The Book of Meggan
The Book of Meggan C3G MARVEL PUBLIC EXCLUSIVE COLLECTION 13 CHAMPIONS AND ILLUSIONISTS The figure used for this design is a Heroclix figure from the Sinister set. Its model number and name are #076-078 / Meggan. Its model number and name are #214 / Goblin Princess. _________________________________________________________________ Character Bio - Born in a blizzard to a British Romanichal family near Fenborough Station in England, Meggan adapted to the cold by growing fur, to the horror of her family. Unfortunately, as an empathic metamorph, the more they saw her as a monster, the more monstrous she became, growing webbing upon her hands and feet, antennae on her head, claws, and patagia. Eventually, she met Captain Britain and fought him, but then befriended him, and finally fell in love with him, joining him as an adventurer. After having been told by a telepath that her inner soul looked as beautiful "as an iridescent butterfly", she stabilized her powers on an attractive form that pleased Brian (and thus pleased her). Captain Britain fell in love right back, and the two began a romantic relationship. Meggan then fought Gatecrasher's Technet alongside Captain Britain, Nightcrawler, Phoenix, and Shadowcat, and with them became a founding member of Excalibur.

Re: The Book of Meggan (Meggan Puceanu) (Design Phase)
NAME = MEGGAN
SECRET IDENTITY = MEGGAN PUCEANU SPECIES = MUTANT UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO CLASS = EMPATH PERSONALITY = SENSITIVE SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5 LIFE = 4 MOVE = 5 RANGE = 4 ATTACK = 4 DEFENSE = 4 POINTS = 205 EMPATHIC METAMORPH At the start of the game, you may choose a small, medium, or large Unique Hero you control that is not an Android, Construct, or Undead. Meggan is considered to have the species, class, and personality of the chosen Hero instead of what is on this card. POWER MIMICRY 13 At the beginning of Meggan's turn, you may choose an adjacent Unique Hero. Roll the 20-sided die. If you roll 13 or higher, for the rest of Meggan's turn you may use any special powers on the chosen figure's Army Card, except powers that can only be used once per round or game. If the special power refers to the chosen figure or the chosen figure's card, it refers to Meggan or Meggan's card instead.

Re: The Book of Meggan (Meggan Puceanu) (Design Phase)
Technically I think we're supposed to wait until Firestorm passes, but he's 60% of the way there so no big deal.
Honestly, I'm completely fine with the design as-is. Surprised to find out she's a Mutant, though - always assumed she was just a magical elf or something equally British. I guess my only niggle would be whether or not the "easier to Mimic when the figure is a Mutant" is really thematic or not. But I'm not experienced enough with the character to say either way.

I think this power would extremely reusable if you just bumped the roll, and removed the easier to Mimic Mutants thing. life's short, why not make an impact on the world? make some peoples lives better, have a few good laughs, and then when it's all over go out with BANG! |

Re: The Book of Meggan (Meggan Puceanu) (Design Phase)
I don't believe there has ever been any discussion that she has an easier time mimicing the powers of mutants, but she did it much more often. I also figured that making it harder to mimic others would reduce the number of builds we would have to really worry about in testing.
FWIW the power text is more or less a direct copy of Impossible Man's Shapeshifting Prankster, only with Mutants getting the boost instead of Scientists/Adventurers. |

Re: The Book of Meggan (Meggan Puceanu) (Design Phase)
fwiw, I like class and species based restrictions for the sake of competitive balance. Since it's only a boost here, though, I'm not sure how much that applies.
C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

Re: The Book of Meggan (Meggan Puceanu) (Design Phase)
Well you know I like it!

I kind of thought that as well. I don't remember her species being definitively stated in Excalibur, but it's been a while since I read any of the series. Wikipedia lists her species as a "Neuri" but doesn't go into anymore detail and later says she is a Mutant. Comicvine also has her listed as a Mutant, so I'd stick with that. Especially given that she'll use Empathic Metamorph in most games and end up with a Species from that anyway.

Re: The Book of Meggan (Meggan Puceanu) (Design Phase)
I really love where this design is at. A couple thoughts:
1) Tricky doesn't feel quite right for her personality to me; my first thought would be to do something like "Unstable" or "Adaptable". 2) Could we have Empathic Metamorph also change her personality? Seems like it should thematically, and I can't think of any serious balance issues if it did (I mean, you could pair her with Red Skull so she could use the cube, but due to her stats being lower then Red Skull's I don't see that as a big deal).

As I said, I don't think it's ever been said that she's better at mimicking other mutants, but she does it more often. It was kind of a theme thing. I could drop it if people are more comfortable with that. Quote:

Fearless and Valiant and Tricky and Patriotic all work for me, but Brilliant and Insane and Ruthless don't, as much. All told I lean slightly against adding personality. I could be convinced otherwise but that's my lean. |

Firestorm has been past the 24 hours but SirG has been busy lately and I want to give him a chance to look over everything before calling it done. 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 Meggan (Meggan Puceanu) (Design Phase)
Yeah, I'm not big on 'Tricky' for Personality. 'Adaptable' is better, though it doesn't seem perfect. 'Empathetic' works but an Empathetic Empath might be overkill. 'Sensitive', maybe?
