The Book of Brainiac 13

[IAmBatman]

Yeah, I don't recall specifically either, thus the If it's something we've been really consistent about in the past, though, might be best to drop it.

My biggest thing right now is I don't like the idea of going as text-heavy as Doctor Doom again!

It was a comment from Johnny before either of us were heroes, so it probably doesn't apply. I misremembered!

[A3n]

Any further thoughts here? I kind of want to drop Cybernetic Repair to save on the text, but I like how it fits in with the rest of the design. But then how many andriods/cyborgs have that power to benefit from?

We could come up with a different slightly shorter version like:

At the end of the round, you may reveal the "X" Order Marker on this card to remove 1 wound marker from an Android or Cyborg you control.

Don't know what to call it though .

I support dropping it.

[IAmBatman]

I'll support whatever direction you want here, A3n. If we're really worried about text, it's also possible we could trim some of the other powers. I'm sure if we put our minds to it, we could find some fat in them, especially since I threw them together pretty quickly.

I'm hoping to playtest this tomorrow, though, hopefully!

Pasteability,

Pretty sure we don't want him taking control of an opponent's Event Android Hero, and although right now the only Android squad we have is the Killer Penguins, if a common Android squad were ever designed, and the opponent had more than one squad of them, would you just get to pick any card's worth of those figures to take control of? Probably cleaner (and definitely a lot less text) to restrict it to Unique Heroes.

[IAmBatman]

What about if we ever make common heroes, though, like some sort of drones for Brainiac? We'd want those to be eligible. Also, Event Heroes all have Mental Shield built in, so they can't be mind controlled anyway. I think we could just say "hero".

[SirGalahad]

on Event Heroes. Fair enough for Common Heroes. Plus it saves 7 more characters.

[IAmBatman]

Yep.

[quozl]

It would wipe out all order markers on the common hero's army card though.

[IAmBatman]

I'm OK with that. He's an Event Hero, after all.

Added the figure info to the OP.
