I wish I'd saved it!
I'll dig around, maybe I can find it.

Mutant
Unique Hero
Telepath
Intuitive
Medium 5

LIFE 4
MOVE 6
RANGE 1
ATTACK 4
DEFENSE 4
120 POINTS

PSYCHIC KNIFE
Instead of attacking with Psylocke, she may use Psychic Knife. Choose a figure adjacent to her and roll the 20-sided die. Add 1 to the roll for each Telepath you control adjacent to Psylocke.
- If you roll 1-11, nothing happens
- If you roll 12-15, the chosen figure receives 1 wound
- If you roll 16-19, the chosen figure receives 2 wounds
- If you roll a 20 or higher, the chosen figure receives 3 wounds

TELEPATHIC LINK
If a Unique Hero you control is destroyed you may immediately move any unrevealed Order Markers from their Army Card to Psylocke's Army Card.
If Psylocke is destroyed you may immediately move any unrevealed Order Markers from her Army Card to the Army Card of any Unique Hero you control if possible.

Her first ability would make her a nice compliment to a Prof X, Jean Grey, and probably Emma Frost build. Be the enforcer to use her Psychic Knife if someone tries to take out Charles.

Her second ability would act as a OM salvage.

I wonder if the second part of her second power should only work with Telepaths?

[Hahma]

Looks like a pretty good start Good Pig.

Whitey has her drafted, though who knows when he'll get around to her. Perhaps he'd be willing to part with her if he doesn't plan to do her for a while but would like to see her done. That's if you wanted to do her with your first design pass.

Perhaps someone with a better knowledge of the character than myself would be able to answer that from a theme perspective. Mechanically it would make her a pretty niche draft, but I think that would be the case anyhow with the write-up as is. A low cost Mutant (was thinking 120-130?) that gets boosts from other Telepaths, would probably only be used in a mainly Telepath build army.

Thanks. I kind of posted it for discussion purposes and to gauge how much interest there is in the write-up. As far as my wish list of designs I want to see completed, she'd probably show up lower in my list than the top 5 I currently have.

[IAmBatman]

I think she'd be good in a Telepath army (which has and will continue to have growing flexibility) and in lots of Mutant builds (thanks to Prof X and Jean Grey being prominent inclusions in such builds). Also, more mutant filler level units are Professor X's friends.

[IAmBatman]

Oh, and Cyclops builds love her too.

[Good Pig]

If I have more than 5 write-ups that I've posted should I just keep adding them to the list?

[IAmBatman]

Sure - I think we can handle discussing them.

[tcglkn]

I think he is asking if he should keep all his write ups linked in one post even though it is more than 5. My opinion is sure since you have a solid write up posted in here and your not just saying I want to design 30 units and you have no ideas for them.

[IAmBatman]

Yeah, pretty much. No problem offering more possibilities when you apply for a thread opening.
