The Book of Red Lantern (Mera)

Could I suggest Raging Seas instead of Depths of Rage? It’s an actual sailing term, which seems appropriate.

Haven't been following the faction development here, but I assume Ravager is a common class for Red Lanterns and Raging Plasma is a new take on the angry-blood-vomit, instead of the one currently on Atrocitus? Because her mini has a lot of angry-blood-vomit.

Speaking of the figure, she's definitely Medium 4. Technically more like Medium 3. She's tiny.

Overall I can dig it. Not sure if we really need the water boost to Mera - yeah, she's an Atlantean, but I feel like it's not something that comes up during her brief tenure as a Red Lantern.

If it were more water focused, raging seas would be more appropriate. As-is, depths of rage is fitting. Depths being associated with water in a subtle way, works better here.

Updated to Medium 4.

The water boost is just a light touch to still get that Atlantean vibe. Nothing I’m gonna hang my hat on as those powers are more situational than I find that useful, but it still feels appropriate and simple enough.

I also think this would be a better fit for a woman whose main power (other than the red lantern ring) is manipulation of water.

RAGING SEA
Add 1 to this Red Lantern's Attack number while she is on a water space. When this Red Lantern is on a water space and attacks with a normal attack, she must attack all adjacent figures. Roll each attack separately. At the end of this Red Lantern's turn, if she attacked more than one time, you must remove one red Battery Marker from this card or place one Wound Marker on this card.

[Arkham]

So she can only multi-attack if she's on a water space?

Don't think I'd draft her if that's what you are suggesting. I also don't think her Blackest Night appearance, was heavily reliant on her water affinity.

Have you seen Young Justice the cartoon? Mera acts in the same way (but more angry) that Kal'durham does in that series. She literally carries water with her everywhere because she needs it for her powers to be effective. Her Blackest Night variation is still a variation on her main character which is dependent on water. She became the Red because the Black Lantern had stolen Arthur from her again.

If she's carrying water around all the time, can we just say she's doing that? Restricting the multi-attack to water-only seems way too limiting to work mechanically, even if it's thematically optimal.
