Character Bio - Al Simmons was a top assassin for the CIA until he was betrayed by his own men. This betrayal resulted in Simmons' death. As a result of his work as an assassin he was guilty of murder and his soul was sent to Hell. While in Hell, Simmons agreed to a deal with the demon Malebolgia that allowed Simmons to see his wife again. However, every deal comes at a cost and Simmons agreed to become a Hellspawn, an officer of Hell's army and ruler of the eighth realm of Hell. This deal also came with a catch, Simmons was sent back to earth with little to no memory of his past along with a hideously scarred body and face. Spawn was born. In this new form he was given a vast array of supernatural powers and a protective symbiotic armor known as Leetha of the 7th House of K (K7-Leetha). Spawn's core powers are derived from a will-controlled magical substance from Hell known as necroplasm. This dense substance grants Spawn superhuman strength, weight, stamina, and healing. Despite his high density, his body is quite agile and he is able to fly. The necroplasm has also bestowed upon him a variety of necro-magic abilities including teleportation and necro-energy blasts. In fact, Spawn may unleash the fury of Hell if he so chooses. However, this magic is limited by a magical meter which starts at 9,999. With every usage of his limited supply of necroplasm he drains an amount of necroplasm equal to the amount used. He has since learned to feed off the evil around him in order to replenish his supply of necroplasm. As Spawn innately sought out his past, Malebolgia's mission for Spawn was made clear. Spawn was to lead the armies of hell in a war to destroy heaven and make Malebolgia king of all. Spawn refused and resisted in an effort to get back the woman he loves, his wife Wanda.

Nice Title Fret!

Based on your title you might win that race!

[Strange_Love]

I will beat you Chief. It will be the only man I playtest. :P

That is a LOT of text.

3rd power is kind of clunky - should read in turn order - move then attack (or alternate action). Not too keen on a power where he can heal half his wounds on average per turn.

Yep, I'd agree if it were not for his self wounding power and the fact that he has to sacrifice his attack to use the heal.

If you look at a whole round of using Deadpool you heal 4 wounds total. and get to attack every turn for a total of 3 attacks (with double attack).

If you look at a whole round of using Spawn you attack twice (any way you wish) dealing 2 self wounds. Then sacrifice your 3rd attack to heal a maximum average of 4 wounds (if you were 1 hit point from death).

Spawn.
2 attacks
4 wounds healed average
2 wounds self inflicted

Deadpool
3 attacks
4 wounds healed (fixed-no swing)
0 wounds self inflicted

So it is not to bad. Except the potential exists to sacrifice more than one attack to heal more than once per round. It will be fun to see this used in playtests.

Of course you could avoid attacking with his normal attack to prevent taking the self wounds. But it still equals only 2 attacks and 4 wounds healed (average at max wounds). Spawn does also benefit from the ability to not need to command all 4 order markers to heal his wounds in this way.

Can you post the link for how to customize the mini?

Not only will I be posting a picture tutorial, but I'm going to test using a dremel on him, since I think that would considerably cut down the time needed to make him. I'll get to it in the next week or two, hopefully!
