Re: The Book of Glyph of E-Ray (Design Phase)
NAME = E-RAY
SUBTITLE = GORILLA GUN INVENTION EQUIPMENT GLYPH When this glyph comes into play, place 3 brown Gorilla Markers on this card. Instead of attacking with this figure, you may choose a figure within 5 clear sight spaces. Roll the 20-sided die. If you roll 12 or higher, the chosen figure receives a wound and you may place or remove a Gorilla Marker on its card. If a Unique Hero that is not an Android has a Gorilla Marker on its card, the Hero's species is Simian, instead of what is listed on the card. JOHNNY139'S CLASSIC CUSTOM THREAD! | Visit now!

Re: The Book of Glyph of E-Ray (Design Phase)
I'm very much not sure on the art. I have the image in the first post, and another one from Dr. Grordbort's collection of replica rayguns.
They fit the semi-campy style we're going for, but they're mostly because I couldn't find any "realistic" versions of the actual item, which is specifically from an episode of Batman: The Brave and The Bold. If anyone knows where to find something more in-line with that, please, do speak up. (Though I do like Grordbort's stuff; certainly not a bad choice for any of your pulp sci-fi needs.)

I can see reasons to put EVERYTHING into the fold, but... could you turn a dog into a gorilla? An android? A plant? A bee? An Asgardian? A giant constuct made of pure energy? Currently, more than half of all C3G figures are Humans, Metahumans, or Mutates. That's plenty affecting for me. Quote:

This is a big question for me - should E-Ray get rid of powers, and if so, how many powers should it get rid of? I feel like getting rid of all of them is unthematic because there's a lot of powers that you SHOULD be able to use, but keeping them all is just as bad... I mean, can you see a Bat-Gorilla pulling off an Evasive Strike or swinging with a Bat-Grapple? JOHNNY139'S CLASSIC CUSTOM THREAD! | Visit now!

Re: The Book of Glyph of E-Ray (Design Phase)
I could back off of the point about Human specificness. In fact, just let it affect Humans and not Metas or Mutates. As you said, there are a lot of Humans right now.
However, on all the other points, I must stand. We have a gorilla right now that shoots an AK and besides, this glyph gets boggy and complicated real quick. Cutting the negation helps a lot. |

I was wondering about the negation too. Was there a reason you made it special attacks and not special powers? I don't see how becoming a Gorilla really changes you, except for making you furry and physically stronger, so i don't think the negation needs to be there at all. Like Superheroes and Comics?

Re: The Book of Glyph of E-Ray (Design Phase)
I don't care for the negation either.
I'd rather see 3 markers here - if you're going to have this in the game, might as well be able to use it a lot. I'm fine with just humans, but I'd be fine with all figures too. I'd like to see one or the other, though, to avoid long lists. I think Griff's rewrite is in the right direction (just needs some wording tweaks), or something like it that just affects humans. C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

Re: The Book of Glyph of E-Ray (Design Phase)
I can definitely get on board dropping the negation. I guess the main discussion now is who to affect. I'm more in favor of humans from a flavor perspective, but everyone from a mechanical perspective - I mean, otherwise, the Glyph won't have much use outside of gorilla armies. If we can de-mutate Mutants or de-vulnerablize Kryptonians, that's probably a lot more potent.
I could go either way on it. Thoughts? JOHNNY139'S CLASSIC CUSTOM THREAD! | Visit now!

Re: The Book of Glyph of E-Ray (Design Phase)
I say fun > theme. So let it work on everyone so you can have more fun with it. Why not?
