Re: The Book of Reed Richards (Visionary) - Playtesting
What about something like this?
FANTASTIC CONTINGENCY When a glyph placed by Reed’s Visionary Theoretician special power would be lost, you may instead remove it from the game. When an Army Card you control has all of its figures destroyed, before removing that figure from the battlefield, you may move any Order Markers from that card to any other card you control. Forget the hard to pull off/swingy wounding part with the glyph and just make it so he's able to obsolete the tech when it falls into the wrong hands. Feels more like a contingency that way, IMO, and less like a trap, plus it streamlines the power quite a bit. C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

Re: The Book of Reed Richards (Visionary) - Playtesting
Removing the glyphs gets less use out of them, so I don't want to go that direction.

It's optional. You don't have to use it.

I wouldn't use that power.

Re: The Book of Reed Richards (Visionary) - Playtesting
Contingency seems fine here to me. Just because someone is putting Order Markers on Reed doesn't mean the power should be planned around him. There's currently no benefit to him having Order Markers on him, so putting Order Markers on him is just a personal choice rather than a tactical element of the design. Having some risk and reward to the character is fine, doesn't need to be his own safety net.

I concur. If he was more of a OM hog or front line/first strike type of unit, having his own back-up plan would make sense. He seems more of a back line/support type of unit that helps keep everything moving when someone else goes down, which Contingency accomplishes. |

Re: The Book of Reed Richards (Visionary) - Playtesting
Let's just continue with what has already been tested so far. The unblockables haven't been a major flaw or anything in testing, I was just trying to figure out how to make it go off more based on Ericth's feedback. If you read Karat's, final thoughts, I'm sure he'd be unenthused by the prospect of even more unblockables.
EDIT: They were still rolled for every single game. The risk of them still influences opponent figure positioning. As is, they're far more consistently influential than the Kryptonite component of Lex Luthor's Injustice Contingency, which I've never had factor into a game (though I'm sure it does quite a bit in the right match-up).

Re: The Book of Reed Richards (Visionary) - Initial Playtest
With the design dropping to 220 but otherwise remaining the same, here are some possible testing armies:

Re: The Book of Reed Richards (Visionary) - Playtesting
I actually like where this draft was headed, but what if we dropped the Contingency Plan and went more like so? Gives him a slightly more active role and can let you put the 1 on him but use Iron Man instead to trigger the effect and still keep Reed in the back.

Re: The Book of Reed Richards (Visionary) - Playtesting
That would feel like a step down from Contingency Plan IMO. I'd really prefer we stay the course or simplify with regular Contingency and the unblockable thing in the first power. Anything more and we're just sorta getting lost in the weeds and overthinking it, as the design played fine.

Re: The Book of Reed Richards (Visionary) - Playtesting
Really? Seems like a step up to me, but different styles and all. I'd probably just stay the course.
