Attack: 4
Defense: 5

Points: 150?

PRE-COG FLASH
After an opponent reveals a numbered Order Marker on the Army Card of a figure they control, and before a turn is taken with that figure, you may move Judge Anderson up to 5 spaces. When moving with Pre-cog Flash, Judge Anderson will not take any leaving engagement attacks. Pre-cog Flash can be used once per round.

LEGAL COUNSEL
After taking a turn with Judge Anderson, if she attacked an opponent's figure, you may immediately move an unrevealed Order Marker from an Army Card you control to any other Army Card you control, or any number of unrevealed Order Markers from this card to any other Army Card of a Judge you control.

ENEMY OF DEATH
Judge Anderson rolls one additional die when attacking or defending against an Undead figure.

I am thinking about something like this for EoD.

ENEMY OF DEATH
After moving and before attacking with Judge Anderson you may choose one adjacent Undead figure to be affected by Enemy of Death. Immediately after attacking if the chosen figure has been destroyed or has only one Life remaining, you may destroy Judge Anderson and remove the chosen Undead figure from the game.

It could also be worded so that anytime an adjacent Undead figure is destroyed wou can destroy Anderson to remove the figure, though that restricts its use to just JD, Grundy, and GG. I like this version as it is possible to use it to some degree against any Undead figure.

I have considered dropping the power entirely. It fits theme but is a little niche. Any chance of allowing Anderson to have Telepathic Solidarity?
I know there was an anti-dual classed sentiment before, is that still the case?

Let me know.

I'd say change EoD to your suggestion there and keep everything else the same.

[Tornado]

Thanks Smithy and L_O.
I like the self sacrifice aspect of the power as it fits the theme of the character. Plus she can use it to take out any Undead figure with one Life left.

I still would like her to be both a Judge and a Telepath but that is not a deal breaker for me as I already gave up on the idea once before. I just thought I would check to see if the temperature has changed on dual classed figures.

[Arch-vile]

I like your Anderson, Tornado. The variation of Enemy of Death looks more fun than a mundane stat boost.

I believe Anderson should be both a Telepath & a Judge, as she belongs in both factions. I do understand that it makes for a clunky power, though I think it's worth it in this case.

Thought I'd post this here as well as the Dredd'Verse workshop as more eyes see this thread.

Choose a figure to attack. YWhen attacking with Fire Trident Special Attack, you may choose one adjacent figure to also be affected by Fire Trident Special Attack. Roll attack dice once for all affected figures. REach figure rolls defense dice separately. Squad figures roll one less defense die against Fire Trident Special Attack.

LAVA RESISTANT

DIMENSIONAL TELEPORT
At the end of each round, if Judge Fire is on the battlefield and there are two or fewer Wound Markers on this card, you may place Judge Fire on any empty space on the battlefield. When Judge Fire is moved by Dimensional Teleport, he may not be placed adjacent to an opponent's figure and will not take any leaving engagement attacks.

A few wording edits here. As this is my nomination choice. He looks to be one of the simpler judges for you T, and I'd definitely like to see the Dark Judges get done

[IAmBatman]

I think this would feel more thematic:

PRE-COG FLASH
After placing Order Markers at the start of a round, if at least one Order Marker is placed on this card, you may choose one opponent and view one unrevealed Order Marker on that opponent's card. After an opponent reveals a numbered Order Marker on the Army Card of a figure they control, and before a turn is taken with that figure, if it is the Order Marker you viewed at the start of the round, you may move Judge Anderson up to 5 spaces. When moving with Pre-cog Flash, Judge Anderson will not take any leaving engagement attacks.

I wanted to revisit Mera's design since it was nominated by ZJ for the public design poll (speaking of which, since my Red Lantern Mera design was nominated as well, which one are people more interested in? I think having both in the poll would divide votes).

Spoiler Alert!

MERA

Mera #028 DC 75th Anniversary Heroclix

BIO:

Spoiler Alert!

Mera #028 DC 75th Anniversary Heroclix
Mera is the wife of Aquaman, the Queen of Atlantis and a member of the Aquaman Family known for her strength and passion. They had a son together named Arthur Curry, Jr. although he was killed by Black Manta. Originally she is from a place called Xebel in the otherwordly Dimension Aqua, and has a twin sister named Hila. She has also been a member of the Red Lantern Corps during Blackest Night. (DC Comics database)

NAME = Mera

SPECIES = Atlantean
UNIQUENESS = Unique Hero
CLASS = Queen
PERSONALITY = Devoted
SIZE/HEIGHT = Medium 5

LIFE = 5
MOVE = 5
RANGE = 1
ATTACK = 4
DEFENSE = 3
POINTS = ?

WATER STRENGTH 2
Mera does not stop her movement when entering water spaces. Add 2 dice to Mera's attack and defense while she is on a water space.

LOVE OF ATLANTIS
If Mera is within 6 clear sight spaces of an Atlantean King you control, add one to the Defense of Mera and all Atlanteans you control within 6 clear sight spaces of Mera.

HARD WATER 11
Instead of attacking, if Mera is within 2 spaces of a Water tile, you may roll the 20-sided die for all opponents' figures within 4 spaces of Mera, one at a time. If you roll 11 or higher, the figure receives one wound.

The release of Aquaman II throws a wrinkle into the "Love of Atlantis" special power, because Aquaman II is an Atlantean Warrior. I think disallowing Aquaman II from triggering Love of Atlantis is fine; Aquaman was unhinged and not much of a leader at that point in his career if I remember correctly. If we want to include Aquaman II, "or warrior" can be added to the Love of Atlantis power text.

Another thing I'd like to shift is adding 1 to Mera's life (from 4 to 5). She has alien physiology and isn't afraid to fight; she should be able to last for a while on the battlefield.

The combination of Tempest + Mera + Aquaman (I) seems pretty strong. Tempest can place water tiles, which power up Aquaman (I) & Mera. Mera gives a defense boost to all three Atlanteans. Mera then can use Hard Water to deal automatic wounds to enemy figures. I'm cool with Mera getting a higher point value but if that seems too powerful then Hard Water may need to be scaled back some (by raising the d20 roll, reducing the range, etc.)

[IAmBatman]

I like her only working with Aquaman I. Aquaman II is really where he's gone rogue. Also, I believe Dolphin was his romantic entanglement in that era.

I also support her having 5 life. Good call.

I'm happy to see any Mera!

Bio:

Spoiler Alert!

Power Girl is the Earth-Two equivalent of Supergirl, native Kryptonian and cousin to Superman. Her origins have changed several times in continuity when the Multiverse was erased Post-Crisis, and she has also been seen as a descendant of Arion with ties to Atlantis. The distinctive costume she wears lacks an emblem, and she uses this as an advantage to distract others in combat. She has been a member of the Justice League, the Justice Society, Infinity, Inc., Birds of Prey, the Suicide Squad and the Sovereign Seven. Power Girl was created by Gerry Conway, Ric Estrada and Wally Wood, first appearing in All-Star Comics #58. (1976)

SOLAR ENERGY ABSORPTION
Instead of moving and attacking with Power Girl, you may reveal the X Order Marker. For the rest of the round, Power Girl adds 1 to her Move, Attack, and Defense. After using this special this turn, you may remove 1 Wound Marker from this Army Card.

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.

KRYPTONIAN DEFENSE
When rolling defense dice against a normal attack from a figure that is not a Kryptonian, if at least one shield is rolled, all blanks rolled count as extra shields.

Superstrength
Flight

I really like the idea of the Solar Power Absorption being represented with a Krpytonian. So I figure, why not Power Girl? I figure for a cost of a turn, to absorb some more energy, effectively making her stronger, faster, tougher, and heal up a bit, it makes for a good representation for what it actually offers Kryptonians. By limiting it to the X, which no Kryptonians currently use, so it works out well, and helps you remember if you used the special this round. By allowing her to heal, it really makes her quite a threat.

I'm considering an alternate special instead of the Heat Vision. I like figures having something unique to offer their team/synergy, and the game overall. Though she's in need of a ranged attack, so I kept it for this version. With some discussing though, if the card ever gets made, I would consider maybe a Freeze Breath instead. Something to limit opponent's movement for the round. Maybe 2-3 spaces in a straight line, and all adjacent figures, with a 20-sided die roll, keeping them from moving for the round. It'd have to be a high die roll for something like that though. But I like the card the way it is now, I really dig the Solar Energy Absorption concept, so I'd like this design to get made eventually.

Thoughts and feedback?

The only potential issue I see here, is that if you reveal the X on her in turn 1, if you have all your OMs on her, as is, she could heal up to 3 wounds. Was that your intention? If so, this wording works better

At the start of the game, after Order Markers are placed and before initiative is rolled, you may place up to three Utility Equipment Glyphs of different types on this card. Batman can equip a Utility Equipment Glyph even if there are other Utility Equipment Glyphs on this card, up to a maximum of 3. Batman cannot lose these Equipment Glyphs by any means unless he is destroyed.*

WORLDS GREATEST DETECTIVE
Before taking a turn with Batman, you may may look at an opponent's Order Markers. After taking a turn with Batman, you may reveal an "X" Order Marker on this card to remove an Order Marker from an opponent's Army Card.

MASTER OF STEALTH
If Batman has not attacked this round and is not within 3 clear sight spaces of an enemy figure, or if he is currently occupying a shadow space, he may not be targeted by non-adjacent figures for attacks or special powers that require clear sight
[/spoiler]

I made the third special up to give him more of a defensive edge, and to reflect his shadow attacks, and him sneaking up on people, other than that, all the other powers have already been discussed.

Any comments?

World's Greatest Detective is overpowered - you're immediately viewing all an opponent's Order Markers, then making it so that your opponent is taking 2 turns to your 3. Also, Batman's not omniscient, he's just a good detective - it's a theme fail for him to get it right all the time. I'd suggest something more along the lines of this:

Gotham Detective

At the start of the round, before rolling for initiative, you may choose and opponent's Order Marker and guess "1", "2", "3" or "X". If you guess correctly, you may then view that Order Marker, you immediately win initiative, and until that Order Marker is revealed, any figure from the card the Order Marker was placed on defending against Batman and all figures with the Vigilante Sidekick power that you control roll one fewer defence die.

This would make him fallible, would allow him to use his knowledge agaist his opponents, and also work well against figures who rely on winning initiative to use their powers (i.e. Joker vI), which seems thematic for Batman. Really though, I'm not sure why we need another Batman.

UTILITY BELT 3

-------------------------

I used this card ^ in a game, and it is super fun, It really adds a new aspect of Batman, and it fits him perfectly. The only suggestion I have is that we should expand the JLA power to encompass Scientists as well, which adds both Atom and The Flash (who I feel is a critical member of the team).

As for a figure, how does this one work?

It is a cool pose, and it is a relatively new figure so it should be pretty easy to find. It also has the intercom piece on his ear, which sort of look likes he is commanding a team of some sort.

Why did this fade away...I would love a Justice League version. This one may be too powerful but if he had some sort of Leadership/tactitian power that was more in line with Cyclops power so that you don't get a full turn with both Batman and Superman but more of an instead of moving or instead of attacking power.

JUSTICE LEAGUE TACTICIAN
After revealing an order marker on this card, instead of moving Batman, you may rearrange any unrevealed Order Markers on Army Cards you control that are in play and you may immediately move any other Champion figure you control or any figure you control with the Valiant or Fearless personality. If you do not attack with Batman this turn you may add 1 to the Attack and Defense to any figure you control within 6 clear sight spaces of Batman.


To me this sort of thematically shows off his planning and research in a tactical way. Keep Utility Belt 3 and maybe something else like Batman Armor (1 auto shield)

Or just captain America him and give him 5 Justice League Markers so you can add Flash and Atom
