Originally a World War II US Intelligence officer whose plane crashed on Paradise Island, where he met and fell in love with Diana, Steve has played various roles, from “gentleman-in-jeopardy,” to Amazon love interest, to near superhero with memberships in groups as diverse as the CIA, ARGUS, Justice League Dark, the Justice League of America, and the Justice Society of America, and Team 7. Through it all, he’s been a daring pilot with a knack for getting out of sticky situations and a deep loyalty for his Amazonian ally.

Looking good! I feel like 150 will be a bit high for him, but the mechanical VDO synergy might help him out there. Ez8 may be a good VDO for Steve since Ez8 is slow and doesn't like to move.

[IAmBatman]

Yeah, Ez sounds like a good one to try. I definitely want to try him in the Invisible Jet as well, and maybe the Vertical Jump Jet.

[Soundwarp SG-1]

Feels like Advanced Mission could just be like:

"At the start of the game, you may move Steve Trevor or any Vehicle he occupies up to (some number of) spaces"

or

"At the start of the game, you may place Steve Trevor or any Vehicle he occupies on any empty spaces on the battlefield that are within (some number of) spaces of your start zone."

Like he has a set distance he can feasibly have moved up to before the rest of the team gets there or whatever. Instead of being a totally random amount (or possibly no move at all) based on how big the map is.

[IAmBatman]

Well the goal was to not let him start out going right into an enemy start zone on some smaller maps.

Having an actual move happen seems like an unnecessary step, so I'd go with the second one you have there. How far do you think is reasonable for him to start outside of the start zone, though?

[IAmBatman]

Officially in the design phase. Holding for an answer to my question above, then I'll update and run the checklists.

[tcglkn]

I'd just let him move 5 spaces. The way you have it now, there are some maps where he would have to be placed in the back of your start zone. The map I test on a lot these days, Artic Redoubt doesn't have 10 spaces between the start zones.

[IAmBatman]

5 spaces sounds good to me. I'll update in a bit here.

[Lord Pyre]

Nice design, really dig it. Definitely a good Gundam/VDO pilot, especially with the Wonder Woman bonding. Though him not giving any boosts to his vehicle holds him back from being the go-to pilot. Cool stuff.

Agreed that a move of a certain number of spaces is probably the cleanest way to handle it. Other similar powers work that way (Black Widow 1 maybe? I'd have to look)

[Ericth74]

5 spaces seems right. Black Widow's post-initiative move is 5 which seems to work fine
