Re: The Book of The Octopus (Breathing)
Ink Spew can actually be worded to work more-or-less as intended (on Heroes) with some effort, but yeah if it’s not something he actually does then it shouldn’t be here.
Not knowing the character personally I’d probably just have him at two powers but spice up Grip of the Octopus into something interesting enough for the cool name.

Re: The Book of The Octopus (Breathing)
I had a power called Entangling Arms on an early draft of Human Robot - gist of it was that if a figure was engaged with Human Robot during its movement, you could roll the d20 after it ended its movement for a chance to yoink it back into the engagement. Could do a riff on that idea. I think that sort of mechanic feels a lot like an octopus arm.

But, yeah, this is good advice. What is the core of the story you're trying to tell on the card? If you can summarize that, the mechanics will be easy to implement. C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

Re: The Book of The Octopus (Breathing)
Also should he have Super Strength here? Sorry I haven’t been able to dive in and give a lot of feedback, I’ve been phone posting all day. General direction so far is good.

Re: The Book of The Octopus (Breathing)
Okay, so one issue in, and the big thing that’s sticking out to me is his whole deal with Scientists. He has Hank Pym and Hank McCoy locked up and is using them to become nore powerful. What if we worked with that?

I dunno if the story changes later on, but giving him a cool little tie like that seems like a fun third power. The other thing is that it seems like in 1602, all the super characters are called Witchbreed. Should that be his species? It might be handy for synergy if we ever want to expand that universe down the line, even if they are technically Mutates or whatever in modern scientific terms.

Re: The Book of The Octopus (Breathing)
I like the Scientist Extortion power, but the downside seems really steep for just healing one wound. Maybe just make it to where 1-3 means you can’t place OMs on the cards of scientists next round.

Re: The Book of The Octopus (Breathing)
Well at the end of the story, his Scientist kills him. Maybe the upside could be higher ans the downside could only trigger on a 1?

Re: The Book of The Octopus (Breathing)
Sure just saying that it doesn't seem remotely worth it to draft Scientists with him as you have the power written.
What if he offered Scientists bonding but they couldn't attack? There's still plenty of benefit to that (Beast's Negotiation for example). Then he just naturally had healing. That could be a fun direction to take. |

Re: The Book of The Octopus (Breathing)
Maybe with a Suicide Squad style 5% chance at betrayal at the end of the turn?
