The Book of Robin ('66)

I don’t think that’s remotely clear based on the wording of the power.

What happens if he starts his turn and Jean Grey stops his movement?

[Arch-vile]

Just add an "if possible".

We do have lots of powers that require you to end moves adjacent to stuff. I’ve just kinda assumes there’s an implied “try your best” clause in there because they don’t really work otherwise.

This is the first one I can think of that has a whole turn involved in it.

[tcglkn]

Sure and that’s where the issue is for me. You’re taking a whole turn conditional on something that you can’t figure out till later.

I think “if possible” patches this up? Would still be able to attack if he gets Stuck or whatever, but that feels ok to me.

Gonna go ahead and update the SP with what you had tickle.

“HOLY SMOKES, BATMAN!”
After revealing an Order Marker on the card of Unique Crime Fighter Hero you control and taking a turn with that Hero, if Robin is within 6 clear sight spaces of that Crime Fighter, you may take an immediate turn with Robin. During this turn Robin must end his move adjacent to the activated Hero if possible, and can only attack if the Crime Fighter you took a turn with had the Valiant personality. You may not take any additional turns.

[FreshFoods]

Sure, that works with me. I’ll update the sp with that, thanks dude

[tcglkn]

That gets around any question of what you do if he can't move which I think is just better to avoid in general.

That seems like a more significant change to the mechanics here. Previously you had to have taken a turn with the Valiant Crime Fighter in order to attack. Now you could activate Robin off of other Crime Fighters and still attack so long as you're adjacent to the Valiant Crime Fighter.

I think something like this would be closer to what was tested:

“HOLY SMOKES, BATMAN!”
After revealing an Order Marker on the card of a Unique Crime Fighter Hero you control and taking a turn with that Hero, if Robin is within 6 clear sight spaces of that Crime Fighter, you may take an immediate turn with Robin. During this turn Robin can only attack if the Crime Fighter you took a turn with has the Valiant personality. You may not take any additional turns.

Yeah, he no longer has to be adjacent to that Crime Fighter for the attack, but I think that's less of a change than making it so he has to be adjacent but he can attack during a Luke Cage activation or something.

[FreshFoods]

Mm, yeah I see what you’re saying Bats. The wording you’ve got works with me too. They’re both a bit different from the original, but not enough that I really care too much which one we go with.

Gonna be busy for most of today, but I’ll update the sp with Bats wording sometime if no one has a problem with it. Thanks again for the help guys!

[IAmBatman]

Sounds good. Ultimately either is a change but not sure the power needs to be as restricted as it is right now, so that seems OK.

Updated SP.
@Dr. Jekyll we should be ready for cards!
