The Book of Hourman (Rick Tyler)

Yeah, but Bat's wording had mechanical issues and I personally don't feel got the theme across as well.

Well, he did originally, but you're right that the Android Hourman gave him a safer way of taking Miraclo by having it injected straight into his bloodstream (which is why I named the power "Miraclo Injection").

[Viegon]

Alright, I went ahead and updated the SP with the most recent version of Miraclo Injection, changed Married Duo to Bonds of Marriage (I slipped in an addition to the power to prevent him from using it with any younger versions of Jesse), and tentatively put his cost at 180. Any other thoughts or objections before a proposal for Initial?

[Viegon]

Been a couple of days and no more discussion, so, I propose we move Hourman to the Initial Playtesting Phase.

yea

Wording in the last power's a little wonky, but we can deal with that as we go.

[Karat]

In case you missed it, I'm going on abstain for a bit till I get things in order in my personal life. I just am lacking the passion at the moment due to what is going on and don't feel I can look at things objectively till they get resolved and don't want to hold things up.

Oh, sorry, I saw your post but just forgot when I was copying over the list. Sorry to hear things are rough for you right now, I hope to see you back in action soon.

This proposal passes!

I'll start working on the Initial some time soon, though I only plan to run one or two games of him without Jesse, as them together should be his best build.

@dok , @Dysole , @Soundwarp SG-1 ; any concerns or suggested builds? I plan to try him with Joker (I) and/or Mad Thinker to exploit Tachyon Hourglass, I want to make sure he doesn't cause issues there.

Seems like just a better version of Gypsy's power, yes? Oxymandias benefits a lot from that, too.

Pretty much, yeah.

Not Ozy, his power triggers before initiative, Hourman's is after initiative.

Oh, well then I'm wrong about it being purely a better version of Gypsy's power, since her's *is* before initiative, and *can* help Ozy.

One other weird idea - Apoc gives Hourman the Reality Gem.
