Re: The Book of Polaris - Initial Playtest Phase
This Passes.
Obviously, Blob+Magneto is a combo that will need tested, any others that come to mind? I think she'll play well with Xavier, Star-Lord, and Cap as well.

Re: The Book of Polaris - Initial Playtest Phase
Deathstrokes Calculated Defense would be worth checking out when given an auto shield. He would be a good fit into a Star Lord army since his race & class would be different then Star Lord & Polaris and he would have an extra defense die to play with.

C3G INITIAL PLAYTEST FEEDBACK FORM

She can be nasty against melee, but she struggles to wound them, so it just drags things out really. Map: Chernobyl Clash

___________________________________________________________ THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT'S COST, BALANCE, & DRAFTABILITY: She has serious potential, but she’s also a little fragile, and how well she does will depend in part on who she’s facing. In some matchups, her powers are really good, in others, she’s just more of an annoyance. Even going 2-3 here, I wouldn't want to see her lower than 210, and I could see her cost going up. Her power level feels fine to me. Strong at times, but not overpowered. I would like to raise the roll on Reactive Toss to 14, so that she’s less strong against melee builds. GENERAL THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT: I love all the options that Magnetic Bubble gives you with this version. There’s a lot you can do to frustrate your opponent, and a lot you can do to support your allies. Limited to once per round, it adds some fun decision making. I like how defensive/protective she came out.

Re: The Book of Polaris - Design Phase
I also realized that Reactive Toss didn't play exactly as intended. I'd like to change it to:

Re: The Book of Polaris - Initial Playtest Phase
Increasing the roll makes sense to me; figure movement is always potent. Low-200s seems consistent, too, so I'd be comfortable sending her out in that range.

Re: The Book of Polaris - Initial Playtest Phase
To be fair, that seems like something Gambit would do. The Engagement Strike wording would change the timing of it and allow them to continue moving afterward, unless we worded it like this:

Re: The Book of Polaris - Initial Playtest Phase
That would make her an interesting blocker that somewhat protects easy access to a support figure from ghostwalker/disengage land based assassins. They would have to go the long way around her or risk getting bounced back and ending their movement phase.

Re: The Book of Polaris - Initial Playtest Phase
Looking good in testing so far. I'd support bumping the roll on Reactive Toss, but I'd stick with 210 for points for now.

I'm fine with either wording, it just depends on what mechanics we want. C3G: Taking Superheroes to a Whole New Level! C3V: The Legacy of Classic 'Scape! Viegon & Family's Classic Customs, Maps, and Battlefield Videos. Enjoy App Games? Try A Day in the Life of Atlas! |

Re: The Book of Polaris - Initial Playtest Phase
I was also thinking 210 after looking over the Initial PT last night.

Re: The Book of Polaris - Initial Playtest Phase
I could go with either. Anyone have any strong opinions between these two?
