I say either leave her be, or cut both the rock and the ducks off.

Probably delete this post for stupidity factor.

NEED A BOOST?
Small and medium single spaced figures may move on top of and be placed on top of Molly Hayes as if she were terrain with a height of 4. Molly Hayes and a figure on top of her are considered to be adjacent. When Molly Hayes moves, a figure on top of her will be moved along with her. If Molly Hayes is destroyed while a figure is on top of her, place the figure on the space that Molly Hayes occupied.

Now that's a new thematic I'd love to use!

Awesome mechanic (With a clause about figure size, and single space probably needed, though), but I don't think it fits the character.

How would ladders work? Well, maybe the figure can't use ladders anyhow with that concrete slab.

Need a Boost? would need to specify that.

What's happening here?

[johnny139]

I like the concept of Need a Boost?, but don't really think it fits with the character. I could be swayed if everyone else is for it, though.

Otherwise, I think the front page is where we're at.

POWER FATIGUE
After taking a turn with Molly Hayes, place one gray Fatigue Marker on this card. At the end of a round in which you took a turn with Molly Hayes, roll the 20-sided die. Subtract 1 from your roll for each Fatigue Marker on this card. If you roll less than 6, remove all Fatigue Markers from this card and you may not take any turns with Molly Hayes or use the Invulnerable special ability in the subsequent round. A maximum of 6 Fatigue Markers can be placed on this card.

As written, you are only removing the markers if she rolls less than 6 at the end of the round. If she has all 6 markers on her card and rolls a 16 (10 after subtracting), the markers stay on her card, and she's able to take a turn next round, right?

If she stays hot with the 20-sided die, and is able to continue to take turns even with 6 Fatigue Markers, there is the potential of having someone arguing about whether she took a turn in a round as no additional markers are going to be placed (and no OMs because of Prof X).

It may never come up, and hopefully everyone's memory is good for at least a round, but it is something to think about.

In my opinion, Invulnerable is really lacking. Most of the time 3 shields is going to block all damage, anyway. I think I'd like to see a different mechanic for an ability that could very possibly show up on multiple other cards due to it's general term.

What about adding or subtracting from a d20 roll that would instantly destroy. Or any Special Power that would instantly destroy, instead adds 1 wound. Or even, if 2 shields are rolled, the most wounds she can take from the attack is one.

I think an easy mechanic that is used fairly often in play is necessary for an ability that can fairly often show up on a card. Afterall, if another Superman is created by C3G, it's quite possible that he shows up with this Invulnerability special power.

Here's an attempt at rewording Power Fatigue so that there's no need to remember anything.

POWER FATIGUE
After taking a turn with Molly Hayes, place one Fatigue Marker on this card. At the start of every round, before Order Markers are assigned, if there is at least 1 Fatigue Marker on this card, roll the 20-sided die. Subtract 1 from your roll for each Fatigue Marker on this card. If you roll a 6 or less, remove all Fatigue Markers from this card and you may not place any Order Markers on Molly Hayes' card this turn. If there are no Order Markers on this card, Molly Hayes may not use her Invulnerability Special Power.

Keeps from having to remember whether or not to roll at the end of a round - the markers are either there or they aren't.

'd

Order Markers are "placed" though.

Here's what I get from combining those two. I think doing it at the start of a Round is a lot simpler; makes a lot more sense, y'know.

That is a worry, definitely, but I'm not sure if it's a big enough worry to come up with another marker or other indicator for players. Any other thoughts on that?

I could definitely see either of those working. So, that's four different Invulnerable ideas.

Spoiler Alert!

INVULNERABLE
When rolling defense dice against a normal attack, all blanks rolled count as extra shields.

INVULNERABLE 3
When rolling defense dice against a normal attack, three shields will block all damage.

INVULNERABLE
If Molly Hayes would be destroyed by any opponent's special power, instead, she instead receives one wound.

INVULNERABLE
When rolling defense dice, if Molly Hayes rolls at least two shields, the most wounds she may take for this attack is one.

Honestly, I could go with any of them, but I think the first and third are my personal favorites.
