Re: The Book of Peter Stanchek (Design Phase)
Sounds like he should have SS based on the Jean Grey precedent.
Does he fly via mental powers? Would these tweaks work? I just altered Grodd's power a bit to fit the direction you had. PSIONIC FIELDS If Sting or any friendly figure within 3 spaces of Peter is attacked and at least 1 skull is rolled, you may reveal an "X" Order Marker on this card. If you do, the attacking figures may not attack any figure in your army. TELEPATHIC COMMAND 15 After revealing an Order Marker on this card and taking a turn with Gorilla Grodd, you may choose any Unique Hero figure in clear sight of Gorilla Grodd. Roll the 20-sided die. Add 13 to your roll if the chosen figure is friendly. If you roll 15 or higher, take temporary control of that hero and immediately take a turn with the chosen Hero. At the end of the turn, control of the chosen Hero returns to the player who controlled the Hero before the Cognizant Control. All Order Markers that were on the chosen Hero's card will stay on the card. |

Re: The Book of Peter Stanchek (Design Phase)
Indeed. If you cut that line, everything should fit, considering Dracula has 4 powers and we're working with 3 here. That means we don't need the extra in-between power space.
Like Superheroes and Comics?

Re: The Book of Peter Stanchek (Design Phase)
Can always try it on a card to check.
We should always strive to not be up against the minimum font size though. |

Re: The Book of Peter Stanchek (Design Phase)
On the SS front, more often then not it is used in my games to avoid falling damage so that is something I keep in mind when considering if it is a good fit for a character. If this figure gets thrown off a 20 story building, can they use their mental powers to 'feather fall' safely down to the ground in addition to being able to lift heavy objects with their mind? Then SS is a good way to represent that without trying to create a new power. Although in this case, since he has the flying power the falling question doesn't really matter as much unless flying is negated by a power or glyph.

Re: The Book of Peter Stanchek (Design Phase)
It sounds like a power layout like this might be a good direction:

Do people like that change in direction? I know some seemed to be a fan of having to keep controlled units close. The extra turn potential might shoot the points up too high, as I'd like to see him in the 340-390 range in the end. Last edited by LordVenoc; November 12th, 2018 at 05:38 PM. |

Re: The Book of Peter Stanchek (Design Phase)
I'm only about 8 issues in but that looks more like what I've read than the original write up. Other than the one character to start the story, he doesn't really long term take control of anyone. It's usually a temporary thing. The +10 to Friendly may need to be brought down someway. Maybe limit it to Friendly Psiots and Telepaths or something. Only because he's already a powerhouse with this powerset. Getting free reign for a 50% chance with ANY figure in addition to a full turn with him will really boost his point total.
Would I want it to be everything I love...sure...but that's just not realistic so I'm going to focus on finding things that will make me unhappy and work on fixing those. |

Re: The Book of Peter Stanchek (Design Phase)
I like the change to the defensive power. Might need to clarify that the first attack is ignored, but it feels more like personal defensive action now where Prof. X just freezes everything.

Re: The Book of Peter Stanchek (Design Phase)
I really enjoyed the permanent control that requires the figure to stay close because it’s unique and gives him a stark weakness to figures that can move him.
Mental Scream is still cool, and I think now the toll can come down to 17-19 since the effect isn’t as severe as it was before. It seems like there wouldn’t be much use for his normal attack, though, which is something I worry about. Like Superheroes and Comics?

Good catch. I'll update that in the next draft of it. Quote:
I think having a bigger range on the roll for the Scream could help. I do agree that I don't want him just doing that instead of his regular attack. It was always a big moment when he did use that in comic, so maybe reduce the roll but make it a once per round special attack? |

You got japes to read the comic, nice.
I have been trying to get someone to read a 2000AD comic for years now. |

Re: The Book of Peter Stanchek (Design Phase)
The first issue is a free download from Valiant themselves on their twitter page which I linked over in the Hangout thread. Even in the first issue you'll see a bit of why the design is this way, but a lot of the power level of him doesn't come out until later in the series.
I wish I knew where I could track down some 2000AD easily. I liked the Dredd movie, wouldn't dislike reading more. |
