Do we want Distracting Fire to trigger on skulls or hits?

Updated with those changes. Happy with keeping it skulls, but won't fight one way or the other if someone felt like hits were a better idea.

[IAmBatman]

I'm wondering if we want to say "had 1+ skull" just to avoid the "rolled" language there?

Is that so we could allow for manipulation of what's rolled?

[IAmBatman]

Yeah, that's the idea. But mostly because it gets unclear what's allowed or not when you just say "rolled." At least that's my (sort of) understanding based on past conversations (as in I sort of understand it, lol).

[Ericth74]

Planning on doing some sanity testing with Martinex and probably at least one game with Captain America. Are there any builds that anyone is really worried about?

Martinex 200, Star-Lord 250, Cap 240 = 690 so it needs another 310 round out to 1000. I was thinking about adding Dr Strange and 20 points in spells. A doubled boosted Dr Strange could be scary.

[IAmBatman]

Wonder Woman (JL) and Atom (JL) at 1100 might be worth trying out with that first three. Get that triple boosting going.

That could be ugly, The down side of both of those teams is that Martinex is the only Bonding figure. So you would have to take a turn with Marty and if you want Caps Bonus he needs to be OM 1 so only 5 turns a round in either case.
