[Lord Pyre]

No changes here other than swapping the callouts to Rookies per the plans for Titans.

[IAmBatman]

I wonder if the first ability should be faction-specific? Could always let her recruit if you are afraid of losing builds. But the title feels like it should be a bonus to the Young Justice faction.

[Lord Pyre]

I personally prefer not restricting it, it's only +1 attack with some caveats, nothing game breaking.

[japes]

We discussed that and the YA folks didn't think it was an issue and since both those teams are relatively small and overlap thematically just different publishers that it seemed ok to let it be Rookies so that those armies didn't get stale.

Plus she will likely not work well with other leader since she wants those OM either spread out or on her.

[IAmBatman]

You could probably lift some of the other restrictions as a trade off. But I know you want to do a more direct conversion so that is probably too much

[Lord Pyre]

I'm also just not huge on using faction tags as synergy too much anyway, even with recruitment. Prefer to keep it clean and simple, unless we really need a thematic team and there's no other easier way to tie them together. This just helps a handful of figures fight slightly better, so I'm happier as is.

But also, it's not my design so if everyone else wants to change how she works, do what you want!

[IAmBatman]

Just for posterity, the *only* reason I brought it up is the ability title, which name drops the faction. Name dropping the faction but not using it mechanically just strikes me as a tad aesthetically odd. Not a dealbreaker, though.

[Arch-vile]

Keeping Rookie + Sidekick in the YJAP power works for me. Having a mix of faction callouts in one power but 2 class callouts in the next power would be really messy.

Some wording notes:
- don't capitalize cards but do capitalize Attack
- enemy figure -> enemy
- attacking figure -> attacker
- When rolling defense dice -> when defending

YOUNG JUSTICE ATTACK PLAN
If none of your other cards have 2+ Order Markers on them, the first time each turn a Rookie or Sidekick Hero on your team attacks an adjacent figure, that Hero has +1 Attack.

HIT ANYTHING THAT’S MOVING!
After each space an enemy moves, roll a d20 once for each Rookie or Sidekick on your team adjacent to that figure, adding 6 to the roll if there is an Order Marker on this card. On a 18+, that Rookie or Sidekick inflicts 1 wound on that enemy.

COUNTER STRIKE
When defending against a normal attack from an adjacent attacker, all excess shields count as unblockable hits on the attacker.

[IAmBatman]

I’d say 2+ instead of more than 1. I’d put in an “each turn” before that last comma in the first ability.

[Arch-vile]

Good call. Though I went with "the first time each turn" instead of putting the "each turn" at the end of that sentence.

[IAmBatman]

Is the +1 attack basically once per turn for your entire team or once per turn for each figure?
