SUPER STRENGTH

I have run a few tests with this guy, it's weird that he gets disengage and immunity to autowounds with what equals out to basically an auto shield that only tiggers if it would block the attack. I also find it weird that someone this guy only receives 5 defense dice. Overall I am disappointed with the defensive power. This guy needs more staying power so I am considering the following changes:

I don't mind the rock in the mini picture, because it does fit the terrain, but can we remove it from the hitzone?

"And" should be an "or", otherwise, this power would currently work against all Asgardians except for Enchantress.

I'd love to remove the rock from the hitzone, but it looks worse when his leg just cuts off randomly.

Looks great.

ENCHANTED INVULNERABLITY
Anytime Destroyer Armor would receive only one wound, you may ignore that wound. Anytime Destroyer Armor would be automatically destroyed, he instead receives two wounds.

That bold word implies to me that this affect only occurs when a power that auto destroys... well... auto destroys. But maybe that word should be cut out, so that it apples with auto destroy powers and also when he would just be taking enough wounds to die. I think cutting that one word would accomplish that.

Well that's definitely the intent, but I didn't read close enough what Bats gave me to copy/paste. I'll make the cut in 48 hours.

Why so fast?

[Griffin]

The thing is menacing most of the time, I'll give you that, but when he does run, and look at that sculpt , he is powerfully fast.

Plus the guy is pretty large so larger strides = faster move.

[Margloth]

I just worry that he's going to be a fast run and gunner (with move, essentially range, and not taking LEAs) instead of a brutal tank (since he'll probably take wounds fairly quickly when they don't just nick him).
