The Book of Poison

[Lord Pyre]

That's pretty cool.

[tcglkn]

I like that a lot.

[Soundwarp SG-1]

I dig it

[Ronin]

Cool. That take is sounding like a probable winner, then. I'll get an updated SP and proposal together this evening.

[Ronin]

Here's where I'm at:

NAME = POISON
SECRET IDENTITY = PETER PARKER

SPECIES = SYMBIOTE
UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO
CLASS = REVENANT
PERSONALITY = TERRIFYING

SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5

LIFE = 8

MOVE = 6
RANGE = 4
ATTACK = 5
DEFENSE = 3

POINTS = 285-300?

TENDRIL SWING 3
Instead of his normal move, Poison may use his Tendril Swing. Tendril Swing has a move of 3. When counting spaces for Poison's Tendril Swing movement, ignore elevations. Poison may swing over water without stopping, swing over figures without becoming engaged, and swing over obstacles such as ruins. Poison may not Tendril Swing more than 40 levels up or down in a single Tendril Swing. When Poison uses Tendril Swing, he will not take any leaving engagement attacks. After using Tendril Swing 3, you may use it one additional time.

SPIDER STINGERS 8
Instead of attacking, you may choose an adjacent opponent’s figure and roll the 20-sided die. If you roll 8 or higher, the chosen figure receives one wound. After rolling for Spider Stingers, you may roll for Spider Stingers one additional time.

VENGEFUL STING (or whatever)
Whenever Poison would receive one or more wounds from an attack, ignore one of those wounds. When Poison is attacked, you may choose not to roll defense dice. If you do not, and Poison is not destroyed by the attack, you may immediately use Poison's Spider Stingers special power.

SUPER STRENGTH

Points are a bit of a WAG. We don't have a tight point range to try to fit him into, so I think getting the defense number and the Spider Stingers number to feel right is the most important thing. Points can follow from there.

[MrNobody]

Only thought - what's the timing on choosing not to roll defense? I'd assume it's after attack dice are rolled like Deathstroke, but it would be nice to clarify. (Like Deathstroke.)

[Ronin]

Don't think he's been attacked if no dice have been rolled yet, but yeah, we can clarify anyhow.

[IAmBatman]

I get anywhere from 290-310 on the calculator, so I think you're in the right range.

[Ronin]

Alrighty, let's go to initial testing, starting at 290 then.

(No clarity update for MrNobody yet because I'm phone-bound, but I'll tweak the wording before we get to public testing)

[tcglkn]

Yea
