Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread

@Tornado
The ideal list is:
Climb without height limits
Leap over gaps
Disengage

[Tornado]

Maybe something akin to what C3G did with Conan.

CIMMERIAN CLIMBING
When moving normally up levels of height to move onto a space with Conan, do not count a space for the first level. If Conan moves two or fewer spaces, you may count up to 15 levels of height as one space. You may ignore Conan's height of 5 when climbing.

[Confred]

Thanks, but I'm looking for something cleaner and more official looking than that.

CLIMB POWER (C5)
Faith may move through all figures and is never attacked for leaving an engagement. When moving up levels of terrain, Faith ignores height limits.

[Tornado]

What about jumping gaps?

[Confred]

Exactly. @Tornado C5 covers the basics,

But it gets difficult as more is added.

[Tornado]

Yeah, you are pressed for space. Not much room for extra text.
Perhaps there is room for something like

CLIMB POWER (C5)
Faith may move through all figures and is never attacked for leaving an engagement. When moving up levels of terrain, Faith ignores height limits and ignores elevation changes of 4 or less.

This allows her to 'fly' across broken terrain and seemingly leap over height changes of 4 or less. She only has to spend movement to climb elevations of 5+ which would be her max with 6 move.

[Confred]

@Tornado Interesting thoughts, but the prime reason for even including a leap would not be affected by that version.
Imagine 45 7-hex pieces stacked together to represent a city building. And a second tower 2 or more spaces away from the first. Faith should be able to leap from one to the other, leaving most pursuers standing at the edge unable to follow.

Sounds like you needed a modded version of Hasbro's spiderman's swing line power for that.

Possibly, let's check it out. I'm on my phone now. I'll research and report when I get to a computer.

SWING LINE 4
Instead of a normal move, Spider-Man may use his Swing Line. Swing Line has a move of 4. When counting spaces for Spider-Man's Swing Line movement, ignore elevations. Spider-Man may swing over water without stopping, swing over figures without becoming engaged, and swing over obstacles such as ruins. Spider-Man may not Swing Line more than 40 levels up or down in a single Swing Line. If Spider-Man is engaged when he starts to Swing Line, he will not take any leaving engagement attacks.

If Faith is engaged when she starts to leap, she does not take any leaving engagement attacks. After leaping, Faith may continue moving with her normal move.

This original design could be further modified by tech my Kumiko.

I like this version myself

[Confred]

Cool.
Good work team.

Next up is investigating trap conflicts with courier.
