Public Design Workshop

[Arkham]

He uses guns starting in the MK Special Forces spinoff game, and Deadly Alliance as far as main games are concerned. In MK2 he has the energy wave projectile, and MK3 he has the missile/flying projectile come out from his fist though, so it still technically works if we’re strictly going classic, though in general I try to account for their entire history.

[IAmBatman]

Pounding Fists specifies normal attack, so you could always represent range in a special.

Operative, Agent, Commando would all be fitting I think.

i don't think she'd be odd at all in any of the Operative synergies, current or planned. She's the right power level.

That does sound like a great fit.

Here's an updated Jax Design!

SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5

LIFE = 4

RANGE = 1

POUNDING FISTS
Figures without the Super Strength special power roll 1 fewer defense die against Jax’s normal attack. If Jax inflicts one or more wounds with his normal attack, he may attack the same figure one additional time.


MACHINE GUN SPECIAL ATTACK
Range: 4 Attack: 4+Special
When Jax attacks with this special attack, if at least one skull is rolled, he may attack again. He may continue attacking, rolling 1 fewer attack die for each subsequent attack, until you fail to roll a skull.


“GOTCHA”
If an opponent’s small or medium figure would move out of engagement with Jax, roll one unblockable attack die against that figure. If you roll a skull, that figure's turn immediately ends, and you may continue rolling an unblockable attack die against that figure until you do not roll a skull.

[Arkham]

I'd make the unblockable on Gotcha just part of the leaving engagement. Like this:

“GOTCHA”
If you roll a skull against a small or medium figure leaving an engagement with Jax, that figure may not leave the engagement with him this turn, and you may roll an unblockable attack die against that figure until you do not roll a skull.

I'd probably go with a range of 5 for his gun/energy wave, then go with Brutal Double Attack for the double adjacent attack:

BRUTAL DOUBLE ATTACK
When Jax attacks with an adjacent normal attack, he may attack one additional time. After each adjacent normal attack with Jax, if he inflicted one or more wounds on the defending figure and that figure has only one Life remaining, roll an unblockable attack die against that figure.

That way you can still represent his Ground Pound ability.

[redstang]

Made some recommended changes to Jax. Came up with a different name for his double attack.

Are you thinking of scrapping the Machine Gun SA altogether and changing is normal range to 5, or upping the range on his SA to 5?

[redstang]

My other idea was to up his normal range to 5 and then change his SA to some type of rocket launcher SA that mirrors Punisher's Rocket SA. Thoughts?

[Splash]

Just my two bits, I'd just give him normal range 5 and do Ground Pound, Bionic Arms, and Gotcha and then just make sure the adjacent wording is in there. I don't see his machine gun usage/or any weapons as just as iconic as those three things.

[Arkham]

I was suggesting base range of 4-5 to represent his use of projectiles, be it guns, missiles, or energy waves, that way you could get a Ground Pound on there instead. A Ground Pound Special Attack is an alternative to your original approach for it as well.

Range = 4

BRUTAL DOUBLE ATTACK

GROUND POUND / GROUND POUND SPECIAL ATTACK

GOTCHA

That setup feels like it encompasses everything Jax.

[redstang]

Updates made.

GROUND POUND
Before moving Jax, you may choose the space Jax occupies or a space within 3 spaces of Jax. Move all figures adjacent to the chosen space by placing them each on an empty space within 1 space of their original placement. A figure moved by Ground Pound never takes leaving engagement attacks. A non-flying figure moved lower by Ground Pound can receive any falling damage that may apply. If the chosen space is not the space Jax currently occupies, you may roll an unblockable attack die against the figure or destructible object occupying it.

BRUTAL DOUBLE ATTACK
When Jax attacks with an adjacent normal attack, he may attack one additional time. After each adjacent normal attack with Jax, if he inflicted one or more wounds on the defending figure and that figure has only one Life remaining, roll an unblockable attack die against that figure.

“GOTCHA”
If an opponent’s small or medium figure would leave engagement with Jax, roll one unblockable attack die against that figure. If you roll a skull, that figure may not leave the engagement with him this turn, and you may roll an unblockable attack die against that figure until you do not roll a skull.
