[Ronin]

Cool.

[japes]

Are there any comic images of her with the pegasus?

[Margloth]

So what happens if a figure is adjacent to Greatest Fear and a figure with Daring Decoy?

[Yodaking]

Good question, can't attack anything?

[Ronin]

Well, Daring Decoy only restricts your ability to attack figures without Daring Decoy. So if this DO doesn't get a size designation, then it technically isn't a figure. So Greatest Fear would take precedence over DD, as I'm reading the powers.

[Scapemage]

Same sentiments as before. I like the simplicity of Greatest Fear and how the character interacts with it.

[quozl]

I believe that was what I had worked out originally. Making it a DO gets around most powers.

[johnny139]

Yeah, the Daring Decoy thing would definitely need an FAQ, at minimum. But overall I like the power.

Psychic Arrows seems potent, but we can tweak the numbers on it. Are we sure there's not another power with that name already, though? It's pretty basic.

[Yodaking]

While the Range 8 aspect of the Arrows means it'll have more opportunities than Beast's negotiation, requiring the normal attack of 3 to first inflict a wound, and then rolling a 16+ (25%) seems like a pretty good limitations already to me. You can always try to engage him with a figure that requires no OM's to use or only give that figure OM1 each round. Their are a ton of ways you can try and break it, but that all come with their own costs and limitations. Sinister can boost his base attack number up a bunch, but he cost 340 points himself and it takes a while for him to do his thing. Destiny can be added to lower the d20 roll. You could test him with Sage, she could bump his attack up to 4 and lower the d20 roll. You can try the double boost of CA & SL for a base attack of 5 at range 8, but then no Destiny or Sage. Prof. X running him and Beast with the same OM reveal could be scary if it all goes as planned, but Beast has his own limitations to contend with.
