I mean if Neo has double attack and he downloads whirlwind assault, does that mean he could attack every figure adjacent to him twice? Or does he get to attack everyone around him and then attack one of them one more time? I'm not saying he shouldn't have both I'm just curious as to how the two abilities would work if he did have both.

Why not? How thematically cool would that be!

Neo would be able to attack all figures adjacent to him twice. I kinda like it.

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

Alright. As long as everybody is on board.

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

Would the powers stack like that or would Double Attack need to be reworded?

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

How do you mean? Could you give an example?

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

Double Attack says the figure can attack twice in a turn. Whirlwind Assault says the figure can attack any or all adjacent figures when making a normal attack. Would Double Attack actually allow you to use Whirlwind Assault and then use it again?

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

I noticed Balantai had posted a reworded double attack above that specified normal attack... thus coinciding with the wording for whirlwind assault..

Right here:
Double Attack
When Neo attacks with his normal attack, he may attack with his normal attack one additional time.

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

I like the idea of letting Neo basically have 2 "normal" attack phases, but I'm just not convinced that Double attack would allow Whirlwind Assault twice. Both modify the number of normal attacks a figure can make within an attack phase. Double Attack allows 2 attacks during the attack phase while Whirlwind Assault allows 1-6 attacks during the normal attack phase.

DOUBLE ATTACK
When Neo attacks with his normal attack, he may attack with his normal attack one additional time.

WHIRLWIND ASSAULT
This Figure may attack any or all figures adjacent to it. Roll each attack separately.

If we want to give Neo 2 attack phases, we need something different than Double Attack, IMO. Maybe something like this:
(INSERT NAME)
After taking a turn with Neo, you may take another turn with Neo in which Neo can only attack.

Or maybe he gets a modification of Frenzy that would let him take a second whole turn with a successful d20 roll.

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

I think I'd rather word Double Attack in a way that makes it clear that it doesn't stack with Whirlwind Assault.

I thought you were for it? :confused:
