Re: The Book of Spider-Man
I agree; However, you must take in consideration that that this isn't crazy string. According to the comics, If spider-man wrapped THE THING in his web, it would take him 4 days or weeks (Can't remember) to escape. That's steel string ya got there!
Personally, I often Pair Spidey with the ninjas. They're like mini spidermen, and they have an attack of 4, which is reliable. Back them up by kravs or nakitas, with some deathreavers mixed in, and maybe old dusty raelin on your top shelf that you never play with because she doesn't have whirlwind, and you got a pretty good army there. My Customs My Maps "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." Ephesians 2:8-9 |

Re: The Book of Spider-Man
I'm suprised nobody pointed out that... In the comics, Parkers Spider Sense isn't effected by Venom. Venom can always sneak up on Spidey easy. It's got to do with the symbiote. Since it was formerly Parkers, it knows how to mask Brock from that ability.
Thats what always made venom such a devestating enemy when they fight. They could have squeezed in the sentence "Spider Sense 11 may not be employed against Venom". |

Re: The Book of Spider-Man
I agree with Lord Pyre; the omission is probably for purposes of simplicity, but it may also have to do with some fundamentals of Heroscape game design. So far, with the exception of the Wave 7 vampires, no card powers call out other specific cards. For example, Valguard's Berserker Charge Enhancement doesn't refer to the Tarn Viking Warriors by name, even though they're the only unit the power benefits right now. Designing this way leaves the possibilities open for other future units with the Bereserker Charge ability.
Personally, I like this aspect of Heroscape design. It would be very limiting if characters started having abilities like "Lex Luthor rolls 1 additional attack die when attacking Superman." |

Re: The Book of Spider-Man
I like it when the comic-book elements are translated into Heroscape in a low-key way, without "naming names." The Abomination is stronger than a calm Hulk, but an angered Hulk quickly develops more power. Captain America's Tactician power just happens to give more help to his fellow Avenger, Iron Man, than to any of the other Conflict Begins figures. Mechanically, Spider-Man is most efficient when protecting someone else. That's the way to do it: let the relationships and personalities come across subtly where possible.
If Marvel thrives and continues, I'm sure there will be a place for mutant-wide bonuses and things of that nature, but it would be nice to see the low-key approach expand, too. Rather than see Wolverine and Beast get an explicit Fastball Special interaction, it would be better to see Beast get a "Boost" power that let him move allies, then Wolverine get a "First Strike," sort of like a much broader Engagement Strike that works whether he's approached or he approaches the enemy himself. The combo would be there for those who want it, but not as an Iskra-and-Rechets type thing. Maybe drafting Theracus to move Wolverine is better, or maybe Beast would be more effective if he hurled a Gladiatron at you instead. |

Re: The Book of Spider-Man
Say Spider-Man is attached while walking away from an engagement, a skull is rolled, and you roll 11+ for spider sense.
Does Spider-Man therefore get a swing-line move in addition to his regular move? If so, does the swing line start from the space where Spider man began the disengagement from (as oppose to the space he was moving to)? If so, does Spider-Man still have that move when he finishes the swing-line? |

Re: The Book of Spider-Man
Leaving engagement attack is not the same as an attack, so no.
