The Book of Deadpool (III)

[Splash]

Yeah, I think I'm liking @tcglkn 's power more and more as the best option moving forward.

MERC WITH A MOUTH
Opponents' figures attacking Deadpool with a normal attack roll one additional attack die but subtract one skull from whatever is rolled. After rolling defense dice for Deadpool against an opponent's normal attack, if he does not receive any wounds, you may roll one unblockable attack die against the attacking figure.

Another note; I think the last tests established that DP was not worth 300. Do we think he'd be worth 300 with these or similar improvements?

I do think that Merc with the Mouth is better so it’ll increase his value. Consistent healing will too. I’d probably make it just after taking a turn with Deadpool and not tie it to an OM. That way the move and range are affected during the turn. Otherwise that’s gonna feel like trinket text.

It also gives him a riskier brand of undead resilience, because he can heal an additional wound he would receive from an lea by being unengaged. This power more represents him getting his crap together after going ballistic and backing off to take a moment to recover before going after someone again. It also plays into his reduced range, because his options might be more limited if he does become unengaged.

Oh duh yeah, good point on the range. It shortens the power as well, which is good cause otherwise the card'll be looking a bit chunky.

"CRAP, I NEEDED THOSE"
Deadpool must subtract 1 from his Move and Range numbers for each Wound Marker on this card. After taking a turn with Deadpool, remove one Wound Marker from this card, or two Wound Markers from this card if Deadpool is unengaged.

Alternatively the OM requirement could be for the two heals.

"CRAP, I NEEDED THOSE"
Deadpool must subtract 1 from his Move and Range numbers for each Wound Marker on this card. After taking a turn with Deadpool, remove one Wound Marker from this card, or if an Order Marker was revealed on Deadpool this turn, remove two Wound Markers from this card

[tcglkn]

Healing two wounds per turn consistently is a lot. I’d probably just lean towards the simpler one wound version.

[Splash]

So the sleek and simple version then.

"CRAP, I NEEDED THOSE"
Deadpool must subtract 1 from his Move and Range numbers for each Wound Marker on this card. After taking a turn with Deadpool, remove one Wound Marker from this card.

[Ericth74]

I think that version is the one I'd prefer.

[Splash]

So proposing these updates.

NAME = DEADPOOL
SECRET IDENTITY = WADE WILSON

SPECIES = MUTATE
UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO
CLASS = MERCENARY
PERSONALITY = INSANE

SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5

LIFE = 6

MOVE = 5
RANGE = 6
ATTACK = 5
DEFENSE = 5

POINTS = 300

"ME FIRST!"
Start the game with the Glyph of Teleportation Belt on this card. Once per turn, if an enemy figure moves at least one space and ends its movement within clear sight of Deadpool, Deadpool may immediately use his Teleportation Belt as long as he is placed adjacent to that enemy figure. After placing him in this way, he must roll an unblockable attack die against all figures adjacent to him.

MERC WITH A MOUTH
Opponents' figures attacking Deadpool with a normal attack roll one additional attack die but subtract one skull from whatever is rolled. After rolling defense dice for Deadpool against an opponent's normal attack, if he does not receive any wounds, you may roll one unblockable attack die against the attacking figure.

"CRAP, I NEEDED THOSE"
Deadpool must subtract 1 from his Move and Range numbers for each Wound Marker on this card. After taking a turn with Deadpool, remove one Wound Marker from this card.

So overall healing is simplified, and Merc with a Mouth is much less of a bummer and overall quite good for him.

[tcglkn]

Like those changes

[Ericth74]

Yeah, I like this direction. I'd move forward with this.

[IAmBatman]

Those look like good changes. Good work, all.

Updated the SP, what's the main difference between saying opponent's and enemy figures again, I'm seeing Spider-Man has "enemy figures".
