Public Design Workshop

[tcglkn]

Lex actually isn't drafted right now (Griffin had him), but I have something I really like for him and he is high on my to draft list right now so I'll be drafting him very soon. You would need to really impress me to convince me to let you design him and have a solid vision for him.

[Smithy Winfred]

I'll give you my design once i'm finished, but you can check it out.

Lex Luthor (Orange lantern)

Spoiler Alert!

Orange Lantern
Lex Luthor

Life - 4
Move - 5
Range - 1
Attack - 2
Defense - 3

Human
Unique Hero
Mastermind/Ruler/Criminal
Greedy

Orange Power Battery 3
Start the Game with 3 orange battery markers on this card. Add one to this orange lanterns attack defense move and range for each Orange Battery marker and each equipment glyph on this card on this card.

Orange power shield
Any ideas?


Greed assault special attack
Range 4 attack 4+
Choose up to 3 figures within 4 clear sight spaces to be affected by this special attack, add one to this Orange lanterns attack for each equipment glyph any of the chosen figures cards. Roll attack dice once for all affected figures each figure rolls defense dice separately. If you inflict a wound on a figure with an equitment glyph on its card, you may place that glyph on this Orange lantern’s card

It's a little rocky, but I kinda like the design, and as always I'm open to suggestions, especially about the shield. I want something unique for that

[Flame Gryphon]

On that note, most Lanterns (With the exception of Kilowog and Arkillo) have two specific powers unique to that color of Lantern, and then one power unique to that character. For example, Green Power Battery/Green Power Shield and Yellow Power Battery/Yellow Power Shield. I would assume that most if not all of the Blackest Night Lanterns would follow that guide, especially since none of them were really Lanterns long enough to have more than one unique power. So, how are we doing that? I know at one point one of the Heroes was saying that they didn't want the Public creating Lanterns until at least one example of that Lantern color was released from the Sanctum, so that we could follow the above rule. And I doubt that any of the Power Battery powers will have that much difference, possibly with the exception of the Blue Lanterns, but that still leaves the Lantern unique power.

[Karat]

I know that only the green and yellow power batteries work the same way

[Smithy Winfred]

I was just going to try a new power shield for each one, except for rage. all of the specials will be similar to the YL and GL ones, except they will each have a factor unique to that lantern.

For example - Blue batteries won't increase attack. Greed will increase with equipment glyphs as well as the batteries. Rage will maybe get more powerful with damage (like hulk). Indigo will maybe add one to the initiative as well as Attack defense move and range (to represent their wisdom)

p.s for tickle, I posted my Orange Lantern design in my last post

I don't know, I think it would be better for each Lantern to have an ability that better matches them and is unique to that type of Lantern, rather than a modified version of the Power Shield. Star Sapphires should be able to do their crystal/love thing to maybe switch an opponent with one of those violet crystals similar to what the Frost Giants do with Freezing Touch, and if the figure is encased long enough, say, long enough for them to take enough wounds to be destroyed, all wounds are removed from their card and they switch sides to help the Star Sapphire that used it on them. Red Lanterns should be able to do some kind of acid rage vomit, the Blue Lanterns should have something similar to some kind of Hope Aura, etc.

[Smithy Winfred]

I really like the idea for Pink and Red (who I was never going to give a power shield). I kind of like a shield for blue since they can't attack.

Here's the rough draft for Wonder woman and The flash (pink and blue)

Wonder Woman

Spoiler Alert!

Wonder Woman (Sapphire Lantern)
Diana Lance

Life 5
Move - 5
Range - 1
Attack 2
Defense 3
Points 320

Amazonian
Unique Hero
Champion
Merciful

Sapphire Power Battery 3
Start the game with 3 Sapphire battery markers on this card. Whenever Wonder Woman is adjacent to her chosen lover, you may roll the 20 sided die adding one to your roll for each wound on this card and her chosen lover, if you roll a 17 or higher, replace one battery marker on this card

Sapphire Power Shield
Whenever Wonder Woman or any figure you control within 3 clear sight spaces of Wonder Woman would roll defense dice against normal attack, you may instead remove a Sapphire Battery marker and ignore the Attack

Lantern Lover
At the start choose any Green Lantern figure you control to be Wonder Woman’s lover. After taking a turn with Wonder Woman, if her chosen lover is within 6 clear sight spaces, you may take a immediate turn with her chosen lover.

The Flash

Spoiler Alert!

Blue Lantern
Barry Allen

Life - 4
Move - 9
Range - 1
Attack - 3
Defense 1
Points 270

Metahuman
Unique Hero
Scientist
Brilliant

Blue Power Battery 3
Blue Lantern starts the game with 3 blue power batteries on his card. Blue lanterns add one to his range move and defense for each Blue Power Battery on his card.

Blue Speed Dodge
Blue lantern never takes leaving engagements. Whenever Blue lantern rolls defense against an attack, one blank will block all damage. After rolling defense dice you may remove one blue lantern battery and roll up to two additional defense dice. After defending against an attack, you may move Blue lantern up to 4 spaces.

Blue Speed Vortex special attack
Range 2 Attack 1+
Instead of attacking normally, you may instead attack with blue speed vortex. Add 2 to blue lanterns attack for each Green Lantern figure you control within 6 clear sight spaces. After attacking with this special attack, you may attack with this special attack 2 additional times. Between each attack, you may move Blue lantern 3 spaces

Flying

Super-strength

I would love some suggestions on the powers. The third WW special is up in the air, it kind of more fits Star Sapphire. I really like the Flash design though, but if anyone else has any ideas..

[Karat]

For the blue power battery I'd drop the range boost. Also, the additional defense dice should be added before rolling for defense IMO.

[IAmBatman]

Hmm ... actually, maybe it'd be better if you guys waited and saw what we have in store for Saint Walker, Atrocitus, Indigo-1, Star Sapphire, Larfleeze, etc ....

[Karat]

I've seen some of those

[IAmBatman]

Then you know they go pretty far to establish how those different rings work ....

[Karat]

Yup.
