Re: The Book of Elongated Man (Breathing Period)
For what it’s worth, I was taking into account that a melee figure 2 spaces away could still “close the gap” to attack Elongated Man. My concern is finding another figure (Jean Grey? Graviton?) who can lock down a figure’s movement at range and keep the figure from attacking altogether. Although I suppose that’s enough What Ifs? and enough points invested to not worry about it too much.

Re: The Book of Elongated Man (Breathing Period)
If a figure 2 spaces away is engaged with EM, he doesn't need to move closer to attack with Range 1 because once you're engaged, you don't look at Range.

Re: The Book of Elongated Man (Breathing Period)
Uh... is that spelled out in the rules?

Re: The Book of Elongated Man (Breathing Period)
No. The rules do say that figures with a range of 1 can only attack adjacent figures, and that you don't need line of sight to do so. They don't say that you can always attack figures you're engaged with. The rules, in general, don't fluidly handle the idea of engagement being decoupled from adjacency.

Re: The Book of Elongated Man (Breathing Period)
Which sort of goes to Soundwarp's point I think. I really liked the idea of the power but the execution may be more difficult.
Would I want it to be everything I love...sure...but that's just not realistic so I'm going to focus on finding things that will make me unhappy and work on fixing those. |

Re: The Book of Elongated Man (Breathing Period)
I just double-checked. Ronin's right. So this would need to be changed to something like this:
RIDICULOUS REACH For purposes of engagement, Elongated Man is considered to occupy every space within 1 space of himself. If Elongated Man rolls a skull against a figure leaving an engagement with him, that figure may not leave the engagement with Elongated Man this turn. |

Re: The Book of Elongated Man (Breathing Period)
Could we just say adjacent instead of engaged in the original text?

I believe we're all agreed on what the power should do, which is that it should allow LEAs when figures leave a 2-space aura around him. Getting the right wording is tough, but I think the options could be good bets. Like Superheroes and Comics?

Re: The Book of Elongated Man (Breathing Period)
If you just want a proximity wounding power, base it off of Poison Ivy or War-Machine.
The original intent was full rngagement, including ranged figure lockdown. The SP is probably too complex/wordy right now, though, so I understand if you have to make cuts somewhere. C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

I just feel like we could get similar results to the intent(s) of the power with mechanics that spell out what it is y'all are actually trying to do. The power idea is innovative, which I'm all for, but the current mechanic feels wonky for the sake of wonkiness. I think if we divorce ourselves from the idea that the 'tie people up at range' theme has to be expressed with this 'considered to be engaged' mechanic it will lead to a better power in the long run. There isn't an interaction with Ares. Batman responded to Margloth in the same post as the one he responded to me in without a quote or what-not, so I thought he was still talking to me and that he wanted the power to have two 'layers' of engagement or something like that (which would have interacted with Ares). So no issue, just misreading his post on my part.

Re: The Book of Elongated Man (Breathing Period)
Overlapping posts is part of the confusion issue. But I understand. Any thoughts on whether changing "engaged" to "adjacent" would do the trick? Or am I trying too hard? Wouldn't be the first time, but y'all know I like to push the envelope when it comes to the mechanics of the game.
