I think the "non-adjacent" is a little muddy here? Not clear if they need to be non-adjacent to start with or just at the end of their move. (I think the latter, but it's not 100% clear). Might be cleaner if we went more like:

If an enemy figure ends its movement 2 to 8 spaces away from Wolverine, you may immediately move Wolverine up to 2 spaces closer to that figure.

Made the wording tweaks.

Need some votes here still.

His slashy power was so close to Venom's I went and checked to see if there actually was a difference since they both have super specific names. Wolvie can hit Gundams and Transformers and other big things and I guess he can swap targets from the way I read it. So the proportional cantankerousness of a wolverine really beats out magic alien god goop all around.

This passes. #1246

Would people be on board with changing this to a 20-sided die roll?

ADAMANTIUM FLURRY
Instead of moving and attacking, you may roll an unblockable attack die against an adjacent figure. If you roll a skull, you may use Adamantium Flurry again.

ADAMANTIUM FLURRY
Instead of moving and attacking, you may roll the 20-sided die. If you roll 14 or higher, choose an adjacent figure to receive a wound, and you may use Adamantium Flurry again.

The slightly higher roll than the straight 11 or higher 50/50 equivalent, would help reign him in a tad as Adamantium Flurry's successive rolls led to his more nasty moments, but also to account for the possibility of d20 boosters in Sage or Destiny etc. playing a factor in non-Avenger builds.

With this change it allows another in-faction usage for Vision's burn a die to add +2 to a d20 roll, and would give Beast another reason to go the d20 boost route.

I will note that Vision and Wolverine basically have no relationship with each other - I don’t believe they’ve ever been on any sort of team together. But no problem with it on the face of things.

[Arkham]

You can put an Avenger marker on anyone, so this isn't to imply Wolverine and Vision are the perfect pair or anything, it's to get more in-faction use out of the powers so random villain A or character B aren't a better pairing than the Avengers themselves, as much as possible. Hence why it wasn't the leading factor in this proposal, rather a side benefit to the more important reigning him in and giving Beast enough reason to make a d20 boost a main aspect of his card.

[Arch-vile]

I’m cool with that, I like giving more factional synergy. I might do a 13 or higher but I’ll trust whatever number you think is best.

[MrNobody]

I do hope that as we continue to build Avengers stuff here, we can start working in some more soft thematic synergies to get characters playing with their actual allies. If there’s an Avengers Mockingbird, she should play well with Hawkeye, not Thor. Really dig how that’s going with Viz and Wanda.

Have no problem with the reigning in or Beast points, that’s why I didn’t mention them.
