THE WORST X-MAN EVER
After revealing an Order Marker on this card and taking a turn with Bailey, you may roll 8 combat dice. One at a time, for each skull rolled, you must, if possible, choose a figure within 3 spaces of Bailey to receive an automatic wound. You cannot choose the same figure more than twice. After using this special power, destroy Bailey.

CHANGE LOG

Re: The Book of Bailey Hoskins (48 Hr Waiting Period)
 

I'm a bit concerned about the power triggering instead of rolling defense dice. It feels to be like you would keep him in the back, then if anybody ever stuck their nose out to attack him, you'd attempt to kill them in response and have a reasonable chance of succeeding. Perhaps he should have to survive an attack before being able to bomb.

Re: The Book of Bailey Hoskins (48 Hr Waiting Period)
 

The limitation to 1 wound per figure makes it hard to use him effectively like that.

Re: The Book of Bailey Hoskins (48 Hr Waiting Period)
 

I'd go 3 Life, 3 Defense - and I agree that the limit on the number of wounds you can inflict on a single figure keeps him from being too exploitable. (Though as I'm reading it, the limit is 2 wounds per figure, not 1)

I'd go Student for class - I've got some factional plans for young X-Men as Mutant Students.

Re: The Book of Bailey Hoskins (48 Hr Waiting Period)
 

Didn't catch that part, all is well! In that case, I really like the direction here. Reminds me of original Thor's once per game lightning strike ability.

Re: The Book of Bailey Hoskins (48 Hr Waiting Period)
 

Yeah, I was going to suggest a switch to Student here. Mechanically I'd put him at 3 Life/3 Defense, just because he's, well, kind of crappy, even by crappy X-Men standards. :p

I would like to see a proof of concept of the mod/repaint, though, before moving too far forward, just so we have our ducks in a row.

Re: The Book of Bailey Hoskins (48 Hr Waiting Period)
 

I know little about C3G, so my apologies if this time period is meant only for specific members or not supposed to be open to the public, but if I understand Classic 'Scape norms correctly, I think it would be more fitting to say before rolling defense dice instead of instead of. I've never heard of substituting the defense roll before (albeit I don't follow the superhero side of things), and if I were to begin regularly using C3G units as a newcomer, the power would beget some confusion as it's currently worded. Switching it to occur before rolling any defense dice shouldn't affect the way that the power plays out.

Might be good to take a look at Parademon.

Re: The Book of Bailey Hoskins (48 Hr Waiting Period)
 

I like 3 life/3 def. as well.
