The Book of Poison Ivy (I)

[Griffin]

I like some of that a lot better personally. I don't like her removing Order Markers though.

Curious, do you like the Plant Command power on this card, and is it something that you may be interested in incorporating into your vision?

Spoiler Alert!

2 spaces isn't that much of a deal. I'd love for her to be an anti-Raelin.

Why would the tree need to be in clear line of sight?

No offense, WS, but I don't think you're at all grasping how powerful the Pheromone power would be.
I'm really, really glad Sir G. is thinking about going in a different direction here.

I thought about that, but I was concerned that you would have to keep the controlled figure and Ivy close to each other to maintain control, and I didn't really know how to word something like that. Ideas?

Whitestuff: You're right, she probably doesn't need to see the plant.

Why, what am I missing?

BTW, I like the Mind Shackle idea...

In researching what others had already done, I read that power and was first struck by how cool it was, but then worried about the "legal" placement of Jungle Pieces requiring two of the six faces to be connected.

Bring on the shackle...

Batarangs clanging harmlessly with only 1 attack die.

[IAmBatman]

Yeah ... maybe for the legal placement issue, we could add a line like "if possible" and FAQ it? It'd definitely be something new to the game, but I don't think it'd be broken ...

Have you played Darkseid?
Or, here's another way of putting it - she'd be going up against a 5 attack, 5 life Superman, and have a special attack. She'd probably play him close to even, especially if she were rolling hot for the Toxic Kiss.
Anyway, I really like the alternate direction Sir G. is going with, so I won't belabor the point against things that are changing.
As for possible wording for the Pheromone Control power ...

This needs fixing up (I'd have to look at the official Mind Shackle) but it's a rough draft for a direction you could go for what I'm talking about with the control power:

After moving and before attacking, you may choose any unique figure adjacent to Poison Ivy. Roll the 20-sided die, adding 3 to the roll if the chosen figure has the Wild Personality. If you roll an 18 or higher, take control of the chosen figure and that figure's Army Card. You now control that Army Card and all figures on it. Remove any Order Markers on the card. If Poison Ivy is destroyed, control of any previously Pheromone Controlled cards returns to the player who originally controlled them.

Other art suggestions...

A
B
C
D

[IAmBatman]

I like the art for "B" a lot. "A" is OK too. The others? Bleh.

Did you look at the comic I posted above? Ivy would own Superman

Looks good but why the wild personality? Be fun if it was Valiant personalities, just to mess with those guys...
