The Book of Master Splinter

[Arkham]

Minor request, can you please update your SP with the standard design for? No underlined text, all caps where appropriate etc. Keeps these things uniform from design to design, and is nicer when doing the card if everything is as it's supposed to be, such as all caps for easy copy and pasting.

Sorry - still new enough to designing that I forget that (particularly since my last 3 designs were spells where that wasn't really a thing as much).

Thanks for using the template for the OP...the Second Post template should be in the same place.

As for the spells...well that's more of a product of me doing all the spell cards and it's not as much to deal with since it's only a handful of fields total. I tend to try and limit my complaining in the hope that when I do need to complain it feels important enough for people to listen...

Oh... sorry. Somehow I missed the other template.

Well if it happens again we will have to dock your C3G paycheck. You are on the verge of losing health benefits as is...and 401K...you can kiss that goodbye.

Heath Benefits 401K C3G paycheck (Whew, wouldn't those be nice!)

Work Harder...

What about, instead of making Master of Ninjitsu into Ninjitsu + a separate attack effect + a separate defense effect, we take baseline Ninjitsu as the 'attack effect' of Splinter's MMA equivalent, and then try to work up a corresponding defensive aspect to the power? Spitballing, but maybe something like this that could let him clown some Foot Ninja:

Splinter can attack with his normal attack at any point before, during, or after his normal move as long as he is on a space where he could end his movement. Splinter can move through all figures and is never attacked when leaving an engagement. Opponents' figures without the Super Strength special power cannot move through Splinter and subtract 1 from their Attack numbers when attacking Splinter with a normal attack.

SPLINTER!!!

As with the other TMNT designs, everyone needs to remember this is not frail old Splinter from the cartoon or movie. This is comics Splinter and comics Splinter is like Batman.

I like Father's Devotion and Wisdom of the Rat fine even though they really are 2 powers each combined. Master of Ninjitsu is really complicated though. If there is room on the card, we should split it into two powers.

Interesting idea, and I like him being able to just block Phantom Walkers - that's beautifully thematic, and I'd be intrigued if he could make leaving engagement attacks when he normally couldn't as well - he's just that good that you can't slip past him - but I'm not 100% sold, especially not on the blanket attack subtraction for non-super-strength, and I'd quite like him to have a counterstrike element. I'll have to sleep on it (late in Britain! )

Yeah, damn right (well, I know him from the 2003 cartoon, but still, that Splinter fits your assessment of comics Splinter) - Splinter should be an absolute badass and one of the premier martial artists in the C3G world. I'm thinking 200 points minimum, here, and he should be able to school any of his sons 1-on-1.

You could swap out the Attack nerf part for something counterstrike-y. I just wanted to post an example of what I was talking about (though I do really like the Phantom Walk block part as well).

OK, I think I see the issue here. I think most of us are looking at this as a lunch box version (meaning that it encompasses all the different versions of a character), not a specific version. For me, this is because I don't see C3G doing multiple versions of Splinter. I mean look at the current ranks. How many iconic characters have only one version? Many! I think in shooting for a specific version from a specific medium, you may very well be capturing the Character you know and love, but not necessarily what others are envisioning. I could be wrong, but I imagine that since it took about 6 years to get the Turtles made, most of the Heroes are looking at these as lunchbox, catch-all versions of the TMNT characters.
