The Book of Green Lantern (Aya)

[Lazy Orang]

Alright, I'm going to guess by the comments (or lack thereof) that we're looking solid here? Basically just a case of deciding a starting price for initial testing. Thoughts?

[MrNobody]

The assessment Bats gave seems pretty spot on.

[Lazy Orang]

Sounds good.
Out of interest, what would you guys suggest if I wanted to bring her down to 280? That's still my ideal price, but I'm not going to square-peg it.

[MrNobody]

Stat drop? She'll be pretty juiced when combined with Kilowog, especially since she doesn't have the same stat loss issue most Lanterns do.

Yeah this! Otherwise if the Computation is too hot, could make it a static 1 or 2 rather than the battery markers (Not that I'm positive that'd be a downgrade anyway).

[Lazy Orang]

In theory, would 4/5 attack/defence work? I'll want to talk it over with my Mum (she cares about these characters too! ), but just in theory?
Don't want to tweak the D20 - a battery marker effect just _feels_ more fun!

[Lord Pyre]

Yeah 4/5 might be better. Then she's not much sturdier than many people in her range. Agreed on the battery effect It was just a suggestion if you needed.

[Lazy Orang]

Okay, just had a short chin-wag with me Mum, and we've decided that 4/5 works. Honestly, in retrospect, she probably was a bit juiced - she's solid, but she's not an offensive monster and is definitely the least aggressive and probably least dangerous in a straight fight of the Interceptor Crew, even though she's probably one of the most useful members of the Crew in general. I was aiming for 'solid, but won't blow your mind' for stats, but didn't factor Kilowog in enough. 8 attack fully inspired on height feels a bit on the juiced side for her. Ideally, in an Interceptor build, she's the support who can stilll fight okay and will probably still be doing okay when your other guys are getting depleted, Kilowog's getting some solid early licks in and boosting her and Hal, Hal's your main frontline badass doing the majority of the work, and Razer's there to occasionally go bat-sh!t bleeding crazy and kill everything in sight, before calming himself so he can be a decent fighter after unloading over everything.
Move and Range looking okay? Does this look like it might get her in at 280?

[IAmBatman]

Lowering move, attack, and defense by one each would get her to 280 on the calculator.

So the 4/5 defense with 6 move.

Hmm... what about Range, Attack and Defence? Just playing around with options here, not sure what my thoughts are.

Honestly, Move's unlikely to matter much with her either way - she's flying in from the Interceptor!

[IAmBatman]

Per the calculator, range would have to drop by two to get the same effect as dropping move by one.

That said, these calculations aren't set in stone or anything, just a general guide.

That's... odd to me! I've always thought Range was more valuable than Move - still increases your threat range while also helping you stay out of others' threat range.

In reality, I don't think either will matter that much - Move especially - given her mode of deployment; 7 Move's more a matter of theme than gameplay. Given that, do you reckon she'd be good at 280 as is, or would you still want drops to Move or Range?
