The Book of Graviton

Thanks Sir G. Another pain in the rear design for initial testing, as I thought that an extra thorough job was needed because of his power level and so many different facets of his powers. He can get on a roll with throwing with Reverse Gravity but not wound. He can get on a roll of throwing with Reverse Gravity and wounding. He can get on a roll with Gravitational Grasp stopping opponents. He can maintain shield throughout round if he has OM's stacked and opponent wins initiative. He can attack with a nice ranged attack. Conversely, he can miss Reverse Gravity rolls and wounds and he can miss Gravitational Grasp at bad times. Gravitational Grasp can not only stop opponents from engaging him or teammate, but can also stop him or teammate from being moved, or an opponent from being moved away from them by a special power in their card or a teammates card. If an opponent's figure is within GG range and has a ranged normal attack, they have to decide whether or not to try to move to engage Graviton, get same level or higher ground or just to just stay put and attack Grav with height, because if they fail to move due to his GG roll, they can't attack with a normal attack and forfeit that turn basically. So an opponent's figure with a ranged special attack wouldn't lose anything by attempting to move to a better position.

I actually have the second army test done an partially typed up on Word, but just haven't finished it yet.

Thanks Bats. See above for some of the interesting things going on with him. A lot of things to offer different strategies and variety of use. The d20 roll of 9+ for RG and GG seem right. It's better than Jean Grey for sure, be even if she misses throw, she can still attack whereas he can't. His RG roll isn't as good as Magneto's and while they both have to sacrifice an attack, Graviton doesn't have to lower his shield to throw. Magneto's is more of a timing thing but has greater success at throwing but same wounding chance, while Grav has the better defense to make up for the failed roll. I like the 9 roll also because it's temping enough to be cocky/arrogant (like Graviton) with and try it more, but then his overconfidence can cost him with bad d20 rolls.

Just updated test sheet with army test 2.

I propose Graviton be moved to ERB phase.

[IAmBatman]

yea.

[NecroBlade]

Man, what a crazy finish for Flash in that army test.

Graviton looks pretty good around 380 or so. Yea.

[A3n]

Yea

[SirGalahad]

yea

[whitestuff]

Yea

[Hahma]

Just need GreyOwl and Spidey. Griff abstains 'til Monday. Is Spidey MIA too again?

[IAmBatman]

You never can tell with Spidey ... at least this expires before Midnight tonight.

[GreyOwl]

yea

[Hahma]

The proposal passes due to time and Graviton moves on to ERB phase.

[IAmBatman]

Sweet. Can't wait to see what they have to say.
