Re: Helmaverse League International
Hehe, yes. I have been working on doing things to get me scaling again. I was wanting to give these girls a spin myself(i also planned to do the same for my C3G design). My progress hasn't been the fastest though.

Re: Helmaverse League International
Up next Abra Kadabra
ABRA KADABRA HUMAN UNIQUE HERO ILLUSIONIST EGOMANIACAL MEDIUM 5 Life: 4 Move: 5 Range: 1 Attack: 3 Defense: 3 Points: 110 HYPNO-RAY 18 After an opponent's Unique Hero ends a turn within 4 clear sight spaces of Abra Kadabra roll the 20-sided die. If you roll an 18 or higher, you may take temporary control of that hero and immediately take a turn with the hero. At the end of that turn, control of the Hero returns to the player who controlled the Hero before the Hypno-Ray. All Order Markers that were on the chosen Hero's card will stay on the card. SMOKE AND MIRRORS When Abra Kadabra or a figure you control within 5 clear sight spaces of Abra Kadabra is attacked, you may choose that figure and roll the 20-sided die. Add 4 to the roll if the chosen figure is Abra Kadabra. If you roll 14 or higher, you may swap the chosen figure with another figure, other than the attacking figure, within 5 clear sight spaces of Abra Kadabra. The swapped figure must defend against the attack and take damage as normal instead of the chosen figure. The chosen figure and the swapped figure will not take any leaving engagement attacks when swapped using Smoke and Mirrors. Initial design:
Spoiler Alert!

Re: Helmaverse League International
Love, love, love the way the sisters look in color. I even ran out and bought printer ink last night (I'm still amazed that one round of replacement ink cost more than the whole printer, what a scam).
So, you really had to go and start alphabetical didn't you. Abra is one of the few figures we do not yet own on your intended list. No worries, that just gives us something new to hunt down. Buying a mini for a card that is in process is way more promising than are usual habit of buying a mini with great intentions only to have it sit and collect dust for years. We've got a few of those stashed away. I just may pull a few out and see if inspiration hits me. Anyway, back to Abra and my initial thoughts. 1) We've used "Egomaniacal" as the personality on Lex Luthor. I don't know Abra that well but is his egotism more prevalent than his trickiness? I'd rather not use Tricky unless we have to. It seems overused. 2) Magician - We've used Sorcerer (official) on anyone with real magic powers so that special powers can reference them as a group. We've used Illusionist on Mysterio because we see him as tech based on not really a sorcerer. Would you like your vision of Abra to be a true Sorcerer with Strange, Fate, Rasputin, and Scarlet Witch? A tech user like Mysterio? Or do you want to start a new lower level magic user called "Magician" that doesn't get affected by powers affecting sorcerers? I'm good with any option, just wanted to help you find the fit for your vision. 3) Prestidigitation - One of these days I guess I have to get over my OCD regarding attack dice and the player option to utilize the original blue and red dice that only have skulls or shields. No, I'm not a dinosaur that actually uses those dice. My attack and defense are the same white dice with all symbols but I don't think the official game ever referenced "shields" rolled during an attack or "skulls" rolled during a defense roll. In fact, I know the C3G references "blanks" but we've yet to do that in the HelmAverse. The closest thing I think official came to it was with the flag bearers who had their own dice with special symbols on the blanks. Anyway, I'm probably being ridiculous but does it change the mechanic too much to consider something similar to Pym Particle Shrinking or Emerald Force Shield? Also, this line "Any shields added by Prestidigitation cannot be used by the attacker for any special power on their card." has me wondering how it would work for Bullseye's Flawless Aim? What is the timing of Abra's power, is it after Bullseye rerolls or can he not reroll shields on the first roll? He's not "using" the shields on the first roll but rather rerolling them. 4) Disappearing Act is a nice power. It's kiting for sure but it's only 50% effective and he's not an offensive powerhouse that would make this power scary. It will be fun to playtest this. 5) One last thing I would ask myself when drafting Abra is, when would I put an Order Marker on him? Does he have a purpose or help any strategy by bringing him into the fight? I need to strategize a bit on this as I really like the idea of having a new Flash villain added to the mix. Can we think of anything in his power set that makes him play fun against the Flash? It's not necessary but one thing we try to do is add in subtleties that make match ups fun (See my explanation as to how Grundy matches up against both Batman and Green Lantern, likewise, both Green Goblin and Sandman have abilities and play styles that work fun against Spider-Man, Bullseye sort of counters Daredevil, Lex Luthor is almost too connected to Superman and Supergirl). Ah, maybe I'm rambling now. Just trying to get my own mind thinking about possibilities. Sorry for the madness overload. Last edited by Matt Helm; August 29th, 2021 at 01:28 PM. |

Re: Helmaverse League International
Thanks for being so flexible. I think my feedback was a bit overload but I'm glad you considered it in the same way my kids do. This is the kind of thing we go through all the time and why designs like Cyclops literally took years and some of the other designs we have get tossed to the back of the line (I'm looking at you Captain Atom) or thrown into a dungeon (cough... Blade... cough).
I'm also glad that you kept the original design in the post because we may circle back and steal something from it. I definitely see some real fun potential starting to bubble up. Quote:

Re: Helmaverse League International
Rumor has it that Santa is bringing me an Abra Kadabra mini in my stocking this year. With Helm Jr. coming home from college this weekend, I'm hoping to get some holiday scape in a few times over the next few weeks. At the very least, we are going to frustrate Mrs. Helm with scape talk and brainstorming.
I guess the answer to your question is, Mr. Kadabra is next up on our list of down and dirty analysis, play testing, idea sharing, etc. We have a few other half baked ideas on other figures but what you have written here definitely places him at the head of the pack. |

As we banged around a few ideas over in the Helm household, we came up with an idea to run past you. As of now, Instead of attacking, he can use his Hypno Ray for a 25% chance of removing an OM and moving an opponent's figure away. So basically, you are using one of your turns for a low percent chance of negating the other player's future turn. It doesn't seem to be a good reward for the risk and we fear that Kadabra wouldn't warrant OMs at all. So what if he got the chance to Hyno-Ray other units on their turn rather than his? Sort of a reactive Doctor Doom power? HYPNO-RAY 18 After an opponent's Unique Hero ends a turn within 4 clear sight spaces of Abra Kadabra roll the 20-sided die. If you roll an 18 or higher, you may take temporary control of that hero and immediately take a turn with the hero. At the end of that turn, control of the Hero returns to the player who controlled the Hero before the Hypno-Ray. All Order Markers that were on the chosen Hero's card will stay on the card.
