Re: The Book of Torque (Breathing)
NAME = TORQUE
SECRET IDENTITY = JOHN TORKELSON SPECIES = PSIOT UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO CLASS = BRUISER PERSONALITY = IMMATURE SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 6 LIFE = 3 MOVE = 5 RANGE = 1 ATTACK = 5 DEFENSE = 4 POINTS = 160 CRAZY TRAIN SPECIAL ATTACK Range 1. Attack 5 + Special. When attacking with this special attack, roll 2 additional dice if there are no Wound Markers on this card and no figure in your army has been destroyed. After rolling attack dice, you may move another figure you control up to 4 spaces, or two other figures if they are both Psiots. Figures moved with this special power must either begin or end their movement adjacent to a figure that Torque is engaged with and never take leaving engagement attacks. MACHO PSIONIC ARMOR Torque's Defense number cannot be reduced by any special power. When Torque defends against an attack, each shield rolled counts for an additional block, unless the attacking figure is a Telepath or has the Flirtatious or Seductive personality.

Re: The Book of Torque (Breathing)
Alright, we are live with the last main Psiot member of the Renegades. No changes from LCW, as the only thing really discussed was changing the Crazy Train name. I'll flip through the book and see if there's any reference that might be able to be used in its place.
Points are working off of johnny's estimate (this is his write up). 160 takes the team to 830. My hope is to use Kris to round out the team's point value at the end, so no hard preference on where he lands (I think anything in the 150-200 range is probably viable). |

Re: The Book of Torque (Breathing)
Hard one to calculate. I could get anywhere from 140-180, so 160 is a reasonable place to try.
C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

Re: The Book of Torque (Breathing)
Looks good, as I've said. Only thing I noticed is that it should be "Flirtatious or Seductive" as we try to go in alphabetical order as a default.

Re: The Book of Torque (Breathing)
Short version of info for Torque:
He's a handicapped kid who spent most of his time laying in bed, imagining a dream world called Torquehalla. When Pete activates him, he gains the ability of Psionic Projection, giving him the shell that allows him to move around and be/appear physically bigger and stronger. He has a very hypermasculine personality while also being a bit on the naive, inexperienced, and not super well educated side of things. COMPETITIVE REVIEW BOARD CHECKLIST
Spoiler Alert!
CONSISTENCY CHECKLIST (SHORT FORM)
Spoiler Alert!
So only real question from it is Yes or No to Super Strength. He's physically stopped a large military vehicle. Slapped away a humvee speeding at him. Stayed hanging on a Helicopter when shot in the back with a machine gun. Punches through walls. He's close, but I don't know if that's quite enough for our standard. |

Re: The Book of Torque (Breathing)
Hmm, does sound borderline. Do you know any of the following?
1. Could he lift 1 ton? 2. Could he throw a car? 3. Could he walk away from a big fall relatively unscathed? 4. If he punches someone do they go flying back? C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

Re: The Book of Torque (Breathing)
1. Dunno.
2. Old school version definitely has, but hasn't happened with this rendition. 3. Sorta? Like, its his Psionic shell, so its a weird middle ground. 4. Not consistently, but yes it does happen. He's also cleanly ripped off an arm before. EDIT: Armor is probably the most thematically close comparison point, and she does have it. So I'd call that a point in his favor for it. |

Re: The Book of Torque (Breathing)
Yeah, I'd lean in favor, all things considered, especially if you're are thinking more "lunchbox" for him.

Re: The Book of Torque (Breathing)
Looks good! A lot going on in that first power though. I wonder if maybe we could separate out the movement stuff just so it's clearer? Kind of weird to do that to a special attack though.
I dig it though! Obviously a good pair with Charlene. I think yes for Super Strength. |
