Re: The Book of Buffy Summers - Design Phase
4 life definitely seems like the right way to go for me.
Human and Buddy Summers also looks good. I like the current Big Bad power. Knowing from experience how much blanks can affect gameplay (Zauriel), they will definitely have an impact. I wouldn't be against 4 attack though. Big Bag does not need a marker however, just like with Jonah Hex's Bounty, it's easy enough to remember one figure until Buffy or that figure dies. Like Superheroes and Comics?

Re: The Book of Buffy Summers - Design Phase
Our parameter for Superstrength is "can they lift 1 ton?" The answer is, No, Buffy cannot lift a car. So therefore no Superstrength.

Re: The Book of Buffy Summers - Design Phase
Good points by both of you. I'd support dropping both the marker and the SS.
"Buddy" Summers, though, Scapey? C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

Re: The Book of Buffy Summers - Design Phase
I don't think the upper limits of Buffy's strength are ever fully shown. I agree that a car may be a bit of a stretch for her but she is stronger than any vampire and, while it's hard to say how the show's vamps would translate over, C3G vampires have SuperStrength. I also feel that SS would have her play more like Buffy with things like Knockback.
Slayers aren't just well-trained humans, they're gifted power from demons and Buffy is the strongest of them. She goes out every night to fight vampires, demons and other baddies, and her fighting style is not one of dodging out of the way. Deflecting, yes, but she takes plenty of blows that would injure a normal human and shrugs them off. Except for the two times she's died (), I don't think she's ever really seen recuperating from any damage. I think there's a very strong precedent for augmented-humans (which is what Buffy is) having 5 life. I can live with dropping either her life or SS, but I feel that losing both would make her far too weak to be Buffy. I prefer to only use markers when necessary, so I'm good with dropping it.

Re: The Book of Buffy Summers - Design Phase
Hmm, yeah, good point about C3G vampires having it. I definitely think if they have it she should, so the question becomes:
A) Should both have it or B) Should neither? Because it should definitely be one of those two options! C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

Re: The Book of Buffy Summers - Design Phase
Marvel vampires have super strength but Buffy vampires don't. The issue is that we're mixing universes now.

Re: The Book of Buffy Summers - Design Phase
I think the question we should be answering is how heavy Olaf the Troll God's Enchanted Hammer is. If it's anywhere in the 1000 lbs. range than she qualifies, I think.

Re: The Book of Buffy Summers - Design Phase
Searching shows she can lift 800-100 pounds. This page doesn't have numbers but has a good listing of powers:

Re: The Book of Buffy Summers - Design Phase
Hmm ... I believe 2,000 lbs (1 ton) is our typical cut off point, so she's not qualifying by that standard. I take back what I said about Vampires before, too, since Johnny helpfully pointed out that we're dealing with Vampires in different universes.
So I'm definitely against SS here. C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

Re: The Book of Buffy Summers - Design Phase
I agree that the evidence shows her falling short of the SuperStrength cut-off, so I'll drop that. I do still feel that 5 life is the best choice here, and the link q posted seems to back that up:

Re: The Book of Buffy Summers - Design Phase
Looks good TrollBrute
I agree with the changing of power order around that was discussed as well as order for Slayer Training. I agree with dropping Superstrength. I support 5 life.

Re: The Book of Buffy Summers - Design Phase
The point about alternate universe Vampires is key here.
Okay 5 life has been justified for me. Like Superheroes and Comics?
