The Book of Pinhead

[Tornado]

Doh. Fixed.
They were super fun. Quite a few things to remember with all the static powers but I think after a few games they would be second nature.

I did have one question that almost came up but I ended up playing it differently.
What activates first, Child's Play or Superboy's rescue power? Or would that be a roll off?

[Arkham]

Probably a roll off.

[Tornado]

That is what I figured so I used a different strategy.

I did look over @Tornado 's report. Freddy was able to KO Nightwing in round 1. Once a figure moves or attacks, they cannot be chosen for Freddy's Coming for You for the remainder of the round. I'm guessing this is just a case where you probably weren't prepared for that? I'd think logically, you'd want to use the X right away on turn 1 and move Nightwing and 2 other Titans to eliminate them from being chosen by Freddy.

I'm thinking some of these wins could have been closer or gone the other way accounting for Freddy's luck, and just an overall newness to most of these figures as well as some who were played against them. I went 2-2 but I had the advantage of playing all these figures quite a bit individually and together, as well as the teams that went up against them, so I knew what each side could do to best deal with the other.

Brutal honesty, I completely missed this in my one game with Freddy. No way Freddy should go up in points then.
The review is helpful. My games seem like fair outliers in the circumstances so I would be okay with keeping him as is or reducing one stat by 1. I think the HCM roll shouldn't be raised since it's already difficult to chain due to the reduction from life numbers.

[Arkham]

It actually gets easier as it goes. Say a figure has 4 life, he'll need to roll a 13. If he hits it though, he now needs a 12 as the figure has 1 fewer life. The idea is with each chain latching onto the enemy, it makes it easier to get the next one.

If you missed that part about Freddy, I'm definitely leaning towards staying as-is. Anytime you have a key figure, or a leader figure, moving or attacking with them or using Angel or Martian Manhunter to move them etc. prevents them from getting chosen that round which is nice.

I did remember that in my game, but Kingpin isn't the sort of leader that likes to move much - thank heavens for the Street Thugs allowing him to do that in the mid-game. Without someone to help out in that way, static commanders like Kingpin II and Professor X can make for easy prey.

[Tornado]

Yikes. Yeah I totally blew it on Freddy.
I can run that again if you want.

[Arkham]

It's up to you. I wouldn't be opposed to seeing how much of a difference it makes.

[Tornado]

I will try to get it in tonight. If not, maybe Friday.

Re-test complete. Titans win. Only Nightwing left standing. More thoughts tomorrow.
