The Book of Jackal

Hmm. I think, to balance him competitively, that's the right move. That way, figures like Hulk can't be continuously brought back.

Does this look good for the once per Unique Hero restriction?

EXPERIMENTAL CLONING 15
Before placing Order Markers for any round, you may choose any previously destroyed Unique Human, Mutate, or Clone Hero and roll the 20-sided die. If you roll 15 or higher, remove all Wound Markers from the chosen Hero’s Army Card and place the chosen Hero on any empty space adjacent to Jackal. If the chosen Hero was a Clone, place 2 Wound Markers on its card. You now control the chosen Hero, and it has the species of Clone and the class of Experiment instead of what is listed on its card. A Unique Hero may only be chosen once for Experimental Cloning 15.

Might want to add in Event too.

That's a design change. Only Unique Heroes are clone-able right now, and I'd really rather not add in Event Heroes as that would require more testing.

[quozl]

Cool. I missed that.

I thought the whole reason we added the "clones start off with wounds" bit was to avoid that restriction?

[Karat]

We did, but after those higher point value games, it's seeming like it's going to be necessary after all to balance him competitively, unless of course we aren't too worried about how crazy it could become in high point level games. Granted, a bump in the wounds the Clones start with after being cloned might help rectify that too

I don't have a problem with the "once per hero" restriction, it just seems excessive/odd when combined with the "clones start with wounds" part.

[Karat]

True, we could probably cut that part if we go with the once per Unique Hero restriction. Either way we go it's going to require more testing, so let's have a poll:

A Up the # of wounds a Clone starts with to it's life # -2; or
B Once per Unique Hero restriction dropping the Clones start wounded restriction; or
C When a clone is destroyed remove it from the game.

I'll hold off for now to not skew the feedback I receive.

How about wounds equal to Life-2 ?

I like that. updating the poll to that.

A. & C. When a clone is destroyed remove it from the game.
