The Book of Livewire (Leslie Willis)

[quozl]

I like that. That will definitely keep her around 200.

[IAmBatman]

I think it'll make her closer to 150. She has a high ceiling, but only if she doesn't attack! I worry that "After attacking with Livewire's normal attack remove one Electrical Marker from this card" might be too much of a power check, given how slowly she accumulates the markers ....

[quozl]

Maybe only remove a marker when she inflicts wounds with a normal attack?

[IAmBatman]

Good idea. That will help a lot more. She'll suffer against squaddies some, but she won't need to be pumped up against them either.

[Scapemage]

Restricting it to only activate when she inflicts a wound definitely strengthens per potential in combat.

So like this then...

ELECTRICITY ABSORBTION
After being attack by a figure with the Electrically Charged special power or at the end of any round Livewire did not use the Shock Jock special power, you may add one white Electrical Marker to this card up to a maximum of 3. If at the end of any figure's turn Livewire is on a Water space remove all Electrical Markers from this card.

POWER CHARGED
If there is at least 1 Electrical Marker on this card, Livewire gains the Flying special power, she can move through all figures and obstacles such as ruins, she is never attacked when leaving an engagement and she cannot be targeted by opponents' non-adjacent figures for any attacks or for any special powers that require clear sight. Add one to Livewire’s Move, Range, Attack, and Defense numbers for each Electrical Marker on this card. If Livewire inflicts one or more wounds with her normal attack remove one Electrical Marker from this card.

SHOCK JOCK
If there are three Electrical Markers on this card, instead of attacking normally, you may remove all Electrical Markers and roll 3 unblockable dice against an adjacent figure.

I can roll with that.

"Electrical Markers" sounds sort of off to me, though.

[Spidey'tilIDie]

Right now she has a threat range of 15 with markers, thats crazy high. What do you think of cutting the Markers back to 2 and upping her Attack to 5? (It seems obvious that with regular Range 4 she is already electrical, so an attack of 5 is OK.)

[IAmBatman]

I'd be cool with lowering her base stats a bit in general ... I'd honestly rather see her max out at attack 6, for instance, so either regular attack of 3 with three markers, or regular attack of 4 with 2 markers would be fine by me.

Edited for some grammatical stuff:

[A3n]

I like the 3 markers as it as more of a risk factor to build up to for the Shock Jock. She is pretty powerful & has taken down Superman with her electrical attack. We could increase the move & range & not have them increase with the markers.

[IAmBatman]

I like that idea, especially because it simplifies the text a bit.
