POINTS = 340

ANALYTICAL AVENGER
At the start of the game, place a white Avenger Marker on the card of a friendly Unique Hero, then roll 6 combat dice and place the results in a pool. After attack dice, defense dice, or the 20-sided die is rolled for Vision or a friendly Hero within 6 clear sight spaces of Vision that has an Avenger Marker on its card, you may remove a die from the pool to add the result to your dice roll, or 2 to your 20-sided die roll.

DENSITY DISRUPTION 12
Vision can move through all figures, Fortress Walls, and obstacles, never takes leaving engagements, and cannot be moved by enemy figures. When Vision attacks a figure he moved through this turn, the defending figure must subtract a shield from its defense roll and, if it receives one or more wounds from this attack, roll the 20-sided die. If you roll 12 or higher, remove an Order Marker from its card.

REACTIONARY PHASING
If Vision is attacked by an opponent's figure and at least 1 skull is rolled, roll the 20-sided die, adding 6 to your roll if the attacking figure is not adjacent to Vision. If you roll 12 or higher, Vision takes no damage.

Neat. The only things that pop out to me are minor wording things. Nothing mechanical.

[IAmBatman]

Very cool. Love the continued factional growth here.

For Analytical Avenger, is adding skulls to a special attack modifying it? Trying to figure out if that can be used with specials or only normal attacks. Might be worth rewording it to specify normal attacks for clarity, unless the intent IS to include special attacks.

Density Disruption has two uses of "it's" that should be "its." Minor, but might as well fix it in the early going.

[MrNobody]

Just a random spitball, but what if instead of 6 dice at the start of the game, you added a smaller number (say 2?) at the start of each round? That would allow Wanda (AoA) to provide some re-roll help which seems like a neat soft synergy.

[Lord Pyre]

Very cool. Love the strategist angle here.

I’m not sure the re-rolls would be best suited there, as they tend to work best to re-roll enemy defense rolls. Especially so as the power is designed to ultimately make any results he gets still useful. Skulls and shields are obvious, but blanks can go towards d20 rolls too. He’d also still be able to benefit from the re-roll for his Reactionary Phasing roll, if that’s something one wanted to do.

That said, I do have a Scarlet (Avengers) planned to accompany him. He’ll help by adding to her d20, and she’ll help keep him alive, especially if an opponent engages him. So they should make a reasonably decent combo.

[Arch-vile]

Looks like a fun design. Density Disruption is cool theme.

[MrNobody]

Cool, I definitely trust you know Scarlet II better than I do. I’ll usually toss a few Hex Markers on allies while moving her up, but sometimes she die too quickly to get a ton of markers on enemies. Tried protecting her, but probably just haven’t done it well enough.

Sounds good then, and can’t wait for Avengers Scarlet!

I believe the default is no special attacks being modified, unless otherwise called out in the power to break that rule. So I'd imagine as worded should be fine.

I propose a vote to move to Initial Playtesting.
