I'm chipping away at it! Well into the H units at this point.

As a general point of discussion, I'm going to have to make a second pass for Immunities/Benefits/Weaknesses stuff (I haven't really been focusing on that so much as the synergies), and I'm thinking I may want to streamline the way it's listed in the books.

Mainly, I was thinking of simplifying a little. Here's how things are listed in the Books now:

-Immunities, Benefits, and Weaknesses-

Immunities

• As a Common Hero, Bodyguard cannot be affected by aspects of certain special powers. Special Powers that Interact Differently with Common Heroes.

Benefits

• N/A

Weaknesses

• As a Criminal, Bodyguard interacts differently with certain special powers. Special Powers that Interact Differently with Criminals.
• As a Common Hero, Bodyguard interacts differently with certain special powers. Special Powers that Interact Differently with Common Heroes.

_________________________________________________________________

and then those link back to a post like this:

Current Special Powers that Interact Differently with Common Heroes:

Immunities:

Atom’s Molecular Irritant, Beast’s Negotiation, and so on and so forth

Weaknesses:

You get the idea. Bunch of special powers with links.

Updated through SSE 31.

Because what goes under which heading is broken down in the actual Synergy Archive post, I'm not sure if it's really worth laying it out in the Books as well. It just provides the same information multiple times and makes the Books harder to maintain.

I'd like to streamline the IBW section in the Books to get rid of the sub-headings:

-Immunities, Benefits, and Weaknesses-

• As a Common Hero, Bodyguard interacts differently with these special powers.
• As a Criminal, Bodyguard interacts differently with these special powers.

Any thoughts on the formatting of the Books are welcome.

I know that it was almost exlusively based on what had been done before in the official Units Books, however, that being said I believe that C3G has now turned out almost twice the units that the base game did. If we need to simplify things for ourselves then so be it.

We've got over three times as many units now, by my count. And a much bigger focus on synergies/interactions as well.

And now I believe we should be up-to-date on synergies across the board. If you see something that looks screwy or a synergy link takes you somewhere nonsensical, ping me.

As a general note to anyone scratching their head over some of the smaller synergy posts, I've exercised my discretion in creating link-up posts for smaller synergies and tried to create them for synergies more likely to expand (both in terms of the number of figures in the synergy and the number of special powers interacting with those figures).

So for instance, I did not create an Aquaman Synergies post, but I did create a Mercenary Synergies post.

Still gotta update those Immunities/Benefits/Weaknesses, but I'm probably going to take a breather before tackling that.
