I also think 3 powers is too much for him, but I like Security Tactics over Action Reflexes, it's more interesting & gives more reason to draft.

I think that he might also only warrant 3 life.

3 life was taken into account, but he survived getting his hand bitten off by Killer Croc, so I figured the Human standard of 4 was appropriate. I plan to host a vote on Lawman or Guard, but I'd like to hear what the other Heroes have to say before that happens.

The Inner Sanctum Index!

I don't know this guy at all.

I would probably prefer lawman over guard just for synergy and more draftability.

Unlike A3n, I could see his life stay at 4 but his defense go down to 3. This would allow for Protect and Serve to be more useful with the extra life, but also make him more vulnerable and give the opponent a nice low defense to chose to attack instead of another figure they may want to attack. So then he'd in essence still be doing his job by protecting others by being more targetable himself.

I could go with Quozl's Security Tactics as his only other power. One think to keep in mind would be 4 attack and any boosts from others that may allow for a couple OMs to be removed. Figures like Speedy Roy can only remove 1 random OM from his special attack of only 3. Though you don't sacrifice wounds or have to declare it ahead of time either.

He meant the Inner Sanctum Discussions and Index Cave. He just doesn't know the names of things yet.

Definitely two powers, here. I like Protect and Serve, and the reflexes. They go well together. Cash get run forward to help out engaged allies, pretty cool.

Don't know the character a ton, but not seeing 4/4 stats. That's more powerful than the Robins and Catgirl, and on par with Rorschach and Nite Owl. Not sure he's as beefy.

[IAmBatman]

Yeah, if he's just a prison guard, 3/3 is fine.

[Scapemage]

Okay, everyone has chimed in. Let's take a formal vote on the 2 concerns.

Protect and Serve is staying. One of the other two powers is getting booted. Here they are for reference:

ACTION REFLEXES
When moving normally, Aaron Cash never takes leaving engagement attacks and may move one additional space as long as he ends his movement engaged.


SECURITY TACTICS (Quozl's version)
When Aaron Cash attacks an opponent's small or medium Unique Hero, before rolling attack dice, you may declare you want to remove Order Markers instead of inflicting wounds. If you do, remove one unrevealed Order Marker at random from that Unique Hero's Army Card for each wound you would inflict with Aaron Cash's normal attack.

He'll be getting the boot to 3/3 stats, but I really like Hahma's reasoning behind his Life, so I'd like to keep that at 4. The only other thing is the class dispute.

A) Protect and Serve, Security Tactics, and Guard.

B) Protect and Serve, Security Tactics, and Lawman.

C) Protect and Serve, Action Reflexes, and Guard.

D) Protect and Serve, Action Reflexes, and Lawman.

I'm going to go with B personally.

[A3n]

E) Protect and Serve, Security Tactics (Modified Scapemage original - below), and Guard

SECURITY TACTICS
If Aaron Cash is attacked by an opponent's adjacent small or medium figure and at least 1 skull is rolled, roll the 20-sided die. If you roll:
• 12 or less, roll defense dice normally.
• 13-16, ignore this attack.
• 17-20, ignore this attack and you may immediately remove one Order Marker from the attacking figure's Army Card.

Also young Padawan, a breathing period there is after an initial design is posted before we make changes. Much too soon for changes, it is.

Breathe in, breathe out.

I can't edit the OP for another 36 hours. That doesn't mean we can't discuss changes.

Agreed, but surely you must realize that the initial hazing period lasts longer than that.

Spoiler Alert!

The correct response is:

Spoiler Alert!

Yes, I do

Spoiler Alert!

and don't call me Shirley.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to SirGalahad again.

Good stuff Sir G.
