Re: The Book of Zatanna (III) (Initial Playtesting)
If you are going to include punches and kicks, then yeah change the name to something that represents what you think is happening and leave the Bullets to Butterfly name for something that only effects ranged attacks please.

Quote:
Of course, adding in the +6 for non-adjacent will help her, but ultimately non-adjacent likely isn't gonna be the majority of rolls you see, and adjacent rolls are still by no means a guarantee at 13+. Additionally, the +6 was just a number, if we want to go with a +3, for example, that works too. No real preference. Either way, I'd rather she be more fun and useful at 250-260, than a bit underwhelming at 210, is what it ultimately comes down to. Keep in mind, there are several ways the power can fail: • Attacking someone outside of her range of 4. • Special attacks. • Auto-wounds. • Doesn't roll high enough. Also keep in mind, Zatanna with 4 life and 4 defense, unless properly supported, is pretty easy to prioritize and kill with any reasonably built army. Fan 4 and the Guardians made pretty short work of her. If we move forward with this, I always encourage anyone concerned to just try it out themselves. Quote:

Re: The Book of Zatanna (III) (Initial Playtesting)
Current wording effects special attacks as well as normal.
BULLETS TO BUTTERFLIES After an opponent rolls attack dice for a non-adjacent attack against Zatanna or a figure within 4 clear sight spaces of Zatanna, you may roll the 20-sided die. If you roll 13 or higher, subtract 2 skulls from that roll. BULLETS TO BUTTERFLIES After an opponent rolls attack dice for an attack against Zatanna or a figure within 4 clear sight spaces of Zatanna, you may roll the 20-sided die. If the attack is non-adjacent, you may add 6 to your roll. If you roll 13 or higher, subtract 2 skulls from that roll. A SA counter would be a good balancer to have. You are the only person I've ever heard complain that a MD figure is too fragile. You must absolutely hate all the 4 def/4 life figures we have that can drop to one attack instead of requiring a minimum of 4. |

Firstly, we're talking about a mid 200's figure here, not sub ~180, which is where you run into most 4/4 non Magical Defense figures. Secondly, I'm used to running armies with multiple activations, attacks, and auto-wounders, as those generally are our most reliable/solid armies, which can eat through a 4/4 Magical Defense figure fairly quick. Lastly, and most importantly, it wasn't a complaint. Saying someone "is pretty easy to prioritize and kill with any reasonably built army" is not me suggesting there's an issue(all Zatanna's have the same stats, and you have yet to see me pushing for anything higher), or that she is too fragile(This would be my 5th LD with 4/4 + MD, why would I keep doing that if I thought it was bad?), it's merely a statement to suggest there are plenty of ways to deal with/get around/eliminate the power from triggering. |

Re: The Book of Zatanna (III) (Initial Playtesting)
Looks solid. I'm cool with pushing towards a more powerful version to put her in a different niche than the existing Zatannas. Pre-yea for testing. No real preference on power titles.
C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

Re: The Book of Zatanna (III) (Initial Playtesting)
I have now completed 5 games with this version. A mix of JL focus and non.
Out of the 5 games: Bullets to Butterflies(name change in the works) was rolled for 56 times. Out of those rolls, 24 were successful. Only 5 of the 56 rolls, were for a non-adjacent attack. She went: @265 0-1 @260 0-1 @250 1-1 @240 1-0 All games were close, to close-medium finishes. No big wins or losses. Hopefully this is considered satisfactory for anyone with any concerns. I propose a vote to move to Public Playtesting at 250. |

Re: The Book of Zatanna (III) (Public Playtesting)
Clarification question with pick a number (now that the auto change is present). If she picks 20 as a number, would she theoretically be able to trigger it and have Fate steal the 20?
Technically more of a Dr Fate question, but definitely a potentially strong interaction if he can take that number. Basically gives you a guaranteed kill with some units. |
