TRIGGER MAN
After attacking a non-adjacent figure with Crossbones's normal attack, if you did not reveal an Order Marker on Crossbones this turn, he may attack one additional time.

BRUTALITY 4
When attacking an adjacent figure with Crossbones, if the Attack number on the defending figure's card is 4 or less and the defending figure does not have the Super Strength special power, that figure rolls 1 fewer defense die.

HUMAN SHIELD 12
Anytime Crossbones is attacked by a non-adjacent opponent's figure with a normal attack and at least 1 skull is rolled, you may choose an adjacent small or medium figure without the Super Strength special power and roll the 20-sided die. If you control the chosen figure you may add 5 to the roll. If the figure is a common figure you may add 5 to the roll. If you roll 12 or higher and Crossbones would receive one or more wounds from that attack, ignore one of those wounds and inflict a wound on the figure chosen for Human Shield.

Its a brilliant write up. Well done.

Glad to see him finally getting done. Thanks.

[IAmBatman]

Don't forget to link the thread in the appropriate places.

Cool to see him finally taking off! Really dig the mechanics here. Wording toward the end of Human Shield could use a bit of polishing, but it's a real solid take.

[IAmBatman]

Seems like Human Shield should trigger on unique figure you control or common figure you control, not unique hero or common figure (basically saying unique squads shouldn't be exempt).

[Ronin]

Quick suggested rewrite on Human Shield:

HUMAN SHIELD 17
When Crossbones is targeted for a non-adjacent normal attack, you may choose one adjacent small or medium figure without the Super Strength special power and roll the 20-sided die. Add 3 to your roll if the figure is a Unique figure you control, or 6 to your roll if the figure is a Common figure you control. If you roll 17 or higher, and Crossbones would receive one or more wounds from the attack, ignore one of those wounds and inflict a wound on the figure chosen for Human Shield.

[IAmBatman]

Wording suggestion looks good.

[Lazy Orang]

Mind if I suggest a change to Human Shield?

HUMAN SHIELD 17
When Crossbones is targeted for a non-adjacent normal attack, you may choose one adjacent small or medium figure without the Super Strength special power and roll the 20-sided die. Add 3 to your roll if the figure is a figure you control, and add 3 your roll if the figure is a Common figure [snip]. If you roll 17 or higher, and Crossbones would receive one or more wounds from the attack, ignore one of those wounds and inflict a wound on the figure chosen for Human Shield.

Exactly the same for your figures, but also makes you more able to use it on enemy Common figures, which I think adds a tonne of theme and strategy - he should have an easier time manhandling a S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent than he would Captain America.

[MrNobody]

I like that change. Thoughts?

[IAmBatman]

I like it too. Feels on theme for Crossbones.
