_________________________________________________________________

Character Bio - The Spider-Man from Earth-13 retained the powers of the Enigma Force. Sometime during Spider-UK's search for the source behind the death of the spiders, he found this reality, and it became the refuge for many of the Spider-Men, whom were hunted by the Inheritors. As strong as the Inheritors were, they were still severely outclassed when compared to someone with such power, and therefore did not dare to step foot into this dimension. However, he could only assist them to this extent as he would lose the Enigma Force if he were to leave his universe. This resulted in the resistance of Spider-heroes to be based in the Central Park of Earth-13. - (Marvel Fandom wiki, 2021)

Interesting. The last power reads a tad confusing. Just want to make sure it's clearly worded so that it doesn't prevent you from attacking him as well. 90% sure that's the case, but I have future visions of Toyhandle asking about how it works .... so want to make sure we have it buttoned up.

I'd probably start around 360? It's definitely a powerful grouping of special abilities. I wouldn't be surprised if he goes up from there.

[MrNobody]

Definitely one I think we should keep an eye on competitively. A low-roll spider-sense and a “Hey, you just can’t attack my friends” power seems like a really powerful combination.

Just to be clear on the interaction, Spider-Boy’s Daring Decoy overrules this power?

[tcglkn]

Correct, they wouldn’t be able to attack Captain Universe.

Also that power is just missing an other in there so it works. We can always add a range to the protection.

[Lord Pyre]

Ooh, great to see him started. An automatic "No attacking others" clause is pretty hefty, really screws over ranged guys. Also a good pairing with Spider-Knight. Another option if it's too strong competitively is to instead have him give other Spiders autoshields or something. Might be a bit of a beast to test.

[tcglkn]

I'm honestly surprised I didn't put a range on this. I'll probably give the effect a 4-6 space radius that he protects. It wasn't really a problem with Sayd and Larfleeze and she has 9 Defense.

[Lord Pyre]

Yeah then I wouldn't be as concerned. Still very good since UK especially gives the Spiders a ton of mobility to stay in the same range, but it'll still help!

[japes]

I think the fear comes from the combo of super low row spider sense AND the 6 defense. Normal Spidey with only 3 Def is annoying.

I think the Ranged limiter is a good call and may be enough.

[tcglkn]

I propose we move to Initial Playtesting
