Arkham's Design Brainstorming

[Ronin]

I guess Stan Lee doomed us to these jokes when he came up with the name.

Spoiler Alert!

[Arkham]

The Glob strikes again!

Don't be in too much of a hurry to work something out - don't want to put it out there prematurely.

Oh! Well now look at who is joining the party

[Lazy Orang]

I'm... not watching that. It scares me.

~ Lazy Orang, who's happy to joke, but believes in this thing called 'too far'.....

Was that video clip too far? I can certainly delete it, not a problem.

Edited: I ended up deleting it, just in case. Wasn't too bad, but didn't want to chance it.

No idea - too much of a wimp to watch. I don't trust you after the whole phone touching debacle.....

I deleted it anyway, just in case.

I'll check out of this thread.

Would you look at the time!

Since you guys are so interested in it, let's talk about Arkham's Man-Thing

EMOTIONAL SENSES
After Man-Thing attacks, if the defending figure does not have the Fearless personality, roll the 20-sided die, adding 12 to the roll if the defending figure has the Angry, Furious, Terrifying, Greedy, or Evil personality. If you roll 12 or higher, you may attack the defending figure one additional time. After attacking an additional time, roll one unblockable attack die against the defending figure, or two if the defending figure does not have the Super Strength special power.

VEGETATIVE MUCK
When rolling defense dice for Man-Thing, each blank rolled count as two automatic shields.

PLANT REGENERATION
At the end of each round, if Man-Thing occupies a Grass, Swamp, or Swamp Water space, you may remove 1 wound from this card; or if Man-Thing is adjacent to a tree or bush, you may remove 2 wounds from this card.

SUPERSTRENGTH

My only opinion is that, since I don't really know Man-Thing, I don't really know if he;s this powerful.

[Lazy Orang]

My opinion is that, having gone this long with no one having an 'Evil' personality, that will never, and should never, happen. Look at Sadistic and Malevolent. My family once did a card where a power gave a penalty to evil personalities, and we ran with Malevolent, Sadistic, Vindictive and Treacherous - not sure what you're going for here, but thought I'd throw that out there.

[Ronin]

I think I'd cut the multi-attack from Emotional Senses and make it more of a straight auto-wounding thing (maybe +1 attack against the affected figures, rather than a whole second attack). I also see him as more of a 4 Move guy.

I think Angry/Furious/Terrifying is a pretty good thematic set of personalities. (For the unfamiliar, Man-Thing reacts to violent/strong emotions)
