Doctor Doom (Victor Von Doom) (Unique)

I think once per activation would be plenty.

I'm cool with that as the restriction as well. Anything to make it feel less fiddly and overpowering from an onslaught of back to back rolls.

I trust you guys. This is the version to go with then?

This.

[IAmBatman]

I think so. Given the definition of "move" in the 2.0 rulebook, that should cover when they're placed, etc., as well.

Edit: Yeah, activation.

Sorry, I'm tired today, and missing things. We're ok with the possibility of multiple attempts, just not multiple successes, correct? So shouldn't it be:

ELABORATE DEATH TRAP 14
Once per activation,After an enemy ends a move of 1+ spaces within 4 clear spaces of Doctor Doom, you may roll a d20. On a 14+, place that enemy within 4 spaces of Doctor Doom and end the turn. If that enemy is placed adjacent to Doctor Doom, it takes 1 wound.

?

I'm not sure that's clear that you don't roll for the Elaborate Death Trap placement itself. I prefer the "once per activation" bit in there for maximum clarity.

[toyhandle]

If ending the turn is now mandatory, it can't trigger itself.

[IAmBatman]

Reasonable interpretation of order of operations:

Enemy ends a move of 1+ spaces within 4 clear spaces of Doom
Doom rolls for his trap and hits it
Doom places that enemy 1+ spaces away from where it was but still within 4 clear spaces of him and
triggers the roll again, before the last part of the clause

[toyhandle]

I see, that makes sense. What about:

ELABORATE DEATH TRAP 14
After an enemy ends a move of 1+ spaces within 4 clear spaces of Doctor Doom during a turn, you may roll a d20. On a 14+, place that enemy within 4 spaces of Doctor Doom and end the turn. If that enemy is placed adjacent to Doctor Doom, it takes 1 wound.

Otherwise only one attempt would be a huge nerf.

[IAmBatman]

It'd be one attempt per activation, though, not turn. Did you often roll more than once for him when playing him for Super League?

[toyhandle]

Things like Titans and Flanking Strike, Guardians with Distracting Fire and Flanking, X-Men and Angel movement, Avengers like Hawkeye, squads or common heroes like Moloids. It certainly comes up.
