The Book of Taskmaster

I think having it go on a wound might limit its utility too much since it's only a 3 dice attack- but having it work on condition of rolling a skull would work fine for me

[IAmBatman]

He’s going to roll a skull almost all the time. That’s a band-aid on a bullet hole, IMO.

[Tornado]

I like not rolling a blank.

[Qualizium]

Probability isn't really my strong suit, what are the odds of not rolling a blank on three dice? (5/6)^3?

[MrNobody]

I’m sure that’ll still lead to some kiting, but less effective. It’ll always be a possibility anyways, with the other 3 factors I mentioned, and he probably could’ve still kited Shang-Chi even without any movement. It’s worth a try though!

Update the SP with whatever you want and I’ll get back to testing.

Also can I get a clarification on the rules question i posted just before? Intent from the OP? I think the funky wording comes from Hawkeye II being a flyer.

Based on how it reads, he does not take any LEAs if he began engaged.

According to a quick Google ("what are the odds of not rolling a six on three dice") it's a 57.87% chance that you WON'T roll a blank, and a 42.13% chance you WILL roll a blank.

So he'll get to move slightly more than half the time. Seems fair to me.

[IAmBatman]

Whereas I'd assume the odds of not rolling a skull are significantly less than half the time.

[johnny139]

I think it's something like 12.5% chance of not rolling a skull on three dice, yeah. I'm not a math guy though so don't cite me.

[IAmBatman]

Yeah, that sounds vaguely correct. If the problem is still going to be a problem over 80% of the time, the problem hasn't been fixed, IMO. So I'm definitely team "no blanks."

[MrNobody]

I think 1v1 he’ll still be able to easily evade a lot of units, right? (6 move, Stealth Dodge, long range) Is that an issue?
