Dropping the leadership aspect and just using it for Super Soldier himself.

I think this is the way to go myself. He sees it coming therefore the extra shield.

To make Heat Vision more relevant, what about changing Man of War to this?

MAN OF WAR
When rolling attack dice for a normal or special attack, if at least one skull is rolled, all blanks rolled count as extra skulls.

I'm okay with this if it doesn't fluctuate the points. Thanks quozl I like it.

Is that within our agreed-upon purview for what we allow to mess with SAs? I tend to lean towards not liking it, but I also seem to be a way bigger stickler for the “no modifying SAs” rule than the majority of the group.

Heat Vision is already a pretty strong power, I don’t think it needs that at all. Being a ranged Special Attack already lets it avoid many defensive powers that the normal attack would struggle with.

I propose we move to initial playtesting with this version.

NAME = SUPER SOLDIER
SECRET IDENTITY = CLARK KENT

SPECIES = HUMAN
UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO
CLASS = SOLDIER
PERSONALITY = PATRIOTIC

SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5

LIFE = 5

MOVE = 7
RANGE = 1
ATTACK = 6
DEFENSE = 5

POINTS = 320

HEAT VISION SPECIAL ATTACK
Range 4. Attack 2 + Special.
Choose a figure to attack and roll 2 attack dice, or 3 attack dice if the chosen figure is an Android or Destructible Object. For each skull rolled, roll one additional attack die. Continue rolling an additional attack die for each additional skull rolled until no skulls are rolled. The defending figure rolls defense normally.

MAN OF WAR
When rolling attack dice for a normal attack, all blanks rolled count as extra skulls.

SAVIOR'S SHIELD
Once per round when a friendly figure adjacent to Super Soldier is attacked, you may switch Super Soldier and the targeted figure. After the figures are switched, the attacking figure must target and attack Super Soldier, if possible. Super Soldier adds one automatic shield to whatever is rolled and takes all leaving engagement attacks when moved with this special power, but the initially targeted figures does not.

FLYING
SUPER STRENGTH

My stance is clear. Won't block it from moving forward since I don't care and it's not hurting anything though.

Yea

Understandable, and thank you for not blocking. I'm sorry that we don't agree on this guy. I really do appreciate your input though.

As a reminder, you'll need to run the checklists (see my sig) before moving forward.

Also, was it resolved whether the power text for Man of War is distinct from Bunker or not?

Could go more like Superboy's Focused Heat Vision if you wanted to meet in the middle.

Crap, you're right. Jumping ahead

Super Soldier
MAN OF WAR
When rolling attack dice for a normal attack, if at least one skull is rolled, all blanks rolled count as extra skulls.

Bunker
PUMMELING FISTS
When attacking an adjacent figure, all blanks rolled count as additional hits.

Is this enough?
