The Book of King of Spades

I wouldn't mind a life of 6 to represent that power instead. Would still increase his value, but not as much as Immortality.

[johnny139]

Yeah, definitely would be in favor of trimming here. I think any of the three non-Flush powers could go, but I agree immortality is the one to trim at this point.

For the first power - is his charisma "enhanced" as in he has powers, or just something he's really good at?

But yeah, think he's a solid draft, looking forward to seeing how he plays.

Joe Carney was naturally charismatic. He was given "technology" to enhance that. I know it's silly, but that's the way comics were back then. His immortality was actually created by a metagene bomb, and it's super powerful. He was shot in the heart and like 1 minute later stood up completely fine. He would be the only member to be a metahuman. If we take out immortality we can make him a human to match (most) of the rest of the gang

[johnny139]

Yeah, I figured something like that with the charisma.

I'd honestly probably lean toward high life in that case, whatever we can justify at 225. The more survivability the better on these guys.

50 points.

[fret_gurglo]

Ok. So that would bring him down to a 240 estimate. Still a little high, but we will see how he fairs. Thanks

And I linked the modification instructions in the OP from Tickle. Thanks, you are the best.

I plan to make alternative cards without the card on them for people who do not want to purchase 4 copies of the same figure.

[fret_gurglo]

And I have been hatching a plan so that others can just create their own "cards" for them to fly on. I'm waiting for an order from T&T to see how well it will work.

[tcglkn]

Cool, just figured a figure without a flying card might be easier and prefered for some people.

[tcglkn]

I’ll go ahead and plan on doing the initial here. I have an initial that I plan to finish tomorrow and then I will hit this guy. Excited about this faction.

[fret_gurglo]

Alright, breathing period over. First change is to remove immortality. He needs that cost to come down and I think 4 powers is too many anyway.

Taking what Japes suggested (with a slight modification), what do others think of this change to Royal Flush:

Royal Flush 13
After taking a turn with King you may choose another figure you control with the Royal Flush power and roll the 20-sided die adding 3 to the roll if the chosen figure is Ace. After rolling the die and the chosen figure is Ace, you may reveal the X order marker on this card to add 3 to the result. If you roll 13 or higher you may take a turn with the chosen figure. Royal Flush can only be used if you revealed an Order Marker on a card with this special power at the beginning of your turn.

I really want this power to encourage players to start with the low card (ten) and work up to the high card (Ace), but I like the flexibility to work around that. This should give a good chance to take turns up the chain and a gamble to go out of turn. Thoughts?

[tcglkn]

The problem with that is now you can just bounce back and forth between King and Queen if you want. There's no limit on once per turn per figure.
