Based on the concerns of this guy before and after the last tests, I was just asking if a change that made Cash take the wounds, would help out. While he would still be able to only take 1 wound at times this way and not be too much different than he currently is, he would also end up taking many more wounds that could kill him, and it wouldn't be a choice to do so anymore. Would make who and when he's adjacent to would be much more of an important choice, he could end up getting one-shotted like a Beat Cop.

Gotcha. I was going off of what you quoted.

"Must" is an interesting suggestion, @Hahma , but it would only be a minor effect, in my opinion. Cash is a guy you want to take large amounts of wounds for you. If the guy he's protecting takes three wounds, it's usually better for Cash to take those. It might make it a little tougher to play with Jocasta and Valkyrie. Jocasta and he already cover pretty much the same role, but if Valkyrie protects him from an attack, that change would force him to protect her if she was attacked afterward.

We haven't heard from @johnny139 and @SirGalahad , but it seems we're all in agreement on changing his Life to 3. Do we want to consider more changes, like a cost increase or Hahma's 'must' suggestion?

I wouldn't be against it, but a lot of the other Heroes didn't seem to be a fan.

I'd be fine with a slight power increase.

[johnny139]

I'm good with the Life drop and good with a minor stat bump as well if we think it'd be in the better interest of the design.

[IAmBatman]

I'm fine with a stat increase. I do wish we could hear from @Scapemage on this all, though.

So do I, but he hasn't been on in a long while.

[IAmBatman]

Yeah, I know. I keep hoping I can summon him with enough mentions, though.

We thinking a bump to 4 for his base Attack and a cost of 75-85, then?

Along with Life 3? If so,

[dok]

I honestly don't think the bump in price needs to be much if you are reducing his life to 3. 75 seems like enough for sure.

[TrollBrute]

We all good with this then?
