The Book of Firestorm (Ronnie Raymond)
The Book of Firestorm C3G DC PUBLIC EXCLUSIVE COLLECTION 14 DAWN OF JUSTICE Comic PDF Mini PDF The figure used for this unit is a Heroclix figure from the Brightest Day set. Its model number and name are Firestorm #002 _________________________________________________________________ Character Bio - High school student Ronnie Raymond and Nobel Prize-winning physicist Martin Stein were caught in a nuclear accident that allowed them to fuse into the "nuclear man" Firestorm. Due to Stein's being unconscious during the accident, Raymond was prominently in command of the Firestorm form with Stein a voice of reason inside his mind, able to offer Raymond advice on how to use their powers without actually having any control over their dual form. Banter between the two was a hallmark of their adventures. Initially Stein was completely ignorant of their dual identity, leaving him concerned about his unusual disappearances and blackouts, but Ronnie was eventually able to convince him of the truth, allowing them to bond as separate individuals rather than as parts of a whole. _________________________________________________________________ -Rulings and Clarifications-

Re: Book of Firestorm (Ronnie Raymond) (Desgin Phase)
NAME = FIRESTORM
SECRET IDENTITY = RONNIE RAYMOND SPECIES = METAHUMAN UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO CLASS = CHAMPION PERSONALITY = LAZY SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5 LIFE = 5 MOVE = 7 RANGE = 5 ATTACK = 5 DEFENSE = 5 POINTS = 330 MATRIX INSTABILITY Firestorm has the secret identity of Martin Stein, the class of Scientist, and the personality of Brilliant in addition to what is listed on this card. Before taking a turn with Firestorm, you must roll the 20-sided die. If you roll 5 or lower, Firestorm cannot use his Firestorm Matrix special power this turn. If you roll 16 or higher, roll 1 additional combat die if Firestorm uses his Firestorm Matrix special power this turn. FIRESTORM MATRIX 4 Instead of taking a turn with Firestorm, you may roll 4 combat dice. After rolling, choose one of the following: - For each shield rolled, remove 1 Wound Marker from this card. - For each shield rolled, choose a figure or Destructible Object within 4 clear sight spaces of Firestorm and place 1 Wound Marker on that figure's card. - If two or more shields were rolled, choose an equipment glyph that is within 4 clear sight spaces of Firestorm or that is equipped by a figure within 4 clear sights spaces of Firestorm. Destroy the chosen glyph. LAVA RESISTANT Firestorm never rolls for molten lava damage or lava field damage and does not have to stop in molten lava spaces. FLYING Original
Spoiler Alert!

Re: Book of Firestorm (Ronnie Raymond) (Desgin Phase)
What I rather like about this card is if you roll right. You get choices with the Matrix, much like some of my favorite cars in Magic where you choose from "two of four" on the card.
"They are too numerous to fight. What shall we do?" "Fight anyway." "You can never defeat another if you know not how to defeat yourself." my tradelist |

Re: Book of Firestorm (Ronnie Raymond) (Desgin Phase)
I'm not familiar with the character outside of what we saw on Flash this season, so how does the Firestorm Matrix work? Rapid healing, repairing or destroying androids or DO's, and destroying glyphs (the cosmic cube/infinity gauntlet destroyed?) seems like a lot of different stuff with potentially really powerful results.

Re: Book of Firestorm (Ronnie Raymond) (Desgin Phase)
Honestly I think this is pretty much perfect to start with. The exact numbers (and exact powers on Firestorm Matrix) may need tweaking as he goes into testing, but I think we're in a good place here.

Re: Book of Firestorm (Ronnie Raymond) (Desgin Phase)
Thanks for the info Johnny!
I was looking at Grish cards the other day and really appreciated the way he incorporates a figures weakness, I think it is one thing C3G has not represented all that well and I'd like to make some effort to change that in future designs. With Martian Manhunter having the Fire Weakness power and it looks like the Firestorm Matrix has some kind of anti-Android aspects to it, Firestorm should be a natural counter draft to him. I'd like to work somewhere into the Firestorm design a power that lets him do extra damage to figures with the Fire Weakness special power. Or maybe have any figures with the Fire Weakness special power adj. to Firestorm takes a wound. |

Re: Book of Firestorm (Ronnie Raymond) (Desgin Phase)
This is what comicvine says about his powers
BTW this guy should have the species of Fire Elemental instead of Metahuman Quote:

Re: Book of Firestorm (Ronnie Raymond) (Desgin Phase)
I worry that such an easy chance to destroy a glyph is way too strong. Certain Red Skull builds are almost entirely built on the Cosmic Cube, destroying the Cosmic Control Rod negates a lot of Annihilus's strength, a lot of Apocalypse's value comes from him drafting two glyphs, it will really hurt Batman (II), etc.. 2/3 of Firestorm Matrix being counters, he'll be amazing against certain armies, and pretty weak against most others.
I really like the general direction though, I just think it needs some tweaking. ".... the Cambridge ladies do not care, above Cambridge if sometimes in its box of sky lavender and cornerless, the moon rattles like a fragment of angry candy" |

Re: Book of Firestorm (Ronnie Raymond) (Desgin Phase)
The glyph destroying should at least have a range.

Re: Book of Firestorm (Ronnie Raymond) (Desgin Phase)
I don't really see the benefit of MENTAL INSTABILITY outweighing the cost, or the theme break. Firestorm doesn't argue with Professor Stein, and the name seems more fitting on an insane figure, or someone heavily unbalanced.

Raymond and Stein do battle for control at times and they do argue over who is the "driver" and Raymond (the comic version is not an engineer but a student) doesn't have the grasp of Physics that Stein does therefore he struggles with the manipulation at times...whereas when Stein manages to have a greater influence he actually gets the boost of an extra die in the Matrix power. 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. |
