The Book of Storm

[Spidey'tilIDie]

Great start, Griffin! I was both excited and dreading to open this thread and read because I know she has a ton of powers and only so much space to fit them in, but you did a great job fitting a lot of power into a few mechanics. Nice job!

My suggestions are:
1) keep her attack as is and give her a short range, 2 or 3. She is a good hand to hand fighter because of her losing her powers back in the 80's and because her husband is a fantastic hand to hand fighter. Thus the short range shows her having short electrical strikes normally.

2) Make hurricane winds once per round and incorporate rain into that. Perhaps add in "any figures moved by Hurricane Winds may not target any figureor be targetted for a ranged attack for the rest of the round." That way it incorporates the driving rain of a hurricane as well.

A few thoughts I had:

The comic art you have is great. I like the cape, but the mini is kind of freaky. I prefer this other one personally.

You may have to poll me over it, because I much prefer the more iconic look of the figure I have up there.

What about lowering her defense to 3 or 4 and upping her life to 6? From what I remember she seems to go down like a rock quite a few times. The life of 6 could be justified because she is a Goddess as well as a Mutant. This would also differentiate her stats a little more from Ice Man, Jean, Gambit, etc. Also, no range?

Great idea, and I am making that change.

I'd prefer once per round with Hurricane Winds, but it might be weird to have 2 once per round abilities on one card to have to remember though.

I am in agreement.

Once per round it is, and once per round it shall stay. I am not inclined to add more to the power as you are suggesting though. This card will already be very tight on text room.

No change in the OP yet?

Looking good Griff.

Aren't you the one always telling me that spaces can't be adjacent? Maybe what we did with Harley might help:

I think everything else looks good.

No, I have told you that you can't be engaged with a space because engagement implies that it is an "enemy" space, and I have told you that you can't have "clear sight" on a space just recently because it doesn't have a hitzone. However, the term "adjacent spaces" is something that we defined on Black Canary way back in the day and we have used it since then on figures like Harley Quinn and maybe one or two more that currently escape my mind. But essentially, an adjacent space, as ruled by C3G (not officially) has always been this:

-Rulings and Clarifications-

• Canary Cry Special Attack - In Canary Cry Special Attack, figures are considered to be adjacent to a chosen space if they are within one space of the chosen space, regardless of the difference in elevation.

Ummm... you must have looked at the second post, because I definitely updated it to a range 3. But that reminds me, I think maybe we should just start using the second post for the power text anyways, and not put it in the first. What do you guys think? (perhaps that belongs in our discussion thread though)

As per the discussion in Thor's thread & my response I believe an update is required here. I'm am not sure whether Storm should be or shouldn't be affected.
