Re: Echo - Design Phase
I like Bat's Mimic there, Phantom Walk, and Stealth Leap. Very ninja-esque and still has that photo-reflex thing.

As long as people don't have a problem with her getting a move of 12 from Flash, and attack of 8 from Thor or a defense of 8 from Thor. I've never seen her in comics, so I haven't seen what she can do. She's listed as an Olympic Level athlete, and has nothing superhuman physically about her. Just to be sure, since most or many non-superhuman heroes/villains are listed as Olympic Level athletes, but do we think her photographic reflexes grant her superhuman strength? Because whatever is done with Echo can be done with Taskmaster and he's always been limited to what he can physically repeat with his Olympic Level athleticism.

Re: Echo - Design Phase
I don't like those high stats for her at all.... Again, I will say that the best thing I can think of or have heard for her was to just give her a few appropriate powers from other people's cards.
How much do we need to over think this one really? I mean its Echo. Give her a few physical powers that she uses often and model them directly off of cards that makes thematic sense. :day_called: |

Re: Echo - Design Phase
I think if she just has powers on the card then it isn't Echo, & I as a C3G customer would feel kind of cheated that we didn't do better to capture at least some resemblance of mimicry. I like Bats suggestion but I'm not sure about taking the range aspect.
What about Bats Mimic & a special attack that just allows her to use the normal attack she has mimicked, that way she would have the option to bypass some figure's defences. This will just give her the slight edge she would gain by mimicking somebody without overpowering her & without stacking unrelatable (not a real word) powers on her card.

Re: Echo - Design Phase
So would you be OK with her stealing Thor's attack of 8 and then making it even better as a Special Attack? I certainly am not.

Look - stats, powers, it's never going to be thematic because of the restrictions of Heroscape. At some point, she's going to be able to do something that she wouldn't be able to do in the comics, and we're going to have to live with it. I thought about limiting my version of Mimic to Human Unique Heroes, as that would exclude most of the powers people are concerned about, especially since we've designated figures as Mutate or Metahuman. However, that would also exclude some figures that she has iconically mimicked, like Daredevil. I still think the best compromise is going to be limiting it to Vigilantes, and maybe 1-2 other classes. |

Realistically here, I think it is imperative for you to come to grips with the fact that the juice your drinking and serving, isn't anyone's brand but your own. Your compromising a theme fail for a theme win. You want her to have the themey things you want, and your willing to ignore all the theme fails that come with that.... I just can't ever sign off on something like that - C3G has higher standards. Respectfully and honestly, Griff |

Re: Echo - Design Phase
I am not sure "MY" idea is the best we can do (I highly doubt it in fact).
This shouldn't be about what I can come up with, or what you or Bats can come up with, this project is about what "WE" can come up with as a group, and right now, "we" do not have an accord on any idea, and the OP seems to have the least support. |

Re: Echo - Design Phase
Everyone take a deep breath.
We'll figure something out I'm sure. I knew her and Taskmaster wouldn't be easy, because like Absorbing Man, it's kind of difficult to represent the theme and get it to work mechanically. It will have to be a compromise somewhere and like we've done before, we'll figure it out.

Re: Echo - Design Phase
Counter suggestion time!
MIMIC After moving and before attacking, you may choose one Unique Hero figure within 4 clear sight spaces of Echo to Mimic. Echo may use the chosen figure's Move Number, Range Number, Attack Number, or Defense Number in place of her own for the remainder of the round. The number Echo chooses may not have a value higher than 7. Echo may only Mimic one of these numbers at a time. How's that look with 7 as a limit? That could be toggled down to 6 if you guys think it's better, but I was trying to keep the power relatively useful without being overly powerful or too much of a theme stretch. This one is a delicate balance for sure. I like Spidey's idea of going with this and Stealth Leap (12 probably). If you have Stealth Leap, I don't think you need Phantom Walk. Also, I think she shouldn't have more than 2 powers on her card, ideally. C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

Re: Echo - Design Phase
Well the restriction of 7 certainly is better, I mean she already has a move of 6, so if the restriction was 6 then that wouldn't help her move any and a range of 6 is no big deal either. The attack and defense take some imagination, but we've been there before. I mean if she takes Superman's attack or defense of 7, she really isn't mimicking him at all because her body doesn't get as resilient as Supes and she doesn't get any added strength. He's not a martial artist, so it's not like she's learning his moves to get that nice attack.
We've suspended belief for the purpose of gameplay before, I mean DD gets a nasty attack when surrounded by a group of enemies and many others. Stealth Leap 12 is kind of high for her to leap with normal non-super strength legs. Could she have Catwoman's climb which would give her real nice mobility and be more on a human strength level than with a huge leap. Catwoman can climb up a castle wall without a battlement if she starts adjacent to it. Echo would be able to do more than that if she had a move of 7 she mimicked. That could give her some of DD's acrobatic mobility to a degree but not his Radar Sense, as she shouldn't be able to mimic a Sense of any kind IMO. Heck, it would make her more DD like acrobatically than DD is because she would be able to use it any time and not with a d20 defensive roll. If this were the way to go for Echo, I don't want it to be the template for Taskmaster's similar power. He carries ranged weapons and a shield all the time, so he wouldn't have to mimic someone to get added range and Cap like skills already with defending with and throwing shield. He has stored abilities, so he wouldn't only be able to use what he sees on an opponent's card on the battlefield.
