Re: The Book of John Constantine
Quote:
My suggested change: CON ARTIST When John Constantine is targeted by an opponent's figure, roll one combat die. If you roll a blank, John Constantine may not be targeted until the next time you reveal an Order Marker A blank (0.1666) lives between a roll of 17+ (0.2) and 18+ (0.15) in terms of odds of success. This is a little more difficult than the currently-presented 16+ (0.25), so the compensation is giving him immunity until the player turn finishes rather than just the unit turn. Quote:
There appear to be two minis. This one is $15 on CSI and this one is $19 on CSI. Both are out of stock on TrollAndToad and neither exist on MiniatureMarket. Like Superheroes and Comics?

Re: The Book of John Constantine
Zatanna I & Zatanna II both have a d20 power, so there is some incentive for you to draft them together already. Having his d20 power effect his own d20 roll seems more important to me so I don't feel like losing that completely. Maybe there is another place where we can work in a blank roll power?

Re: The Book of John Constantine
Yeah I absolutely think it would be out of John’s character to not have his Synchronicity benefit himself. The base of the character is that he’s a rogueish self-serving con man who uses his luckiness to get himself out of scrapes, so I think benefitting himself is a must.
I much prefer the cheaper mini with the fire to the expensive one with the weird circle behind him. |

Re: The Book of John Constantine
Add to the end of Laughing Magician:
When John defends against an attack from a figure with Magical Defense, if any defense dice roll a blank, John cannot take more than 1 wound from that attack. |

Re: The Book of John Constantine
That's elegant and brings back the defenses given from normal Magical Defense, except against Magicians rather than non-Magicians. I'm in favor.

Re: The Book of John Constantine
Alright, so I know it's too soon to update the SP, but this is what I'm looking at updating it with.
LAUGHING MAGICIAN John Constantine may cast Unique Spells as if he had the Magical Defense special power. An opponent's figure cannot use the Magical Defense special power when defending against an attack from John Constantine. When defending against an attack from a figure with Magical Defense, if any defense dice show a blank, John cannot take more than 1 wound from that attack. Changed 'rolled' to 'show' a blank as I've been trying to ensure their is no confusion over whether Zatanna's power can be used or not. I know adding a automatic skull or shield isn't considered a 'rolled' skull or shield. Not sure if I'm just over thinking it though as previous cards were not written with Zatanna's power in mind. |

Re: The Book of John Constantine
I like the Unique Spell restriction - still lets him feel like a powerful magic-user, since all the high-end stuff is Unique, but it does characterize him as a guy that doesn't run around sneezing lightning bolts.
The blank tie-in on Laughing Magician is cool. Don't think it's a strict necessity, but it's neat. |

Re: The Book of John Constantine
Something about the blank mechanic doesn't feel right to me...too much on one power, he already has a defensive power, and I don't really know if he needs to have a blank mechanic.
I really like this art. Last edited by MrNobody; November 16th, 2018 at 12:34 AM. |

I think the blank power feels forced and gets closer to what Johnny was worried about to begin with. Without the Blank power he works well with the JLD but also doesn't NEED them. The blank power makes it more like he needs them more than they need him. Would I want it to be everything I love...sure...but that's just not realistic so I'm going to focus on finding things that will make me unhappy and work on fixing those. |

Re: The Book of John Constantine
The blank power only works vs. figures with MD, which is about 20 figures out of 770, not seeing the causes for concern.
