The Book of Amazo

[Arkham]

I'd go with option 2 there. Him moving through figures and obstacles isn't really important when he can fly. The no leaving engagements would be nice, but the no non-adjacent attacks is the real bread and butter for him IMO.

Invisibility and Intangibility work out to be the same amount of lines as is. Invisibility starts a line that Intangibility ends.

However V's suggestion for Power Ring cuts out several lines and fits the theme of him using it mainly as a sledge hammer...

Start the game with 3 green Power Markers on this card. Before attacking with Amazo, you may remove 1 Power Marker from this card to add 2 to Amazo’s Range and Attack numbers for this turn

Well with his lasso power you will already want to get in close and hit him so you don't risk the defense penalty getting lassoed so the no leaving engagement may be more useful?

I'd say keep both and adjust the Power Ring.

[japes]

This fits nicely...

NAME = AMAZO

SPECIES = ANDROID
UNIQUENESS = EVENT HERO
CLASS = AUTOMATON
PERSONALITY = RELENTLESS
SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5?

LIFE = 7
MOVE = 10
RANGE = 1
ATTACK = 6
DEFENSE = 6
POINTS = 500+

GREEN LANTERN RING 3
Start the game with 3 green Power Markers on this card. Before attacking with Amazo, you may remove 1 Power Marker from this card to add 2 to Amazo’s Range and Attack numbers for this turn.

INTANGIBILITY
Amazo can move through all figures and obstacles such as ruins, and is never attacked when leaving an engagement. Amazo cannot be targeted by opponents' non-adjacent figures for any attacks or for any special powers that require clear sight[/B]

AMAZING LASSO
Instead of moving with Amazo, you may choose a non-adjacent small or medium figure within 4 clear sight spaces of Amazo. Place the chosen figure adjacent to Amazo. The chosen figure rolls 2 fewer defense dice if attacked by Amazo this turn. Figures moved by Amazing Lasso will not take any leaving engagement attacks.

SUPER SPEED SPECIAL ATTACK
Range 1. Attack 3.
When Amazo attacks with this special attack, he may attack 2 additional times. After each attack with this special attack, you may immediately move Amazo up to 2 spaces.

WATER MIGHT 1
Add 1 die to Amazo's attack and defense while he is on a water space.

SUPER STRENGTH
FLYING

Yeah, I think that's the ticket. Nice work, japes. Just how nicely does it fit, btw?

What do others think?

I would probably bump his life to 8 or even 9 with that.

[Arkham]

I'd have to guess it's similar to Dracula's in terms of spacing and text size.

I like it.

Comfortably.

Proportionately we range from 8 to 6 with a 5.8 as our absolute minimum and we are at about 6.2 with a reasonable lead and space. It looks nice. I probably should go back and look at Dracula for future comparisons since that seems to be the modern minimum standard.

[japes]

Doom an Dracula are the same by the way, so if those sizes are fine then we are in better shape here than those were.

[IAmBatman]

Cool. Well I like that, then. I'll go ahead and put it as the suggested post-breathing period direction in the SP, then give it through Christmas for folks to get in comments or concerns before doing the update.

There's no risk of my doing an initial any time soon anyway!

If CRBers are looking in and have any competitive thoughts or concerns, feel free! Otherwise, I'll tag them post-breathing period.

[IAmBatman]

OK, SP updated with the changes we discussed, and changes noted in the change log. I'm still over a week away from an initial here, but will hopefully be able to do one the week I get home.

In the meantime, @weebaer @Dysole @dok @Soundwarp SG-1 any thoughts on competitive concerns or builds to test here?

[dok]

not really. The direct synergies he does have (Nimrod, Forge... is that all?) are pretty weak, and he doesn't have any obvious indirect synergies I can think of.

[laughing matter]

The only indirect synergy I can think of is using Amazo to pull in an enemy figure next to an adjacent Engagement Strike figure. Other than that, there's not much you could do with him.
