Re: The Book of Emil Hamilton (Breathing)
NAME = EMIL HAMILTON
SPECIES = HUMAN UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO CLASS = SCIENTIST PERSONALITY = CONFLICTED SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5 LIFE = 3 MOVE = 5 RANGE = 1 ATTACK = 1 DEFENSE = 2 POINTS = 60 ADVANCED SCIENCE SUPPORT At the start of the game, place up to two Invention Equipment Glyphs of different types into a Glyph Pool, power-side up, and set them aside. Before moving normally with a Unique Kryptonian Champion Hero, if it is adjacent to Emil Hamilton, you may place a glyph from his Glyph Pool on its card. If it is not adjacent to Hamilton, you may reveal an "X" Order Marker on that card to place a glyph from his Glyph Pool on its card. COUNTERMEASURE DEVELOPMENT At the start of the game, choose an opponent’s figure to be Emil Hamilton’s Subject. Once per game at the start of any turn, you may choose for all special powers on his Subject's card to be negated until the end of that player turn or when the figure would receive enough wounds to be destroyed. |

Re: The Book of Emil Hamilton (Breathing)
Alrighty, tweaked the second power name per LCW, but otherwise no changes since I brought it up there. I am thinking some limits on who he can give gear to might be a good idea to help keep costs in check (as I do want him to be a cheaper figure), but otherwise I'm pretty happy with the general feel here and how he will fit into Family stuff.

Re: The Book of Emil Hamilton (Breathing)
Cool design! He seems extremely swingy, but I don't know that character and if that's fine. Seems very thematic though.
|
Re: The Book of Emil Hamilton (Breathing)
Definitely do need to limit Countermeasure Development to Unique Heroes, as he shouldn't be pulling that on Event Heroes IMO. Countermeasures will probably be a relatively rare occurrence, so yeah I do get the swingy feel there.
|
Re: The Book of Emil Hamilton (Breathing)
Definitely Uniques! :up:
Any power with a high roll is inherently swingy, but when it's a very potent power like this the swingyness is exponentially bigger. This guy seems like he should be cheap, but I think his potential will drive up his cost a tad. Kind of a bummer if most games he barely does anything, and then one game he's killer. Also figures are more fun to play if you can use their powers more often (Doesn't need to be all the time, but something I like to keep in mind personally when designing!) Just some things to watch! |
Re: The Book of Emil Hamilton (Breathing)
I could see making it something more automatic to help even it out. Then it doesn't really feel overly stronger than say, Hawkeye's SA that negates. Like:

Re: The Book of Emil Hamilton (Breathing)
I think I like that better. Also lets you time it, since otherwise you might only hit that roll when all you have left is Emil, who isn't exactly doing much damage.
Though I do like the round timer mechanic. |
Re: The Book of Emil Hamilton (Breathing)
Only other way I could think to keep the timer would be giving him like, Counter Markers each round, then he can spend as many as he can to negate his subject in one round, but looses them all at the end of the round. Like:

Re: The Book of Emil Hamilton (Breathing)
What if you just significantly lowered the needed roll so after a certain number of rounds the roll was automatic?
COUNTERMEASURE DEVELOPMENT At the start of the game, choose an opponent’s figure to be Hamilton’s Subject. At the start of each round, you may roll the 20 sided die, adding X to your roll, where X is equal to the current round. If you roll a 6 or higher, you may negate all powers on Hamilton's Subject's card during your turns until the end of the round. Figures may only have powers negated by this effect once per game. Something like that? Honestly I think the bigger risk with the power right now is choosing to roll too early, hitting it before you expect to, and not really being set up to take advantage of it. So you really have to choose not to roll for it for a round or two until you're in position. I dig the general direction. What's the current list of Glyphs of Invention? |
