The Book of Frankenstein

[Lord Pyre]

The Mary Shelley fan in me would reallllly rather not just call him Frankenstein, but I won't fuss too much if the character isn't called anything else.

Yeah, if it's a theme break to have the same name, similar but different is good.

I'd like to see this.

I wouldn't mind requiring him to wound a figure to get the bonding to work, ala Red Skull's bonding power.

I think the name should be more specific to Creatures, and less of a generic leadership name. Maybe something like "Creature Feature" or "Creature Command" or "Creature Commandos".

Could we go with just Frankenstein's Monster? It'd be more accurate on the literary end of things anyway. (Though I do like how Spawn of Frankenstein sounds. Just "Frankenstein" though, I agree with LP, seems wrong).

I was trying to keep the bonding power generically named as I was going to use it on Catman too (except for Outlaws instead of Creatures). Interestingly, they have a very similar leadership style.

I'm a big Mary Shelley fan too but this character definitely goes by just Frankenstein now. Frankenstein's Monster should be the secret identity.

Also, does anyone have the figure? We're going to need pictures.

[Hahma]

Maybe post an inquiry in the Photo Depository thread to ask for pix. Some people may have the figure or may order it and get pictures when they get the figure.

Well if you're going to swap classes, you should be renaming the power, IMO.

Edit: I missed the name comment by quozl. If he goes by Frankenstein, he goes by Frankenstein. I can go with it.

But both characters are using the same sword (or swords from the same angel), though. Frankly I think it's probably a naming error for Zauriel's power if anything.

No problem just calling him straight up "Frankenstein" even without a Secret Identity. It's not novel-accurate but neither is an angel's sword, a team of movie monsters, and a steampunk gun.

Forgetting the mini, does Franky in the comics' sword flame at all?

[Lord Pyre]

I have the mini. I can try to get pics if no one else has it.

Not on its own.

Hmm. Any thoughts on the sword power here, Spidey? As someone who knows the character?

[quozl]

I updated the SP.

SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5 or 6 Definitely 6. I have this figure.

LIFE = 8 I like the idea of 7, as it is a Biblical number and he is definitely on the side of angels. 8 seems a bit much.

MOVE = 5
RANGE = 4
ATTACK = 4
DEFENSE = 3

POINTS = 300?

SWORD OF THE ARCHANGEL MICHAEL
When attacking adjacent figures with Frankenstein's normal attack, roll 2 additional dice against Demons and 1 additional die against all other figures. When Frankenstein uses this power all blanks rolled count as unblockable hits.

UNDEAD RESILIENCE
If Frankenstein receives two or more wounds from a single attack, but is not destroyed, you may immediately remove up to two of those wounds.

CREATURE COMMANDOS
After revealing an Order Marker on this card and taking a turn with Frankenstein, if Frankenstein is engaged, you may take a turn with any other Creature Hero you control within 8 clear sight spaces.

Original write-up:

Spoiler Alert!

NAME = SPAWN OF FRANKENSTEIN

SECRET IDENTITY = N/A

SPECIES = UNDEAD
UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO
CLASS = CREATURE
PERSONALITY = FEARLESS

SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5 or 6

LIFE = 8

MOVE = 5
RANGE = 4

DEFENSE = 3

POINTS = 200

SWORD OF THE ARCHANGEL MICHAEL
When attacking an adjacent figure with Spawn of Frankenstein's normal attack, all blanks rolled count as unblockable hits on the defending figure. Roll 2 additional attack dice against adjacent Demons and 1 additional attack die against all other adjacent figures.

IMMUNE TO PAIN
Anytime Spawn of Frankenstein would receive only one wound from a special power that is not an attack, ignore that wound.

LEAD BY EXAMPLE
After taking a turn with Spawn of Frankenstein, if Spawn of Frankenstein is engaged, you may take a turn with any other Creature Hero you control.
