up to 2 spaces away from its current position.

should be:

within 2 spaces of its original placement.

The placement language in the flying power needs to be cleaned up too.

I used Jean Grey's Telekinesis as a resource - we consulted Jotun heavily for that one.

I am really starting to wonder if a "movement" of 4 spaces for friendly figures when using the flying power is a bit too powerful. Essentially, I could move RT 7 spaces and then fly 6 of my own figures 4 spaces each. I think this is really too powerful for the game.

What about this:

AIR ELEMENTAL FLYING
When Red Tornado starts to fly, he will not take any leaving engagement attacks. For each figure Red Tornado passed over this turn, you may place that figure on any empty space up to 2 spaces away from its current location. A figure moved by Air Elemental Flying never takes leaving engagement attacks. If Red Tornado uses Air Elemental Flying to move one or more figures, he may not use his Tornado Force Special Attack this turn.

[A3n]

Yep I agree with both of you. OP updated.

[Griffin]

Should we make it so that any falling damage may apply for the two powers?

do you mean for flyers or just non flyers. Either way for the AEF it might be difficult to exclude friendly figures .

[IAmBatman]

I'm fine with it being a "controlled" movement.

[Griffin]

I don't think it would be that difficult to exclude them. This is based on Shurrak's Knockback power.


TORNADO FORCE SPECIAL ATTACK
Range 5. Attack 4.
Choose a combination of up to 2 figures or destructible objects to attack. Roll 4 attack dice once for all affected figures or objects. Each affected figure or object rolls defense dice separately. If Red Tornado inflicts at least one wound with Tornado Force Special Attack on a small or medium figure or destructible object, you may place that figure or destructible object on any empty space within 2 spaces of its original placement. A figure moved by Tornado Force Special Attack never takes leaving engagement attacks. An opponent's non-flying figure moved lower by Tornado Force Special Attack can receive any falling damage that may apply.

AIR ELEMENTAL FLYING
When Red Tornado starts to fly, he will not take any leaving engagement attacks. For each figure Red Tornado passed over this turn, you may place that figure within 2 spaces of its original placement. A figure moved by Air Elemental Flying never takes leaving engagement attacks. An opponent's non-flying figure moved lower by Air Elemental Flying can receive any falling damage that may apply. If Red Tornado uses Air Elemental Flying to move one or more figures, he may not use his Tornado Force Special Attack this turn.

Fly him over your own Blob and your opponent's figure and move them adjacent to each other, activating Stuck.

Fly him over your own Mystique and your opponent's figure and move them adjacent to each other, activating Engagement Strike.

On a map with a lot of height, Air Elemental Flying is going to be disgusting. I think it'd break the Statue of Liberty if you can just auto fling people off of the top and make them accept falling damage.

The SoL is not a quality competitive map at all though. It is a cool map and good for scenarios with the right special rules that prevent extreme height advantage and extreme falling though, but not the standard in which we create powers for.
