Design notes:

Prior to her Sapphire version

Her sole purpose in life is to rid the universe of Green Lanterns. In battle, she usually uses her defensive agility and strength to outlast the charge on their power rings before destroying them.

High attack and defense represents her extensive warrior training, and the ability to outlast GL's.
SA keeps her from being just a GL counterdraft.
She can't use her SA when removing a green BM.
Points might be a little off, but in my design tests, she was pretty even beating and getting beat by various GLs.

I don't think the theme of Green Lantern Retribution is coming off with the current mechanics. The mechanics make it seem like an actual energy drain ... something the Manhunter robots would do, or magic might, or an energy leech. I'm not sure if her being difficult to kill and a good fighter draining the battery is something that translates through a D20 roll to remove a marker. Not sure what the answer is here, but I'd at least like to see us considering options ...
Should her normal range be 1?

[SirGalahad]

I was just going off that she usually had the stamina and defensive ability to battle with them until their rings lost their charge, so that's where the "remove marker" came from.

An alternative could be to have her roll additional attack/defense dice against GLs.

I suppose we could lose the ESSA to keep the range, but replace it with a GL-specific SA. Maybe that would help with the "power drain" issue?

[IAmBatman]

She just strikes me as a melee figure ... what is the normal range based on? I didn't see where she had any energy projection power or anything.
I think the current special attack makes sense (even if Superman hates her for it!).


GREEN LANTERN GRUDGE
After Fatality attacks with her normal attack, she may attack one additional time for each Green Lantern she is engaged with.

How about something like that? That would give her double attack in a melee situation against a single GL, and more than that if she caught them in a cluster, helping her to wear down their batteries more quickly.

I don't know anything about her, but that power suggestion would certainly help in wearing down the GL's batteries if she gets 2 attacks against just one adjacent GL. She can fly and the GL's range isn't that great, so they couldn't out-range her to keep her from engaging.

Wow, she's going to be a GL/Superman killing machine. Griff's going to hate her.

OP updated

Grudge isn't strong enough of a word though.

[SirGalahad]

From her unauthorized biography:

Fatality scoured the galaxy, killing Green Lanterns wherever she could find them. Her impressive combat skills allowed her to wear down her opponents and strike after their power ring's twenty-four hour charge limit ran out. Many Green Lanterns died at Fatality's hand.
[Green Lantern Vol. 3 #83-#85]

She's listed as an Assassin (she assassinates Green Lanterns), but I didn't think it made sense for her to bond with the Hand.

[Hahma]

Could she be a Hunter since she hunts GL's?

[SirGalahad]

Hunter or Warrior. Hmmm . . .

Are we expecting any future "hunter" synergies that wouldn't fit for her?

[IAmBatman]

Hunter and Warrior both work for me. I almost like Predator, but I think it's too animalistic ...

Edit: I think either class could get future synergies ...

Her bio did say that she devoured her prey, as was her custom.
