deals him a wound with Physical Disruption for his trouble. Fox bolts and turns his attention to Spiderman attacking with Speed Shift. His first attack deals web head one wound, the second misses due to Spider Senses, he runs up and try's a third but Spider Senses allow him to evade that one as well. Spiderman uses Web Slinger on Fox who blocks with Temporal Defense by ditching his number three Order Marker. Vision engages Fox dealing him two with Physical Disruption. Cable opens fire at Spidy who evades with Spider Senses, then uses Web Slinger on Fox who ditches his number three Order Marker to block again. Cable fires on Spidy who once again evades with Spider Senses. Spiderman uses Web Slinger on Fox again and this time takes him down. Daredevil finally takes the field, and Cable takes higher ground while engaging Vision and attacks dealing him three wounds. Vision deals three right back though with Physical Disruption and while Batman takes the field Vision takes out Cable. Batman engages and destroys Vision and Spiderman moves. Spidy uses Web Slinger on Batman but ends up taking a wound from Shadow Strike. Then with a awesome roll Batman takes Spiderman down. Eventually Batman and Daredevil square off and Batman attacks but misses due to Radar Sense. Daredevil deals Batman two wounds and the Dark Knight uses his First-Aid Kit. Although it doesn't do much good as Daredevil attacks and deals him another two. The fight goes back and forth for a bit until Daredevil gets the upper hand.
Who won and how many wounds did they have? Dredevil 2 wounds, Echo 0 wounds

Doesn't look like he amounted to much here, but there's another test coming.

My one complaint is that he will almost always use his SA, only in rare scenarios will his normal attack (and in extension, the 4 extra move on Superspeed) be useful (for me, the only time I used it was when his powers were negated). The problem is, his SA gives him the same amount of move (12 + 4), gives him 9 dice per turn total as opposed to 4, which is split into multiple attacks which is better against swarms and powers like Magical Defense, is also an SA which gets around plenty of powers, and is more versatile on when he attacks (and he can jump back if he wants).

I think changing his SA so that he "must" jump back after using it would make his normal attack more useful and make him more strategically interesting (as it is, I didn't really use it a whole lot).

Unfortunately, my report is too long so it will be split into 2 PMs.

Viegon's test brought a lot of light to the character. I like 220 strongly now. Streaky's note about Speed Shift is valid, but I like having the choice there. I propose we move to Final Editing at 220.

Re: The Book of The Flash (John Fox) - VOTE For Final Editin

I sort of feel what Viegon's getting at... I think Speed Shift would probably play a lot more interestingly (and sell us better on the theme) if it wasn't a choice.

Just a thought - up to you.

Re: The Book of The Flash (John Fox) - VOTE For Final Editin

Yeah, I really dig that suggestion too. I think he'd still be worth 220 with that change, though I could see one more test to confirm between 210 and 220 if we made that change (which I favor).

Re: The Book of The Flash (John Fox) - VOTE For Final Editin

Yep, I think the "must" is a must. :D

Re: The Book of The Flash (John Fox) - VOTE For Final Editin

[quote=Hellfire]Flash is fun and the Speed Shift SP is fun to use. Great Flash design! 220 seems to work for him. He did really well in the first test and was adequately competitive in the second despite some inconsistent rolling. Thanks for letting me try him out. :)
