Character Bio - On the fateful day where Peter was supposed to be bitten by that radioactive spider, in this universe he forgot to bring his lunch! So the heroic Aunt May brings to to him, and unknowingly intercepts that very spider! Bitten and gaining superpowers, she fights crime using her own sticky dough and sewing string! She decides to hide her identity as Spider-Ma'am from her frail nephew, but both him and her husband Ben eventually find out, and decide to help her fight crime from the sidelines. Peter even then invents webshooters for all three of them, which is a considerable step up from thread.

NAME = SPIDER-MA’AM
SECRET IDENTITY = MAY REILLY-PARKER

SPECIES = MUTATE
UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO
CLASS = MYSTERY MAN
PERSONALITY = NURTURING

SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 4

LIFE = 3

MOVE = 5
RANGE = 1
ATTACK = 3
DEFENSE = 4

POINTS = 110

BAKING ARSENAL
Start the game with a Glyph of Special Dough, a Glyph of Wheatcakes, and a Glyph of Pie on this card. Spider-Ma’am cannot lose these glyphs by receiving wounds unless she is destroyed.

NOT A FRAIL OLD WOMAN
Spider-Ma'am is never attacked when leaving engagements. Opponents cannot target Spider-Ma'am for an attack or choose her for a special power if they could instead target another figure they do not control. After an opponent's player turn, you may choose one figure Spider-Ma'am is engaged with that took a turn and did not attack her. Roll an unblockable attack die against that figure.

SWING LINE 4
Instead of her normal move, Spider-Ma’am may move up to 4 spaces with Swing Line. When moving with Swing Line, Spider-Ma’am has the Flying special power, but may not move up or down more than 40 levels in a single swing, and will not take any leaving engagement attacks.

She's obviously a fairly goofy character, so the whole concept here is pretty goofy too. I'm pretty flexible here if anyone wants to see something different. I just want her a lower cost Spider with some funny baked goods.

[IAmBatman]

110 seems about right from the calculator.

[Lord Pyre]

Probably going to drop the Pie roll to only 2 dice. Potentially healing 3 wounds is quite hefty for pie.

[Soundwarp SG-1]

Hilariously, if you give Amuro a pie he can use his Newtype powers to... eat it better than a person who's soul is bound by gravity.

I think anyway, fairly certain there's a rolling somewhere that rolling dice, inflicting wounds, etc.. for a glyph count as the figure equipped with the glyph doing it.

This reminds me, you probably dont want the pie to heal DOs and such?

Reasonable. I almost suggested this, then figured it must be magic pie or something.

Amuro: Pie eating champion.

But yeah, we'd have to specify non-destructible objects I assume? Something like that?

[tcglkn]

Androids, Constructs and Destructible Objects are not affected by this glyph.

[Lord Pyre]

Looking at this design again. I was wanting to get a tad more personality on this card if possible. So I was thinking of cutting Spider-Sense, boosting her defense to 5, then add something like this?

NOT A FRAIL OLD WOMAN
Once per player turn, if an opponent's figure ends its movement adjacent to Spider-Ma'am and has not attacked her, you may roll one unblockable attack die against that figure.

She mentions at one point the reason she doesn't cover her chin is because she wants villains to underestimate her. I'm not sure how useful this exact power is, but might be a fun angle.
