Re: The Book of Sage
Ah, I missed the strategy where you put OM3 on Sage and X on Brainiac 5 so that the last time you move an OM from Sage is also the last time you use the power. Either way, there are a few ways to run the numbers, but I think the key point is that while quozl's suggestion does make a difference, it seems unclear that it's enough of a difference. Especially, because the biggest issue (IMO) is what it does during your opponent's turn to your passive D20 powers and their offensive D20 powers, and the change there is very minimal at best.
C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

Re: The Book of Sage
Nice analysis Bats and V! Even if reading them gives me a headache.
Another thing to note with the Initiative boost from Sage+Brainiac is that it's not +6, it's +6 or -6. In the two game's I played with her yesterday, I intentionally gave my opponent the first turn 4 or 5 times, allowing me to get the maximum subtraction from their D20 rolls and possibly set up an Initiative switch on the next round.

Re: The Book of Sage
And I haven't played Sage and Brainiac 5 together.

Re: The Book of Sage
All of these are reasons, honestly, that I really wish Brainiac 5's powers were tied more heavily to his faction, so we could sever this connection and focus on making smaller tweaks to Sage (and potentially Commander Rogers).

Re: The Book of Sage
What small change could be made to Brainiac5 if the only change to Sage was Quozl's suggestion?

Re: The Book of Sage
For instance, what if Brainiac5 just gave a static boost, no matter how many OMs are on his card? Or you could split it--let OMs stack to boost the initiative roll, but make the bonus to d20 rolls a flat +1/-1 if there is at least one OM on his card?

Re: The Book of Sage
Another thought ... what if Brainiac/Sage could just add to D20 rolls, but couldn't subtract from them? Their being able to do both doubles their effectiveness.

Re: The Book of Sage
Brainiac 5 is so restrictive in addition already it's a moot point for him to change at all. Every time I have used him I have felt so underwhelmed with him that I want to scrap him & redesign him altogether.

Actually on reading your playtest I didn't get the opinion that the wins were due to Sage & Brainiac. In the first it reads more like the strategies used with the rest of the team, namely Mastermind, Cops & all the shear numbers provided by Multiple Man were what one the match. You even stated that Spidey wasn't affected by Sage & B5. In the second it sounded like Graviton did all the work. Now this of course may be just the way you have written the report, but as it is it wouldn't convince me change either Sage or B5, even with me thinking Sage could do with changing.
