The Book of Solomon Kane

[Karat]

Agreed. One marker and works on Squads and heroes. which it does currently, and I like the name Righteous Retribution more than Relentless Avenger.

[Zettian Juggernaut]

I like one marker, it's just more clean.

[Hellfire]

Yeah, I like one marker for game play's sake and allowing the marker to be placed on squads so that he can hunt down groups of characters and still maintain some theme for the character.

I just had another idea: what if Relentless Avenger/Righteous Retribution boosted his attack number by 1 or 2 for that turn instead of an auto-skull? That power and Swordplay don't play together that much right now (an auto-skull doesn't count as a skull rolled, so it can't trigger another attack), and it seems to me an attack boost would be more thematic. You described him as going into a vengeful rage, so wouldn't it be more thematic if he just kept slicing away at his enemy with more attack? It seems to me the auto-skull for one attack comes off as more precise then rage-like. Something like:

RIGHTEOUS RETRIBUTION
Start the game with 1 black Retribution Marker on this card. If a friendly figure within clear sight of Solomon Kane is attacked by an opponent's figure and receives one or more wounds, you may place your Retribution Marker on the attacking figure's card. Before attacking with Solomon Kane, you may remove your Retribution Marker from the defending figure's card and place it back on this card to add 2 to Solomon Kane's attack number for the remainder of the turn.

I do like that better, V. Slight change though:

RIGHTEOUS RETRIBUTION
Start the game with 1 black Retribution Marker on this card. If a friendly figure within clear sight of Solomon Kane is attacked by an opponent's figure and receives one or more wounds, you may place your Retribution Marker on the attacking figure's card. Before attacking a figure with your Retribution Marker on its card with Solomon Kane, you may remove your Retribution Marker from the defending figure's card and place it back on this card to add 2 to Solomon Kane's attack number for the remainder of the turn.

Put me down in favor of 5 Move, either way for the Defense, and Wanderer or Vindicator (prefer Wanderer if we have RELENTLESS AVENGER or UNRELENTING AVENGER for the power name. Prefer Vindicator otherwise).

For the previous version of the Retribution/Avenger power, you could have just had him cap at one auto skull regardless of how many markers he placed (which could have been done in quite a bit less text). This new direction works as well, though.

[Flame Gryphon]

SP updated with 5 Defense, 5 Move, correct ordering of powers, and newest version of Righteous Retribution.

Any comments before I send this out to ERB and start the initial?

I still like Vindicator better, but that's a minor thing.

On a side note, I watched a movie entitled Solomon Kane last night and really enjoyed it. Not sure how accurate it is, as I don't know the character, but it really got me hyped for him to get through the design process.

Oops, thought I updated that. Class changed to Vindicator, and thanks for the catch!

EDIT: I've heard the movie is pretty good, but I haven't watched it myself. May have to load that up sometime this week to get fully in the mood.
