Character Bio - The man behind the mask of the Jack of Spades is unnamed, his secret identity is never revealed. He was a famous gigolo, a women’s man who made a living out of his charm and appeal. During one of his thefts, he accidentally killed his client. Facing the corpse of the dead woman, without knowing what to do and waiting for the cops to arrive, Jack was found by Ace (the android), who made him an offer he simply couldn’t refuse. Being now a wanted man, the gigolo agreed to become the new Jack of Spades, erasing every trace of his previous identity. One of his eyes was forcibly removed and then replaced with a optic laser blaster, making him a one-eyed jack.

Please don't do the (x points) stuff in the SP.

I was really undecided as to which SA of Optic Blast to go with. I thought I would allow the public to decide.

Ok. I will edit it out

[MrNobody]

Firstly, we’re gonna need to do a slight rename, cause Cyclops I already has an Optic Blast SA.

I personally prefer Option 3. Having that big attack will be nice for the faction, and the non-adjacency clause gives some interesting interactions with Queen. (She can use Deceptions to pull him out of engagement.)

[tcglkn]

I would lean away from Option 2, because I don't believe the rules allow for King's Command to boost the d20 on Special attacks. Other than that I don't have a strong preference on SA options here.

Do like option 3 for the reasons Nobody stated though.

[Ronin]

I also like Option 3.

[IAmBatman]

What theme are you trying to hit with the special attack? It'll need a name change regardless unless you decide to reuse Cyclops (I)'s Optic Blast Special Attack.

[fret_gurglo]

Looks like option 3 is clear the winner. How about Laser Eye Blast SA? Should I make these changes even during Breathing period or wait the 24 hours.

[Yodaking]

1 or 3, not really into 2 at all. 3 most makes me think about the video clip with him in it that was posted a while back.
