I do like it, but I don't like that it's not clear and open to interpretation. Instead of morphing Double Attack into something that is no longer Double Attack, I'd rather just add some additional language. It just feels cleaner that way. Does that make sense?

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

I'm fine with that. What is your suggestion?

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

Double Attack
When this figure attacks with his normal attack, he may attack with his normal attack 1 additional time. When using Double Attack, you may not attack more than 2 times in the same turn.

How does this look?

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

That is a big enough difference to call it a new power, much like Evar Scarcarver's Double Assault.

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

I respectfully disagree. :D

Evar's ability only affects adjacent figures which is a significant change in Double Attack. My above wording does not change Double Attack in any way, but instead just further defines what already happens.

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

Then there is no need to change the wording.

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

Do you know why we're trying to change it, Mega? :?

We have an issue where Double Attack and Whirlwind Assault could show up on the same card so we're trying to reword Double Attack so that it's clear what you can do on your turn.

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

Ahh, I actually have a similar issue that came up on a custom superhero I created. Here was my solution:

(Unit Name) may attack any or all figures adjacent to him, or may attack one figure one additional time. Roll attack dice separately.

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

Unfortunately, with the new mechanic we've introduced, we cannot combine them into one power. They need to remain separate.

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

:?

You could rename Whirlwind Assault and mention on the end that you can't use Double Attack if you use it. That would be better.

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

That might be the best solution. :up: Any other thoughts out there?

Another Thought
 

Isn't Whirlwind Assault a power glyph? Is it too much of an issue to add onto Double Attack "when Neo attacks with Double Attack, he may not use a power on a Power Glyph" or some such wording.

~Dysole, wondering if renaming Whirlwind Assault is better
