Glyph Bio - With it's towering skyscrapers, the modern city isn't always friendly to a vigilante on the prowl. That's why mobility-conscious crime fighters pack a Bat-Grapple, letting them scale buildings with the press of a button.

Card Updates:
21 November 2020 - Bat-Grapple wording update

[IAmBatman]

NAME = UTILITY: BAT-GRAPPLE
SUBTITLE = Swinging Movement

TYPE OF GLYPH = EQUIPMENT
Instead of its normal move, if this figure is tiny, small, or medium, it may move up to 3 spaces with Bat-Grapple. When moving with Bat-Grapple, this figure has the Flying special power, but may not move up or down more than 30 levels in a single grapple, and will not take any leaving engagement attacks.

NAME =

TYPE OF GLYPH =
POWER TEXT =

Thanks. It's been a while since I've done a glyph. I'll update that in a bit here.

Looks good.

Looks good. Probably best to test out with figures that need mobility the most. Basically any HH with 5 move and no extra mobility option like Leap or Flying.

This is just a small sample, but you get the idea.

- Wolverine
- Thing
- Punisher
- Colossus
- Green Arrow
- Kingpin
- Grundy

Yep, good calls. I think in the two army tests I'll probably do one where each starting zone starts with one and one where it starts in the middle of the map.

looks good, should fly through design.

Yeah, and the fact that it likely will, I think Bats should be able to get several of these glyphs knocked out real quick without needing my help. Of course I will if he still thinks he needs me too, but I think these are gonna go by very fast.

I'd be fine with him running and testing a few at once. I have nothing else to add here.

Yeah, I don't think they're going to be that rough. I was mostly interested in your input on the design end of things because I'm iffy on how to translate Bat-a-rangs adequately into a glyph that could be used by anyone ...

I wouldn't mind doing that if you guys are all good with it ... but the others are likely to be more innovative or design involved than this one. Either way, I wanted to do this one as a test run since I figured it'd be the easiest and then start going for the more complicated ones after Floronic Man is done.
