Change Log

Re: The Book of Capwolf (Breathing Period)
 

Why are we calling out Uncommons? To my knowledge we have never done that nor do I believe was it ever done with official heroscape language as they're basically Uniques with the exception of being able to draft multiples.

Also, I'd go Lycanthrope instead of Werewolves :2cents:

Re: The Book of Capwolf (Breathing Period)
 

Actually, we have called out Uncommons ie Lt. Stone. And yes that was an oversight it should be Lycanthropes.

Re: The Book of Capwolf (Breathing Period)
 

Looks good! Should Shield Throw Defense be restricted to non-adjacent attacks? Seems thematic for him to throw the shield to intercept a projectile, but to stop a fist?

Re: The Book of Capwolf (Breathing Period)
 

I dig him. My thoughts:

- Not sure how the healing bit works. Like, does he heal other werewolves?
- Is Wild the most appropriate personality? I'm not sure how "Captain America" he stays in werewolf form.
- I'm not sure if he's technically a lycanthrope... but I guess it depends on how we're defining lycanthropy. He was turned into a wolf-person by science, but I'm not sure if it's explicit whether they were making him a werewolf or just making him a wolf-man (the same way Spider-Man is part spider, Lizard is part lizard, so on). It's a weird corner case.

But yeah, like I said, basically on board. Thank god for weird miniatures. :D

Re: The Book of Capwolf (Breathing Period)
 

He doesn’t move, attack, or heal for them. He leads them in doing all three.

Re: The Book of Capwolf (Breathing Period)
 

Sure, but all Lycanthropes can move and attack, by the nature of the game. Healing isn't a fundamental power in that way. If, when we hit out 4000th design, we want another set of uncommon werewolves, and they DON'T heal, Capwolf is going to be healing them.

I get the shortcut. It's just a little funky.

Re: The Book of Capwolf (Breathing Period)
 

What if, rather than moving and attacking, they take turns during which they either may not move or may not attack? Then they'll be healing whenever they get activated.

Re: The Book of Capwolf (Breathing Period)
 

How’s this?

Needs wording help but I think it’s what is being suggested.
