The Book of Gambit

[IAmBatman]

Hopefully we can get both him and Fury in at 200 to have a little bit more diversity at that point level other than Batman ...

I really like the write up too. Stats are great. I love the Staff Vault. Card SA is cool.

The one thing that doesn't make sense to me is the name "4 of a Kind Special Attack". I get that it is 4 attacks, but how does this translate to a four of a kind in a card game?

Well I could tell you that "each attack is the same, therefore the "of a kind"" but instead I will just say "because it sounds Gambit like and that means it sounds cool".

I definitely needs to sound smooth to fit Gambit's ladies man persona. It would be cooler if it made sense too.

Well I make sense of it because there are 4 special attacks that are the same and of the same kind.

The dice represent cards, right? If there are 2 cards being tossed with each attack, it's more like 2 of a kind...which sounds lame.

How about Pocket Aces or Exploding Aces or something along those lines?

When Green Arrow rolls 4 attack dice for his attack, do you also imagine 4 arrows in flight? When Hulk rolls 12 attack dice for his normal attack, do you also imagine him punching 12 times? Or when Hulk attacks with his Stomp special attack, do you imagine him stomping 3 times? Do you really equate each attack die with a single attack?

There are 4 separate attacks. = 4 separate cards
Each attack consists of 2 attack dice. = the skill and power level of each actual attack.

[Griffin]

Also, does Iron Man's Double Attack not make sense to you because you are rolling 4 attack dice for each attack? Should they have called that Octuple Attack?

I promise not to do this often but I'm loving what I see for Gambit.

[Griffin]

Me too.

Two simple and thematically flavorful powers that translate the character perfectly. I really couldn't/wouldn't ask for more.

Now that you mention in it, Green Arrow's mini does have 4 arrows lined up.

Good point.

OK, I'm moving on.

[IAmBatman]

I'm pretty sure Green Arrow has 3 arrows lined up, right ... ? But, yeah, that's something that's always bothered Griff, so best not to bring it up.
