The Book of Quentin Quire
The Book of Quentin Quire C3G MARVEL SUPER SECRET EXCLUSIVE 48 NOT JUST ANOTHER MUTANT BOOSTER Comic PDF Mini PDF The figure used for this unit is a Heroclix figure from the Wolverine and the X-Men set. Its model number and name are #028 / Kid Omega. _________________________________________________________________ Character Bio - Many teenagers strain under authority figures and attempt to push the limits of the traditional power structure. Of course, when that teenager is an Omega level Mutant telepath, those small rebellions tend not to be so small. Quentin Quire's first major struggle came at the Xavier Academy. Under the influence of the drug Kick, Quentin and a small group of Mutant students following him -going by the name of the Omega Gang- caused a riot at Xavier's school. Though the riot was quickly stopped, the damage was done and the combination of Quentin's psionic abilities and Kick was slowly killing Quentin. The Mutant healer Xorn exposed Quentin to the miniature star in his head, which appeared to kill Quentin though it was later revealed that he had simply moved to a higher plane of existence. Later, in its search for a host, the Phoenix Force would awaken Quentin and reconstitute his body. Though the Phoenix Force moved on, it was revealed that Quentin would later be a host to Phoenix, keeping it under control more than any previous host except for Jean Grey. After being revived, Quentin first tried to continue his rebellions against the X-Men, but he was defeated. Rather than imprison him, Wolverine made a deal to enroll him in the newly formed Jean Grey Institute for Higher Learning for rehabilitation. Under the close watch of Wolverine, Quentin's rebellious nature was directed in a better way, though he will always remain a troublemaker. _________________________________________________________________ -Rulings and Clarifications-

Re: The Book of Quentin Quire - Design Phase
NAME = QUENTIN QUIRE
SPECIES = MUTANT UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO CLASS = TELEPATH PERSONALITY = REBELLIOUS SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 4 LIFE = 4 MOVE = 5 RANGE = 4 ATTACK = 3 DEFENSE = 4 POINTS = 130 DELINQUENT MUTANT SIDEKICK After revealing an Order Marker on the Army Card of any other Unique Mutant Hero you control, you must immediately roll the 20-sided die. If you roll 8 or lower, you may not take any turns with Quentin Quire until the next time you reveal an Order Marker. If you roll 9 or higher, before taking a turn with that Mutant, you must take an immediate turn with Quentin Quire. If Quentin Quire takes a turn with this special power, you may not take any additional turns with other figures you control other than that Mutant. PSYCHIC ASSAULT Instead of moving and attacking with Quentin Quire, you may choose a figure within 5 spaces and roll the 20-sided die. If you roll 8-13, choose one of the following effects to use. If you roll 14-17, choose two of the following effects to use. If you roll 18 or higher, use all three of the following effects:

Re: The Book of Quentin Quire - Design Phase
Basically, he's a pain-in-the-*** punk with incredible power. He's rebellious and hard to work with, but if you can convince him to help you, his potential is enormous. The goal is to make him hard to play with Mutant leaders, disrupting Xavier or Cyclops bonding, but working well with a single hero.
I also had this power on him before, but I cut it to simplify the card: PSIONIC SHIELD An opponent may never take temporary or permanent control of Quentin Quire or any figure you control that is within 2 spaces of Quentin Quire. That or Mental Shield would be a good fit if we want to add something more.

Re: The Book of Quentin Quire - Design Phase
I like him with just two powers - there's a lot going on with both of them, so he's definitely interesting without needing to push in another one.
Rebel Mutant Sidekick is cool and fitting. I think it needs a name change, though, if only because it's SO different than Jason Todd's Rebel Vigilante Sidekick (Jason's forces you to take a turn if you fail, Quentin's denies a turn). I'd suggest "Delinquent Mutant Sidekick" - because he's a delinquent by nature, if you roll low he'll be delinquent in his duties, and his name has a "quent" in it. Psychic Assault is a great mechanic - it scales super well, particularly the "view Order Markers" and "remove Order Markers" power, which are decent alone and powerful together. I'm surprised we've never done something like it before; it feels like such a natural evolution of the "bullet point choice" style. I think the die rolls could use fiddling with (my gut says to narrow the "pick two" roll a bit), but that's an issue for testing. Yeah, overall, good stuff.

Re: The Book of Quentin Quire - Design Phase
I'm good with a name change. I like Delinquent Mutant Sidekick too.
Props to V for Psychic Assault. It's completely borrowed from a write-up he had for Emma Frost, but I think it's super fitting here, and the D20 allows the theme to come through.

Re: The Book of Quentin Quire - Design Phase
Honestly, the two powers you have capture the character well and are pretty wordy, so I'd just stick with a 2-power card here (though it's hard for me not to push for a Psychic Shotgun SA ). I agree with a name change for Rebel Mutant Sidekick though.
I could see some number tweaks to Psychic Assault as we go, but overall I really like the design. So happy we finally have Quentin being added to the game!

Re: The Book of Quentin Quire - Design Phase
Yeah, that was a hard cut, but it just felt like it would be too much. I added normal range to cover that though, so I can at least imagine it!

Re: The Book of Quentin Quire - Design Phase
Mental Shield is a bit of a bummer to leave off just for the sake of immunities, but if a two power card is popular, I won't argue. There's a lot going on with those two powers.
For the first power, the use of "that Mutant" seems a bit off. I'm clear on what you're referring to, but it feels imprecise - or at least uses language that doesn't seem like anything we've used previously. I don't have a better option off hand and it's not a deal-breaker for me, but it seems worth considering. Some other suggested word sharpening: PSYCHIC ASSAULT Instead of moving and attacking with Quentin Quire, you may choose an opponent’s figure within 5 spaces that does not have the Mental Shield special power. Roll the 20-sided die. If you roll 1-9, nothing happens. If you roll 10-15, you may choose one of the following effects to use. If you roll 16-19, you may choose up to two of the following effects to use. If you roll 20 or higher, you may use all three of the following effects:

After the breathing period, I'll update with suggested wording changes. I'm not a big fan of making the wound an unblockable attack die though. It's already relying on a D20 and it's limited to a single wound, so I really don't think it's a balance issue. He's already swingy enough that I'd like to avoid making him swingier.

"The chosen figure receives one automatic wound." Or even just "The chosen figure receives one wound." It looks like we've been inconsistent with how we've worded this type of thing in the past, unfortunately (and not surprisingly). I think that keeping the "unblockable" language to instances in which a die is rolled is a good way to avoid confusion, though. C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.
