Re: The Book of Lt. Marcus Stone - Design phase

Good suggestions fellas. The original write-up is from quite a while ago and the Rocket Launcher was suggested by someone, but I can't remember who.

Anyway, I came up with something based on the recommendations. I did more research and found that Stone doesn't like Vigilantes much either as he doesn't put up with any law-breaking. So that's why I modified Johnny's suggestion and changed the title as it may be better at showing his determination to preserve justice and the law, as well as maybe having access to modified weapons to do his job.

I also just raised his normal attack to 4, considering a lot of units with rifles and even some with pistols have attack of 4. Considering he doesn't have multiple attacks with his weapon, this seems doable and at least makes him more usable when not facing Vigilantes/Criminals.

I got rid of the Rocket Launcher and per A3n's suggestion, split up the first power.

Lieutenant's Orders is cut and dry and clear. Either Stone or a Code: Blue gets to take a turn.

Coordinated Efforts basically allows 2 Uncommon or Common Lawmen to move 2 spaces after Stone takes a turn, or the Code: Blue that was activated by Lieutenant's Orders takes a turn. That way it can clearly only work when Stone is still in play. I thought about not allowing the activated Code:Blue to be one of the 2 Uncommons to be able to move 2 spaces, but it would be clunky. So I figured if that one gets to move an additional 2 spaces after taking it's turn, it wouldn't be a big deal really.

LIEUTENANT'S ORDERS
After revealing an Order Marker on this card, instead of taking a turn with Lt. Marcus Stone, you may take a turn with a Code: Blue Officer you control.

COORDINATED EFFORTS
After revealing an Order Marker on this card and taking a turn with Lt. Marcus Stone or a Code: Blue Officer you control taking a turn with Lieutenant's Orders, you may move a total of up to 2 Uncommon or Common Lawmen you control up to 2 spaces each.

PRESERVING THE LAW
Criminal and Vigilante figures roll 1 fewer defense dice against Lt. Stone's normal attack, or 2 fewer defense dice if they are not Human.
