The Book of Phoenix Force

[tcglkn]

I'm not in a rush, but it does bother me a bit that no one seems to have an interest in running an Initial here (at least no one has spoken up for it in 2 days...). Are there still concerns, or does someone wanna put it on their to-do list for me?

[Ronin]

I'm spread a little too thin to step up right at the moment, or I'd help out. I'm working on wrapping up with Blue Beetle and then I've got to hit Leader, Skull and Batman.

[Karat]

I still have an initial of my own to hit before I can even think about this one plus I'm probably one of our slower testers right now.

[tcglkn]

No worries, like I said I can wait, just don't want it the design to fade to oblivion. Thanks for chiming in gents.

I'm in a weird spot where I was at a Con most of last week and then I leave for Spring Break Saturday morning, so I haven't set up a map to do any testing this week. I'd like to do a bunch of tests while I'm home for Spring Break, though.

So, just so I'm clear on the intent, if you choose Phoenix (Jean Grey) as your Avatar here and she's attacked and takes a wound, she rolls 4 unblockable attack dice against each adjacent figure, right?

That might be a more powerful combo than Phoenix Force and Cable ....

Not sure how you're getting 4? I'm only seeing 2 tops.

However it needs worded, and maybe it’s just built into the Avatar power, but I think it should be 1 die for an avatar, and 2 die if that figure already has Phoenix Fire. That’s the approach I was digging.

[Ronin]

Can a figure have the same special power twice? Not sure that's ground we've trodden. I can reword it if Tickle clarifies how many dice he wants an Avatar with Phoenix Fire rolling (and how many dice he wants an Avatar without Phoenix Fire rolling)

It's a good question. I'd think it'd be desirable to just add some language in the first power specifying if they don't already have it or something. We've mostly only granted powers like Super Strength or Flying in the past where doubling up would be mechanically irrelevant.

Agreed. Best to just word it in a way that sidesteps the issue.

[tcglkn]

Yea my intent was not to have it double up like that. Good catch. I like the intent behind your last wording there.
