_________________________________________________________________
Character Bio - Seeking revenge after his father was killed by drug dealers, Rory Regan stumbled upon a box of rags in his father's pawn shop. The rags covered his body, turning him into the Ragman. Each 'rag' is actually the soul of an evildoer defeated by the Ragman and bestows the wearer of the suit with the strength and power of each soul. When a soul has payed its time, it leaves the suit and enters the afterlife, allowing each soul the chance at redemption. Rory uses the power of the suit to avenge his father's death and then to fight crime in the slums of Gotham City.

A maximum of 5 figures may be on this card at any time. After attacking with Ragman, you may remove a destroyed figure from this card to attack 1 additional time.

YOUR DEBT IS PAID
If Ragman is attacked by an opponent's figure that does not have the Magical Defense special power and there is at least one figure on this card, the most wounds Ragman can take for this attack is one. If the attacking figure has the Magical Defense special power and at least 1 skull is rolled, instead of rolling defense dice, you may remove one figure from this card and ignore the attack.

I'm digging this write up, he will dominate a lot of squaddies and low life/defense hero's.

[quozl]

I think we may need to limit the figures on the card to 3. Otherwise, he could be crazy powerful with Your Debt Is Paid.

[Spidey'tilIDie]

Good looking design! I like it. The two defense powers seem a bit redundant, but I think it works.

I'd prefer if we didn't give it a cap, but it's a definite concern. I'd wait and see how he plays in the Initial before changing it. Something to keep in mind, certainly.

Maybe drop his Defense a bit? And is Vigilante the best class for him? Otherwise I'm good.

[Lord Pyre]

Cool design! I don't know the character. Defense 3 plus his two defensive powers might not be a bad idea, yeah. The initial will probably tell better!

[Spidey'tilIDie]

Yeah, I think dropping his defense is a good idea. It opens him up to at least possibly taking wounds more often.

[IAmBatman]

I'm cool with Defense of 3.

I like Vigilante as his class (he's definitely worked with Robin before, and operated in Gotham a bunch).

I think we might want to consider giving him Rag markers instead of putting figures themselves on his card, and just having a max of three Rag markers, both for power balance, and so we don't have to worry about overlap with figures like Ghost Rider.

Eww, markers.

Honestly I think it works perfectly with Ghost Rider as-is both mechanically and thematically. I feel it's an area to tread lightly but using destroyed figures as "souls" is too perfect to delegate to markers.

[IAmBatman]

Fair enough. I can go with them struggling over the souls in a D20 square off.
