_________________________________________________________________

Character Bio - Preston Payne was a scientist working on a cure for a rare illness he had. After meeting Matt Hagen, the second Clayface, he acquired a tissue sample, and worked out a cure. Unfortunately it had some side effects, making his touch toxic to any person. Meeting his girlfriend after his cure, he accidentally turned her into nothing more than a puddle. Growing increasingly mad after this incident, he still managed to create a containment suit that temporarily held his body together, and kept himself from killing people accidentally. He still had a "hunger," however, and killed people to satiate that hunger.

Even though he lost his mind after the death of his girlfriend, he did manage to find love once again. His new girlfriend, Helena, managed to be everything he ever asked for in a woman-that is, she didn't melt to his touch. He just didn't really realize she was nothing more than a mannequin at a department store.

I'm not sure how I feel about the reuse of Death Factor, since that's a term for a specific condition that Omega Red has.

Looks fine otherwise.

Ah, didn't realize that. I was coming up with a power that I realized was pretty much identical, so I used it. I'll try to tweak and rename it.

[IAmBatman]

I could see the wound even being automatic at the end of the round. I agree with a renamining feeling appropriate.

I could also see, especially if we make that change I just suggested, lowering the roll for Toxic Touch quite a bit. I think you also might up his normal attack to 4. If I recall correctly, that suit enhances his strength.

That could work! Does he have Super Strength? My knowledge of him is pretty limited, and I don't recall him really having it.

[IAmBatman]

I don't recall either. I feel like he's tough, but maybe not to that level. Lady Clayface would, though (man we need a mini for her!!).

LIFE = 4

MOVE = 5
RANGE = 1
ATTACK = 4
DEFENSE = 4

POINTS = 70?

TOXIC TOUCH
After moving and instead of attacking, you may roll the 20-sided die. On a roll of 8-18, add 1 wound to an adjacent opponent's figure. On a roll of 19 or higher, add 2 wounds to an adjacent opponent's figure. If Clayface deals at least 1 wound with Toxic Touch, you may remove one wound marker from this card.

UNSTABLE BODY
At the end of each round, place one wound marker on this card.

So something like this? I'm just worried that if it's auto wound every round, he'd be really weak. Plus I think it's more of a hunger than him actually dying. I'll think about it a little more.

I think I'd like this better:

UNSTABLE BODY
At the end of each round that Clayface has taken one or more turns, place one wound marker on this card.

I think upping the Life would be in order too.

[johnny139]

Maybe make it an auto-wound after he's taken at least one wound? So he won't be dead before he even gets to the battlefield.

Doesn't he have a containment suit of some kind keeping him together? That would make sense in that case (a breach of some kind).

[Lord Pyre]

Like so? I have no idea where his power level is going to end up at this point. Will be fun to find out
