Re: The Book of Elongated Man (Breathing Period)
I think I'd actually like 'adjacent' better than 'engaged' since, as Ronin said, the rules don't really support decoupling them cleanly. Still makes my CRB senses tingle pretty major though.
I think step one here is really getting everyone agreed on what the power is supposed to do, then we can figure out the right wording and how zany it will end up being. Personally, I don't think we really need full monty 'enrangement' anyway if this guy is supposed to be in the mid hundreds range. That initiative power is already going to give him plenty of drafting potency.

Re: The Book of Elongated Man (Breathing Period)
Personally, I find the locking down ranged figures aspect of engagement more interesting than the leaving engagement attack/preventing movement aspect, if only because we have tons of powers that do auto wounds from range and stop movement from range already. This would feel pretty sameish as those to me.
C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

Re: The Book of Elongated Man (Breathing Period)
I agree there, that is the more unique aspect of the power.

Re: The Book of Elongated Man (Breathing Period)
So the desire and intent is to have him prevent an unengaged figure two spaces away from him from using a ranged attack then? I'm not sure how I feel about that. Seems a bit wonky to expect him to fully engage and distract all figures with in 2 spaces of him to an extent they can't attack others with a gun. How many spaces is that?

Re: The Book of Elongated Man (Breathing Period)
Following along, but I have nothing to add here.
Semi-Retired C3G Hero (and first Official Member of the C3G Target Audience!) The correct way to add C3G playtests to posts. My favorite day EVER on heroscapers.

18 spaces, I believe. Which is what he'd be affecting with the "leaving engagement" style attacks as well.

RIDICULOUS REACH If Elongated Man rolls a skull against a figure leaving engagement with him, that figure cannot leave engagement with Elongated Man this turn. If a figure exactly 2 spaces away from Elongated Man targets a non-adjacent figure with an attack, roll one combat die. If you roll a skull, that figure must attack Elongated Man with that attack instead. Wording is wonky, but I think this captures the essence. It's ranged lockdown, but only a 50/50 each time, so it's not obscene thematically as YK is saying. He still keeps people around if they disengage, but just from one space instead of a 2-space aura. Like Superheroes and Comics?

Re: The Book of Elongated Man (Breathing Period)
Maybe something like this?
RIDICULOUS REACH Whenever a figure within 2 spaces of Elongated Man moves or targets a figure other than Elongated Man, you may roll a combat die. If you roll a skull, that figure cannot move and must attack Elongated Man this turn, if possible. It essentially lets him make an LEA against anyone in his reach.

Added in the red parts since melee figures should still be able to move adj. to him without being stopped. Not sure if my word choice clears the official language hurdle, but that would be my only tweak however you want to word it. |

Re: The Book of Elongated Man (Breathing Period)
probably needs the "figure you do not control" wording since you'd want to move your own figures without them attacking.
Also not seeing the ability for this to happen unless there is text missing... Would I want it to be everything I love...sure...but that's just not realistic so I'm going to focus on finding things that will make me unhappy and work on fixing those. |

Re: The Book of Elongated Man (Breathing Period)
I’d say the lockdown is plenty. Leave the wounding to other heroes.
