OUTLAW FIELD COMMANDER
After revealing an Order Marker on this card, instead of moving Scandal Savage, you may rearrange any unrevealed Order Markers on Army Cards you control that are in play and immediately move any other Outlaw you control within 8 clear sight spaces of Scandal Savage up to 4 spaces.

LAMENTATION BLADES
When Scandal Savage attacks an adjacent figure, subtract 1 die from its defense. If that figure receives one or more wounds from this attack, roll one unblockable attack die against that figure.

ENHANCED DURABILITY
When Scandal Savage is attacked with a normal attack, the most wounds she can receive from that attack is one.

Cool, love it :up:

What's the reason for negating magic resistance? I don't remember any anti-magic stuff in her stories.

Re: The Book of Scandal Savage - Design Phase
 

Seems straightforward enough. I don't know the character well enough, but it's nice to see the Outlaw faction coming together. :-)

Re: The Book of Scandal Savage - Design Phase
 

Yeah, not sure what the Magical Defense bit is about.

Also, we already have an "Enhanced Durability" on MIKHLO.

Re: The Book of Scandal Savage - Design Phase
 

I like it. I'm with the others on not remembering anything that would fit the theme of anti-Magical Defense, but I haven't read all of Secret Six either.

Re: The Book of Scandal Savage - Design Phase
 

Don't know the character, but design looks :up:.

Re: The Book of Scandal Savage - Design Phase
 

I'll use Mikhlo's Enhanced Durability then. Seems to work just as well for Scandal. The negating Magical Defense was Spidey's idea. Nobody's sure what the Lamentation Blades do so Spidey suggested negating Magical Defenses might be fun.

Re: The Book of Scandal Savage - Design Phase
 

If we're against calling out Magical Defense specifically, we could have the blades negate all powers during the attack (which would make them more powerful) or we could just have them subtract 1 from defense and do nothing else.

Re: The Book of Scandal Savage - Design Phase
 

I'd be fine with negating Magical Defense if it was thematic, but I can't find any references to magic with the Lamentation Blades. As such, that's pretty powerful and a big role(anti-Magical Defense) for a character that may not fit the theme. What about:

LAMENTATION BLADES
When Scandal Savage attacks an adjacent figure, subtract 1 from its defense dice. If that figure receives one or more wounds from this attack, it receives 1 additional wound.

With this, I'd even be fine with 3 Attack (or maybe 3 Attack and -2 Defense). That way it's harder for her to hit, but it does more damage when she does, which would be thematic for Scandal.

Re: The Book of Scandal Savage - Design Phase
 

Yeah, my issue with Magical Defense is that it has a specific feel for me that I've never associated with Scandal Savage.

General power negation or additional wounds would be fine though.
