It mostly reads fine but the bolded reads a little funny. Should this say 4 unobstructed spaces or something?

Mostly trying to think it through as it reads weird without calling out clear sight.

[IAmBatman]

Clear =/= unobstructed. You have clear sight if you can see any part of its hitzone. I've just been advocating deleting the "sight" in "clear sight spaces" as I don't feel it adds any clarity compared to just "clear spaces."

Honestly, it makes me think of a space's opacity rather than sight on a figure. Not sure I'm a fan there.

Just let me know when that's done and I'll get back on this group. I have no interest in getting dragged into that debate.

[japes]

So are we going with Heat Resistance here?

[IAmBatman]

I'm in favor

[MrNobody]

It seems like Thing is more resistant to heat than he is to other things. So I’m down.

[japes]

plus it makes for cool interactions with Thing being more resistant to Johnny's shenanigans.

[japes]

added HEAT RESISTANCE to his symbols list.

Ready to move to Final Editing?

CLOBBERIN' TIME
Before The Thing’s Attack Phase, you may choose an allied Adventurer Hero within 4 clear spaces of him. Thing is +1 Attack for each wound the chosen figure has. If The Thing adds at least 4 to his Attack Number this way, he may attack twice per normal attack action.

ROCK WALL DEFENSE 4
If The Thing rolls at 4+ shields while defending a normal attack from an adjacent figure, The Thing avoids damage, and the attacker receives a wound.

Did we ever resolve the Pilot Keyword idea?

[Yodaking]

I did think we had agreed on Pilot being a keyword instead of a class in 2.0. I don't want Luke Skywalker & Han Solo to both have the Pilot class in order to gain any benefits for being a Pilot.
