Arsenic and Old Lace Cards (Unofficial)
Spoiler Alert!

The figure used for this unit is a modified HeroClix figure from the Hammer of Thor set.
Its model number and name is #058 / Gertrude Yorkes and Old Lace.

_________________________________________________________________

Character Bio - Gert Yorkes, in many ways, stands out from a crowd. Purple hair. Biting sarcasm. Genetically engineered pet dinosaur. Alongside the rest of her Runaway allies, Gert discovered the secret supervillainous life of her parents, a pair of time-travelers and members of the Pride. While she didn't get any superpowers from her lineage, she did manage to snag herself the aforementioned pet dinosaur, affectionately named Old Lace. The psychic bond between the two is inseparable.

Re: The Book of Gertrude Yorkes (Design Phase)

NAME = GERT YORKES


SPECIES = HUMAN
UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO
CLASS = RUNAWAY
PERSONALITY = CYNICAL

SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 4

LIFE = 2

MOVE = 4
RANGE = 1
ATTACK = 1
DEFENSE = 2

POINTS = 30

ARSENIC AND OLD LACE

At the start of the game, if you control Old Lace and Gert is her Companion, you may place Gert on Old Lace’s Army Card. Order Markers may still be revealed on this card normally. As long as Gert is on Old Lace's Army Card, Old Lace has the class of Runaway in addition to the class listed on her card, and when Old Lace attacks, she may attack one additional time.

RUNAWAY MORALE
When rolling for initiative, if Gert is on the battlefield or on Old Lace's Army Card, you may add 1 to your roll for each Order Marker on the Army Card of a Runaway in your army.

NAME = ARSENIC AND OLD LACE

BIO-ENGINEERED DEINONYCHUS

Arsenic and Old Lace have the secret identity of Old Lace, the species of Dinosaur, the class of Companion, and the personality of Loyal in addition to what is listed on this card. When Arsenic and Old Lace attacks, they may attack one additional time.
How does Gert become the Companion? Is she selected somehow? Please help, because I am sure I have missed something somewhere.

The edit is for number agreement.

I know that I do not know.

Old Lace has a special power that lets her choose a Companion.

If we wanted to make it clearer that the Companion bit is coming from Old Lace, we could word it more like "if you control Old Lace and Gert Yorkes is chosen for Old Lace's Runaway Companion special power".

With the Secret Identity thing - already in the game via Billy Batson and Captain Marvel (Billy Batson).

I wouldn't be opposed to clarifying that. But maybe something more like "if you control Old Lace and Gert Yorkes is her Companion," just to clarify what the hell an "Old Lace" is to someone without prior knowledge - it makes it pretty clear that it's a separate unit.

While we're talking about clarification, do we think the following is necessary on Gert's card?

"If Gert is on Old Lace's Army Card and Old Lace is destroyed, destroy Gert."

Or something like that. I've omitted it because, in all practical terms, she'll be permanently removed from the game and essentially destroyed. But maybe for corner cases?

Re: The Book of Gertrude Yorkes / Old Lace (Design Phase)

Looks good! Hits the theme nicely for both of them, and I like the drafting versatility. My only suggestion would be to make Runaway Morale maybe a little stronger; maybe change the restriction to requiring all your OMs on Runaways, and have it grant a +6 boost?

Re: The Book of Gertrude Yorkes / Old Lace (Design Phase)

Really cool.

You can Swift Carry on a Leap correct?

Gertrude will be a tasty addition to an Ares build.

Re: The Book of Gertrude Yorkes / Old Lace (Design Phase)

We could definitely pump up Runaway Morale. Any sort of initiative boost power... just a light touch. Essentially I want three units here.

Gert - Cheap enough that, if you have the points, she's essentially an auto-include for the Runaways.
Old Lace - A C unit that is draftable but not very good.
Combined - A solid Runaway unit, on par with the others.

My big concern is that Old Lace will be too good standalone. I know how potential Swift Carry is... so that's gonna be the challenge I think.

Good question on Leap! No idea if it works with Swift Carry... I think so?

Re: The Book of Gertrude Yorkes / Old Lace (Design Phase)

Yes, Swift Carry works anytime the figure is moved (as in it starts on one space and ends on another) on your turn.

Yep, Swift Carry would work with Leap.

Re: The Book of Gertrude Yorkes / Old Lace (Design Phase)

I can see why you are running them both at the same time but will they eventually have their own threads?
