The Book of Brother Voodoo

[quozl]

I really appreciate TB's eye for testing. Yea!

[TrollBrute]

LP or 16 hours.

[Lord Pyre]

Abstain, haven't had time to check this guy out yet.

But I'm super excited to finally see him, great character.

[TrollBrute]

darkraptor's tests, though I'm not sure how much we can get from them. He played some weird armies and some strange strategies. Voodoo would have been much better off attacking Strange himself in the first one, but Strange should have been attacking him back rather than sending in Superman.

[IAmBatman]

Yeah, those are kind of inconclusive. Nothing to inspire any changes, I guess.

[TrollBrute]

Dysole (who signed up, though I don't think he posted publicly) brought up a good point:

If interpretation I think (everybody adjacent regardless of whether they were adjacent or not), a better wording would be "all figures adjacent to Brother Voodoo". If it's only those adjacent at the time of activation (which I recommend against as then it creates weird cases where they go and wander off and still have his smokescreen which makes weird thematic sense and is way to easy to break gameplay wise) something like "all figures adjacent to Brother Voodoo once you use Mystical Smoke." If you are intending to use this power this way but only as long as the figure is adjacent something more like "all figures adjacent to Brother Voodoo once you use Mystical Smoke have no visible hit zones as long as they are adjacent to Brother Voodoo".

A secondary thought occurred. Is this only supposed to be your figures or opponents figures as well? If the former, then there should be a "friendly" or a "you control". If you want to include opponent's figures, well then let's just say there are some fun strategies with that.

~Dysole, who will try to get at least one game in over the weekend

The intention was for friendly figures and his fist interpretation. I told him to go with this:

MYSTICAL SMOKE
After revealing an Order Marker on a card you control, you may reveal an 'X' Order Marker on this card. Until the next time you reveal a numbered Order Marker, Brother Voodoo and all friendly figures adjacent to Brother Voodoo no longer have any visible hit zones and will not take any leaving engagement attacks.

Look good to everyone else?

[IAmBatman]

Yeah, definitely an improvement. I do still think some folks will read it the other way, though, so throwing up an FAQ would probably be a good idea.

[TrollBrute]

Tornado's tests. Without Wong or any support figures on his side, he's not really at his best, but nothing worrying right now. Hopefully Dysole and Viegon's tests will help confirm a cost.

Who won and how many wounds did they have?
Psylocke(Full).

Fun design. To me Brother Voodoo is less of a pod figure then I initially thought. The real strength is Spirit Possession. Possibly taking two turns with an enemy figure(at the cost of a wound) is a strong ability. Since the second Possession and Mystical Smoke both requires the X OM, Mystical Smoke can quickly be put on the back burner.
Mystical Smoke might be used best to help another figure avoid swipes.
Magical Defense gives Brother Voodoo the right amount of durability to pull off a couple Spirit Possessions.
Though his team lost both battles it was not the fault of Brother Voodoo. He pulled his weight in both matches.

[TrollBrute]

Viegon's results, which are more helpful. A solid win, a huge loss, and a very close win, all with solid support on his side and against armies that are susceptible to mind-control. Looking solid so far.

I think he's about perfect at 210. Like all temporary control units he'll have certain match-ups where he'll make up way more than his cost (when he's against units like Human Torch, Eradicator, Lanterns, ect.), but he'll also have match-ups where Spirit Possession just isn't useful. The limitations on it definitely keep it in check, while the ability to get a second turn keeps his power different then the others.

I wouldn't change a thing about him.

Army Test 1
- Does it pass, Yes or No? Pass
- What should be the unit's point value? 210 is fine
- Give a brief overview. Voodoo didn’t do as well as I expected this game, but the dice were kind of unfair to him. Out of possessing Spider-Man 3 times and forcing him to attack Swordsman in melee all 3 times (and twice while lower), the total damage dealt in those fights was 1 wound to Spidey (Swordsman twice blocked with no excess shields rolled). If Voodoo had had better luck, he would have easily made up his cost.

UNIT SUM-UP
Damage:
Voodoo’s Attack: Never attacked normally.
Swordsman While Possessed: 3 wounds to Luke Cage.
Spider-Man While Possessed: 1 wound to himself when attacking Swordsman.
Power Usage/Effectiveness:
Mystical Smoke: “X” used 2 times, disengagement aspect allowed Voodoo to disengage once; anti-range part wasn’t useful.
Spirit Possession: Rolled for it 4 times, 8+ rolled 3 times. “X” used 2 times, 6+ rolled 1 times.

Map: Swamp Lab (no glyphs or special rules)
Units: Brother Voodoo, Wong, Captain America (C3G), Bucky (600 points) VS Luke Cage, Swordsman, Spider-Man (C3G) (600 points)

Spoiler Alert!

QUICK GAME SUMMARY:
The first couple turns were the teams rolling out, then Voodoo took over Swordsman and used him to deal 3 wounds to Luke Cage; but in retaliation, Luke and Swordsman took down Wong the very next turn. In the second round only small amounts of wounds were dealt, even though Voodoo possessed Spidey and forced him to attack Swordsman in melee from lower ground twice (Spidey only took 1 wound from Counter Strike). Luke Cage went down in the third round, but Spidey was able to deal some wounds to Cap while Voodoo again took over Spider but failed to do anything with him. Bucky died the next round just before Swordsman went down. At that point Spidey was already wounded and things didn’t look good, and a lucky attack from Cap finished him off in the fifth round.

START OF THE GAME:
Cap forms the Avengers using his other three teammates.

During the First Round: Army 1 wins Initiative.
ARMY 1: Cap and Bucky move up.
ARMY 2: Luke and Spidey advance.
ARMY 1: Voodoo and Wong move.

ARMY 2: Luke and Swordsman kill Wong.

During the Second Round: Army 1 wins Initiative.
ARMY 1: Cap and Bucky put 1 wound on Luke and 1 wound on Swordsman.
ARMY 2: Luke and Swordsman put 1 wound on Voodoo.
ARMY 1: Voodoo fails his roll.
ARMY 2: Spidey fails.
ARMY 1: Voodoo takes over Spidey and moves him adjacent to and lower than Swordsman, but neither of them take damage; he then uses the “X” and rolls high enough, but Spidey only takes 1 wound.
ARMY 2: Spidey fails.

During the Third Round: Army 2 wins Initiative.
ARMY 2: Luke puts 1 wound on Bucky while Spidey pulls Cap over to him and deals him 2 wounds.
ARMY 1: Cap puts 3 wounds on Spidey while Bucky kills Luke.
ARMY 2: Spidey fails.

ARMY 1: Cap and Bucky fail.

During the Fourth Round: Army 1 wins Initiative.
ARMY 1: Cap and Bucky put 1 wound on Swordsman.
ARMY 2: Spidey kills Bucky.
ARMY 1: Cap kills Swordsman.
ARMY 2: Turn lost on Swordsman.

_____________________________________________________________

Army Test 2
- Does it pass, Yes or No? Pass
- What should be the unit's point value? This game doesn’t offer anything to base cost on.
- Give a brief overview. This was another game where extreme luck tainted the results. Brother Voodoo’s team rolled terribly on defense, and Brother Voodoo himself missed all three of his rolls for Spirit Possession (all he needed to do was hit it once to seriously change the game). Etrigan, on the opponent’s team, rolled absurdly good, getting 5 skulls out of 5 dice on his SA 2 out of 4 uses, and 4 skulls out of 5 one of the other times.

UNIT SUM-UP
Damage: Never attacked or successfully possessed.
Power Usage/Effectiveness:
Mystical Smoke: Wasn’t used, he was saving his “X” for Possession which he never got.
Spirit Possession: Rolled for it 3 times, 8+ rolled 0 times.

Map: Swamp Lab (no glyphs or special rules)
Units: Brother Voodoo, Indigo-1, Bane, Merlyn (900 points) VS Ms. Marvel, Etrigan, Sif (900 points)

Spoiler Alert!

QUICK GAME SUMMARY:
Not much to say. The two teams clashed on the castle, but things quickly went badly for Voodoo’s team when Etrigan entered and began dealing absurd amounts of damage with his special attack. By the end of the first round Merlyn was already dead and Indigo had lost two of her batteries. Voodoo got three turns to try and possess Etrigan, but he failed all three rolls. By the end of the second round all of Voodoo’s team was dead while both Etrigan and Sif hadn’t even taken a wound and Ms. Marvel was only at half life.

START OF THE GAME:
Ms. Marvel picks her teammates for the Avengers.

During the First Round: Army 2 wins Initiative (Sif teleports 2 spaces with Etrigan).
ARMY 2: Ms. Marvel flies forward.
ARMY 1: Indigo positions her pod and puts 2 wounds on Ms. Marvel.
ARMY 2: Ms. Marvel fails but Etrigan rolls 5 skulls on his SA, forcing Indigo to burn a marker to protect Bane (who would have taken 5 wounds); Brother Voodoo does take 1 wound still.
ARMY 1: Merlyn attacks Ms. Marvel and they both take a wound.
ARMY 2: Ms. Marvel and Etrigan kill Merlyn, put 1 wound on Brother Voodoo, and force Indigo to burn another marker.
ARMY 1: Brother Voodoo fails to possess.

During the Second Round: Army1 wins Initiative (Sif teleports into battle).
ARMY 1: Brother Voodoo fails to possess again.
ARMY 2: Ms. Marvel and Etrigan put 2 wounds on Bane and force Indigo to burn her last marker.
ARMY 1: Brother Voodoo fails his roll to possess for a third time.
ARMY 2: Ms. Marvel and Etrigan kill Bane and Voodoo and put 3 wounds on Indigo.
ARMY 1: Turn lost on Bane.
ARMY 2: Sif kills Indigo-1.

Ms. Marvel with 3 wounds, Etrigan and Sif unwounded.

_____________________________________________________________

Army Test 3
- Does it pass, Yes or No? Pass
- What should be the unit's point value? 210 works fine I think.
- Give a brief overview. When played with a strongly supportive team and against a team that doesn’t like possession, Voodoo did amazingly well; thing is, even though he did almost all the damage (or at least, a possessed Etrigan did), he had to make up the cost of his allies as they were the only reason he stuck around so long. And even then, Voodoo only barely came out with the win, if Etrigan hadn’t failed an attack of 7 attack to 4 defense right at the end, Etrigan would have claimed the win.

UNIT SUM-UP
Damage:
Voodoo’s Attack: 6 wounds to Etrigan.
Etrigan While Possessed: all 5 wounds to Ms. Marvel, all 6 wounds to Angel, 1 wound to himself through The Best Defense.
Power Usage/Effectiveness:
Mystical Smoke: “X” used 1 time to interfere with the opponent’s ranged attack.
Spirit Possession: Rolled for it 6 times, 8+ rolled 3 times. “X” used 2 times, 6+ rolled 2 times.

Map: Swamp Lab (no glyphs or special rules)
Units: Brother Voodoo, Indigo-1, Cosmic Boy, Alfred Pennyworth (870 points) VS Ms. Marvel, Etrigan, Angel (Liam) (870 points)

Spoiler Alert!

QUICK GAME SUMMARY:
While Indigo-1 was able to position her team quickly, Ms. Marvel had more trouble getting her allies into battle. To make things worse for them, Voodoo quickly started possessing the enemy and was able to use Etrigan to kill Ms. Marvel over three attacks. Voodoo healed off of Alfred twice, which was big, and Indigo-1 kept everyone else alive for awhile. Voodoo ended the third round by taking a double-turn with Etrigan to kill Angel, but Etrigan rallied the next round and took out Cosmic Boy and Alfred in the same turn. In the final round, Etrigan finished off Indigo-1 and moved even with Brother Voodoo, at which point they both only had 1 life left. Etrigan attacked but failed, and Brother Voodoo then took down the Prince to pull out a narrow win.

START OF THE GAME:
Ms. Marvel forms the Avengers around her team.

During the First Round: Army 2 wins Initiative.
ARMY 2: Ms. Marvel: Angel advances.
ARMY 1: Indigo teleports out her pod.
ARMY 2: Ms. Marvel: Etrigan charges.
ARMY 1: Voodoo uses the “X” defensively, then possess Etrigan and uses him to charge Ms. Marvel, but neither of them take wounds.
ARMY 2: Ms. Marvel: Etrigan carefully moves up.
ARMY 1: Voodoo moves up some but fails to possess.

During the Second Round: Army 1 wins Initiative.
ARMY 1: Voodoo possess Etrigan and forces him to put 3 wounds on Ms. Marvel, then uses the “X” to make him finish off Ms. Marvel, taking a wound from the Best Defense in the process.
ARMY 2: Turn lost on Ms. Marvel.
ARMY 1: Voodoo backs up next to Alfred.
ARMY 2: Turn lost on Ms. Marvel.
ARMY 1: Voodoo does nothing.
ARMY 2: Etrigan charges.

During the Third Round: Army 2 wins Initiative.
ARMY 2: Etrigan puts 1 wound on Voodoo and forces Indigo to burn a battery (he loses his “X” OM).
ARMY 1: Voodoo fails to heal or possess.
ARMY 2: Etrigan fails.
ARMY 1: Voodoo hals but fails to possess.
ARMY 2: Etrigan puts 1 wound on both Voodoo and Cosmic Boy and forces Indigo to burn another battery.
ARMY 1: Voodoo possess Etrigan, and using the “X” to get the double turn, forces him to kill Angel.

During the Fourth Round: Army 1 wins Initiative.
ARMY 1: Voodoo puts 2 wounds on Etrigan.
ARMY 2: Etrigan uses his SA to kill Alfred and Cosmic Boy and force Indigo to burn her last marker (he loses his “3” OM though).
ARMY 1: Voodoo puts 1 wound on Etrigan.
ARMY 2: Etrigan puts 1 wound on Indigo.
ARMY 1: Voodoo puts 1 wound on Etrigan.
ARMY 2: Turn lost to Indigo Light of Compassion.

During the Fifth Round: Army 2 wins Initiative.
ARMY 2: Etrigan puts 1 wound on Voodoo.
ARMY 1: Voodoo puts 1 wound on Etrigan.
ARMY 2: Etrigan kills Indigo-1 and puts 1 wound on Voodoo.
ARMY 1: Voodoo fails.
ARMY 2: Etrigan fails.
ARMY 1: Voodoo kills Etrigan.

Brother Voodoo with 1 life left.

This guy is due out in a few weeks (October 31st), so I think it'd be a good idea to see when the testers we have now will be done and move this out accordingly. I think our results are pretty consistent here, and most of them from reputable testers, so I'm pretty content with him.

[A3n]

Has he been in the Competitive forum yet?

If not I suggest getting him out there now for them to look over while the testers still have it in case they do find any issues that we need testing. Otherwise your plan is fine with me.

Dysole was traveling at some point, not sure if he's back now or not. laughing matter I haven't seen in a while. I've been hoping to get one more set of tests from someone we can trust, but time is short now. I'll ask and bump him up to priority status to see if someone bites.

That's a good idea. dok and Dysole have already seen him, but more eyes never hurts. Someone want to move him over for me?

Also, I will be on vacation form the 11th through the 18th. I'll have internet and will check in, but it would be a good idea to have a proxy LD. Anyone want to help out?
