Re: The Book of Mister Sinister - Design Phase
Well we'd be introducing "last name" as an official term. I guess that's pretty universally understood, though ....
C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

If it ends up being too rough, we can always bump the markers down to like 6 (1-6) instead. C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

Re: The Book of Mister Sinister - Design Phase
He's interesting, that's for sure. Definitely treading new ground - not any more than some marker designs we've done, though. And the language is so well done that it just FEELS official.

Re: The Book of Mister Sinister - Design Phase
Choose wisely. You could use the first four markers to take over a figure and get it with Range 1, Move 4, Attack 3, and Defense 2, or play the odds that Mister Sinister (and the affected figure) will survive long enough to take over that figure with Move 6, Range 5, Attack 8, and Defense 7, but understand that the figure gets to use those modified numbers until it is taken over.
And you have to sacrifice your attack to even attempt it. 14+ for a mutant (35%^4=1.5% chance you get the four numbers replaced on the first attempt for each) 16+ for a non-mutant (25%^4 < 0.4% chance you get the four numbers replaced on the first attempt for each) Lots of ways to counter it (move away, throw, destroy your figure before the 4th marker placed, etc.) Or you could boost your own figures' numbers..... |

Re: The Book of Mister Sinister - Design Phase
For the mini, are you thinking Ultimates 090 or Chaos War 047 (minus the DNA tank)?

Re: The Book of Mister Sinister - Design Phase
Yeah, he definitely brings about a lot of interesting strategies! I think the best way to use him as currently constructed might be to use the 1 and 2 to nerf enemy cards, then use the rest to build yourself a monster (either on your own side or an enemy you'll take over).
That said, I think being able to so easily put Superman's attack or defense down to 1 is probably too powerful. So I think I want to limit this to six markers from the get-go and go with 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. I'm less worried about building the mega-powerful unit, because it takes too long. It's the one roll stat nerf for a heavy hitter that will break this guy. I also need to get some language in the power (I realized last night) to stop you from stacking markers on markers. I think it works better if you're forced to alter a stat that hasn't been altered before (as this should keep any mega-powerful units somewhat in check, since one or two of their stats won't be all that).

Re: The Book of Mister Sinister - Design Phase
If you don't want to nerf Superman and other non-Mutants, you could up the roll needed and increase the bonus for Mutants.

That said, I think going to 6 markers is a good idea regardless. Giving someone a 1 or 2 for their move number is just too cruel. C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

Re: The Book of Mister Sinister - Design Phase
Dropping the 1 and 2 definitely make it harder for him to nerf units, which was going to be one of my biggest worries. There will be units he can boost right at the start now (Merlyn and Zsasz would love him, off the top of my head), but it shouldn't be too strong. Should he be able to affect Range? I wonder if there aren't any potential mechanical issues from that, but I'm too tired right now to think of any.

Re: The Book of Mister Sinister - Design Phase
Back when I was considering 0 for one of the markers, that would have been a problem from Range. But I can't think of any now.
