The Book of Jean Grey

[Griffin]

I now have a Jean Card up on the first page, two or three posts down.

Purdy. Though we were going to let GO put all of these on cards, though?
Also, seeing it on a card, is the amount of text in these powers going to be problematic? It's at least certainly a good thing we dropped the third power!

I figured that since I got my computer back up and running, I would do some art, even though it is going to be redone later by GO. Also, the text is still less than Catwoman's I think, but I am sure GO can fit the text as it is currently written. But you are right, it is good that the third power is gone!
Do you think that our bases are covered on this card, at least enough to play-test?

[Griffin]

Oh, as much as I like the flavor of the "+1 to whatever is rolled for Telepaths adjacent..", I could see letting one of the two or both of them go if we needed room on the card.

[IAmBatman]

I think we need to figure out the same thing about DOs in this power as we do in Magneto's. Are we going to address that in the Throw powers (that they can throw DOs) or in the special rules set?
i.e. Do we want them to be able to throw small or medium DOs without needing the optional rules addition to be in play?

[Griffin]

What if Dos had a Super Strength Symbol on them to signify the requirement of the Hero to throw them, that way Jean could throw DOs that "do not have the Super Strength Symbol on the card", where as Mags could (if he has super Strength).

[IAmBatman]

That's a possibility for the additional rules set (can't remember if I put that on there or not). But if, for instance, a fire hydrant requires superstrength to pick up (because you'd have to tear it out of the ground) is that really something Jean couldn't do?
I think if it's restricted to "small or medium figures or destructible objects" for their throws, then we can easily cover it so even if you're not using the DO optional rules they can toss, for instance, a barrel at another figure. They can toss them in a way that does damage thanks to the collision damage inclusions (if we go that way for both cards). And this way we won't have to figure out how to include throwing powers in the optional rules.
This way we could also incorporate use for Jean's Psionic Grip power within the regular game when it comes to DOs.

Just remember to maintain the text version. It's a lot easier for me to work off that because I can copy and paste your text. If all I have is the card, I have to retype everything...

[IAmBatman]

Yes, please, what he said.

Ah, gotcha. I will make sure I post the appropriate words and pic for ya.

Thank you!

Jean Grey was a hard figure to choose a background for, I didn't even know where to begin.

Also she won't have an alternate name will she?
