The Book of General Zod

[IAmBatman]

Would this benefit from the insertion of some "one-at-a-time" language?

Yeah, but the Marrden Hounds aren't worded very well in my opinion.

How about:

GENERAL OF NEW KRYPTON
After revealing an Order Marker on this card and instead of taking a turn with General Zod, you may:
* take a turn with 1 Unique Kryptonian Hero you control; or
* move up to 2 Kryptonian Soldier Heroes you control; or
* roll one unblockable attack die against each enemy figure that is adjacent to one or more Kryptonian Spy Heroes you control.

[quozl]

That works.

[IAmBatman]

Yep, that works. Though I don't mind the even more liberal version where each Spy rolls for each figure that Spy is adjacent to, I suppose the Marrden Hound version is at least a move towards a more powerful Zod. (Or more clearly powerful if this was the intention all along!).

That's how that version works, Bats.

That change works for me. Since we're (possibly) making a mechanical change, I just want to make sure the CRB doesn't think this can be abused. @dok @Dysole @Soundwarp SG-1 @weebaer

OK. I'm confused. Here are two possible interpretations. Please tell me which is true:

1. Infiltrator Red and Infiltrator Blue are both adjacent to Superman. I roll one combat dice for each of them, with the potential to do two wounds to Superman.

2. Infiltrator Red and Infiltrator Blue are both adjacent to Superman. I roll one combat die total, with the potential to do one wound to Superman.

Which is it? Because I was speaking of the former and the writer up reads to me as the latter ....

Okay, I thought you were still reading it as only spy got to roll for each figure adjacent. It is the latter option.

[IAmBatman]

OK, that's what I thought. The former would have been even better, IMO, but as I said in my other post, the latter is still an improvement and still a change that makes me happy. You just have to spread them out more (but it limits how much they can impact a single unique hero).

[Spidey'tilIDie]

On a slightly off topic note, wouldn't it be cool if each Spy could roll for each person they are adjacent to, but a max of one wound was possible?
So, both Red Spy and Blue Spy could roll against Superman, but if both rolled skulls Supes would only take one wound. BUT, if either whiffed, the other still had a chance to hit him. Seems like it would beef up tremendously an underutilized design.

No concerns from me.

[weebaer]

Oh good. Zod has ALWAYS underperformed, which is not consistent with his character. Glad to see him getting a boost.

I like the first option beter too @IAmBatman a would for each spy doesnt seem too powerful to me.

[IAmBatman]

Heh. Maybe if you can get all the competitive guys to say so, @weebaer you can talk the Heroes into it.
