Just kidding, I've been maxed out for a while now. I'm just running up the score at this point.

I didn't know there was a limit!

I have the max number of OMs under my name. The number still goes up for me though.

Also on the last power you suggested, it just feels like Healing Factor with extra markers so I'd rather give him Healing Factor or Unstoppable Resilience at that point.

Yeah, I'm struggling with getting this power right. Maybe I'm overthinking it.

If we want an “absorbing” feel:

BODY OF SOUND
After Klaw defends against an attack from an opponent’s figure, if he is not destroyed, remove a Wound Marker from this card.

I could see going that route. If we did, I'd raise his life to 4, defense to 6 and add to the end:

...or roll an unblockable attack against an adjacent opponent(or within 2 spaces?)

Someone shared a future design of someone that Klaw works with and that last line ties in with one of its powers perfectly.

I like this direction, although it feels less immortal. Maybe I need to get over that.

I’d probably switch it and do L6D4. The enemey should feel like they’re able to make some progress, even with weaker attackers.

Rolling an unblockable ever time he’s attacked is going to be pretty potent. Would be interested if you could DM me what character/design you’re talking about, if it’s posted somewhere.

I read your power wrong. To clarify it would say:


BODY OF SOUND

Swapping life and defense makes sense.

I miss the destruction save.

Funnily, the destruction save was the thing that worked the least for me. Different strokes, I guess - I jus feel like "once per round, you aren't destroyed!" has been pretty codified in our game as a 'superior willpower' type thing. I know bios and stuff say Klaw can reform himself through force of will, but I've never seen him as a character who is nearly as driven as Daredevil, Thing, Nova, etc.

[IAmBatman]

I think the "evil thing that you think you destroyed and then it just completely reforms itself and the villain says something like 'is that all you've got?' or 'are we finished playing?'" is a pretty tried and true theme that can be reflected in that mechanic just as effectively.

[MrNobody]

I tend to think that's conveyed better by something like Michael Myers or Dr. Manhattan. But again, that's probably just a matter of taste.

[Ericth74]

What if we drop the healing and go with this? With 6 life and 4 defense?


BODY OF SOUND
Once per round, if Klaw would be destroyed by receiving wounds, he instead takes no damage. If Klaw is attacked and takes no damage you may roll an unblockable attack against a figure within 2 clear sight spaces.
