I'd be fine going with this if we reduced it to 3 spaces.

If we don't go with this, I think we should keep to 4 spaces.

I'll echo that I'm really digging this design overall.

I'll echo Dedicated as a personality and being in favor of Lava Resistant as a second power.

I also (first time this has been brought up) wonder if she's worthy of an attack of 4 at all? If 3 is more thematic, stick with 3, but she'll likely rarely use her normal attack instead of her special attack (that might be thematic as well, though).

Well, I originally had Lava Resistant on there, but some people told me that it didn't make sense, so I removed it; I don't full know Firestar.

I would be good with changing the power name.

Maybe Microwave Burst instead of Blast?

[Yodaking]

Microwave Beam Special Attack if you want it to just go in a straight line.

Love this design.

From what I know of the character, I'd like to see Lava Resistant on her card. I like the SA as-is, though renamed to Microwave Beam S[ecial Attack like Yoda suggested. I think I'd prefer 4 attack, but could see 3 for thematic reasons. I also like Dedicated for personality. My .

Okay, I'll change it to Microwave Beam Special Attack (I really like it) and I would be good with bumping her attack to 4; and I think I'll hold a vote on Lava Resistant:

A) add Lava Resistant
B) leave Lava Resistant off

A. From what people are saying, she should have it.

[TrollBrute]

B based on this from Wiki:

Firestar's mutant abilities do not grant her any particular immunity to the effects of intense heat other than that generated by her own microwave powers. During training exercises with Emma Frost in her limited series, she was chastised by her teacher for clumsiness and warned that she could have been "badly burned" by a laser. During a fight between the Avengers and Fantastic Four years later, the Human Torch was afraid of burning her with his own flames. However, she eventually displayed the ability to siphon heat energy and to detect electromagnetic signatures from broadcast transmissions.

A.

Heat and fire and indistinguishable in HeroScape rules.

Wikpedia isn't totally reliable and those claims have no citation. Even if it appeared in print, it could have just been a contradiction based on assumption by a fill-in writer.

Also, how can someone be immune to any level of heat, but get burned by fire?
