If you're wondering why you haven't gotten any responses yet, it's because nobody knows this is here. Please post a link to this in the C3G Inner Sanctum Discussion and Index Cave and send a PM with that same link out to all the active Heroes. That's how we do it here.

[IAmBatman]

For the write up, I really like everything I see there! My only thought is that I'd shrink the movement on Omni-Assault a bit, just to better differentiate it from Invincible's punch. This is more of an onslaught in a smaller area, IMO, as opposed to Invincible flying from far away at top speed and punching one thing really hard. So I'm thinking 6 spaces instead of 8 might be a nice move.

[Lord Pyre]

My bad; was at a coffeeshop that was about to close, so I rushed through the end of that post.

I was actually trying to mirror Invincible's SA. If we want to differentiate it, we could nix the straight line restriction, too, but it'd up his power level.

[IAmBatman]

I'd be fine nixing the straight line restriction, but if we did, I'd want to drop the move even further, to about 4 spaces.

Agree with that, otherwise the design looks fine, without knowing the character that is .

[tcglkn]

I'd be fine with 6 spaces in a straight line or 4 without that restriction. Otherwise I like everything here.

[Hahma]

Seems good with the suggested tweaks to Omni-Assault. I don't know the character at all, so I'll trust those that do when it comes to his power level and theme.

[Lord Pyre]

Doesn't matter to me which way we go, one parallels Invincible a bit better, while the other makes him simply nastier! He still has to be unengaged, though, so only 4 movement might be a bit restrictive if his opponents' are keeping close to him to prevent it.


Comic options!

[Lord Pyre]

Plenty more than 48 hours already passed, so I'm going to update! I'm nixing the straight line and changing the movement to 4. Just a little worried that it won't be helpful with such a small movement and still having the unengaged clause, but testing could show that.

Another option is to nix the unengagement, then he still has to worry about leaving engagements. But again, testing proves everything.

I'll go with 4 move and free movement for now. Then I think we now have to vote for an initial, correct? In that case I propose we move to initial phase!

[IAmBatman]

Nope. We only vote for that in the public threads. Just start the initial/send to ERB when you want.
