Batman may attack up to 3 times with this attack action if he does not attack the same figure more than once. Before Batman attacks a figure adjacent to him or his ally, you may roll a d20. On a 16+, the defender receives 1 wound in a damage type of your choice.

Big things I'm waffling on are the title of the first ability and his cost. I could see dropping life back down to 4 to get his cost under 250 if that helps with the Trinity build.

Looks good and simple. Is the d20 before each attack?

I'd prefer points stay the same unless we're not attached to any army builds he's been a part of?

The two main army pairings that I really enjoyed in 1.0 were the Trinity 1000 point one (which I'm striving to preserve and make more of a marquee) and pairings with JL Zatanna, who can fill in any gaps with spells.

Fwiw, any point adjustments would be downwards with him, not upwards. I don't want him going over 250. Theoretically that'd make it easier for him to fit in some builds. It'd also give space for the 250 point Batman (II) to be in some builds in place of him.

And the d20 is intended to be before each relevant attack, yeah.

[Yodaking]

I feel MMA was pretty good when paired with 5/5 stats, so losing it might have dropped him down a bit anyway without changing his life. Kind of preferred the SA version I wrote up where he could attack the same figure multiple times with the SA and every attack got +1 hit & a damage type, as I felt that was a bit stronger and thus more likely to keep him at 250. Also it made him roll the d20 more while burning his own marker for another attack seemed more satisfying.

[IAmBatman]

Yeah, I went with the 5 life due to figuring the loss of MM reduced his survivability. I don't mind going to 4 life and making him more dependent on allies to keep him alive, though, if it feels useful for fitting armies together.

I don't think keeping him at 250 is essential, especially with another Batman at that price point in 1.0. If he drops a tad, it'd give Superman room to go up a tad while keeping that 1000 point Trinity army.

Could definitely fiddle around the edges with his special attack but am probably at the point where I want to see how stuff plays before tweaking too much. I do like that with this version he's better if he's got support from his allies. It's another way to kind of push the "teamwork" element of the design.

[IAmBatman]

Lets send this to initial playtesting! My plan is to test him and Supes together with Wonder Woman first, then separately.
