The Book of Polaris
The Book of Polaris 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 #025 / Polaris. _________________________________________________________________ Character Bio - Lorna Dane's life is one of tragedy. When her mutant powers first activated, she was only a child, and the the uncontrollable nature of her abilities caused an accidental plane crash that killed her parents. In the aftermath of the crash, her real father, Magneto, ordered the villain Mastermind to wipe her memories, creating a host of psychological and emotional problems that Lorna still battles with to this day. Later on, when her mutant powers fully activated she was recruited by the X-Men, where she met Havok, with whom she shared a romantic connection. Lorna, who took the codename Polaris, was never fully comfortable with the superhero lifestyle. However many times she left though, she was always drawn back in. Once because of possession by the evil entity Malice, and other times due to her love for Havok or desire to help the mutant cause. As Polaris, Lorna has been a member of the X-Men, the Brotherhood, the Starjammers, and multiple iterations of X-Factor, where she battles not only villains, but her own demons. _________________________________________________________________ -Rulings and Clarifications-

Re: The Book of Polaris - Design Phase
NAME = POLARIS
SECRET IDENTITY = LORNA DANE SPECIES = MUTANT UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO CLASS = PROTECTOR PERSONALITY = UNSTABLE SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5 LIFE = 4 MOVE = 5 RANGE = 5 ATTACK = 4 DEFENSE = 4 POINTS = 200 MAGNETIC BUBBLE Start the game with a green Magnetic Bubble Marker on this card. Once per round, after moving with Polaris, you may place your Magnetic Bubble Marker on this card or the card of a Unique Hero within 4 clear sight spaces. A figure with your Magnetic Bubble Marker on its card adds one automatic shield to whatever is rolled when defending against a non-adjacent attack. If Polaris or a figure with your Magnetic Bubble Marker on its card receives one or more wounds, return the marker to this card. MAGNETIC BUBBLE TRAP Before an opponent moves a figure with your Magnetic Bubble Marker on its card, that opponent must roll the 20-sided die. If that opponent rolls 15 or lower, that figure may not move. If that opponent rolls 16 or higher, return your Magnetic Bubble Marker to this card. REACTIVE TOSS 14 If an opponent’s small or medium figure moves adjacent to Polaris, you may roll the 20-sided die. If you roll 14 or higher, that figure's movement ends. Place the figure on any empty space within 3 spaces of its original placement. Tossed figures do not take any leaving engagement attacks and may only be targeted as they move into engagement with Polaris.

Because she is locking them down with a magnetic bubble...hard to get through. Would I want it to be everything I love...sure...but that's just not realistic so I'm going to focus on finding things that will make me unhappy and work on fixing those. |

Re: The Book of Polaris - Design Phase
After some more thought, I'm deciding on the second verion, with some tweaks (auto-shield for all, no D20, once-per-round). Which brings us to this:

The Math
I ran some numbers and Blob basically becomes twice as hard to kill. It makes him very powerful but I'm not certain brokenly so. Either way, testing with Blob is definitely something to do here.

Re: The Book of Polaris - Design Phase
I also realized that Reactive Toss didn't play exactly as intended. I'd like to change it to:

Re: The Book of Polaris - Design Phase
I'm not tied to a specific cost either, so yeah, there are ways to boost her up if a D20 weakens her too far. So how about:

Also, can the card color be more of the green from the comic instead of the mini? That baby food split pea soup green is not very attractive. |

Re: The Book of Polaris - Design Phase
No, on closer review, there a couple of additional things that need to be addressed.
In a mirror match does the marker of Polaris A effect Polaris B? Is it the intent that the marker prevents a friendly figure from moving, attacking, etc.? |

Re: The Book of Polaris - Design Phase
@japes
, there was also a small change to Magnetic Bubble Trap.
Quote:
No. It has a chance to prevent opponent's figures from moving, and does not stop anyone's attacks (Bats, that may have been part of why you found her underwhelming). Originally, that was the intent, but the power went through a few changes in the design phase and that was dropped because we were having trouble fully balancing it.
