The Book of Crimson Dynamo

[A3n]

It appears we are going with the kid, I kind of feel he should only have a defense of 5. Simply because he wouldn't have the experience to use the armour as defensively as Iron Man & I feel that the armour itself without the experience should only offer the same as a master of combat like say Bats.

The more I think about it, the more I like Student.

Slacker? Student would be OK too.

From David:

Crimson Dynamo

Uh, oh. It's a Hahma LD. I'd better scan this carefully to make certain you don't plant any sneaky subliminal references to that great looking Sergeants Miniatures Game.

Phew, the coast is clear! Let's check out Crimson Dynamo. This is actually my proxy for Hulkbuster.

Electrical Blast Special Attack
Do those farm buildings have to remain assembled, or can you take them apart between games without putting a lot of stress on the pieces?

Oh crap.

Electrical Blast Special Attack
Similar to Storm's Lightning Tempest, though her special attack can affect destructible objects.

Armor Piercing Rocket Launcher Special Attack
Vetted by War Machine, who is currently positioned in one of those Hasty Positions. Aaaaargh!!!

Final Thoughts
Nice arsenal!

Oh, and those buildings look really cool (I did see the pictures you posted in the Hangout -- I think.) I'm also curious about the equipment and tactics module mentioned on the website.

From 1Mmirg:

Cool, love this idea. Thanks, Hahma, for doing it. I'll offer a few thoughts, but mostly I think you're on track here for a great addition to the C3G:

I like your work here. I'm assuming this works thematically with all current/future Dynamos. Thanks for sharing your ideas. Look forward to seeing this guy come out! All best, V

Students, Teachers, Lecturers, Slackers all the same .

Thinking about changing this so that DO's are affected. I don't know why Tickle left them unaffected, but considering other electrical powers work vs. DO's, I don't see why they shouldn't in this case. I also rearranged the line about Electrically Charged figures not being affected to follow suit with Electro's

ELECTRICAL BLAST SPECIAL ATTACK
Range 4. Attack 4 and 3.
Choose a figure to attack. You may also choose one other figure within 2 clear sight spaces of the targeted figure to be affected by this special attack. Roll 4 attack dice once for all figures. Each figure rolls defense dice separately. Electrical Blast Special Attack does not affect destructible objects or figures with the Electrically Charged special power Figures with the Electrically Charged special power are not affected by Electrical Blast Special Attack. After attacking with this special attack, Crimson Dynamo must attack 1 additional time, rolling 1 fewer attack die for the subsequent attack.

Should it say "must attack with this special attack 1 additional time" or something like that?

Rockets don't require saying that you attack with Rockets again.

ARMOR PIERCING ROCKET LAUNCHER
SPECIAL ATTACK
Range 6. Attack 2.
Only non-adjacent figures can be attacked with this special attack. For each skull rolled, the defending figure subtracts 1 die from its defense. After attacking with this special attack, Crimson Dynamo may attack two additional times.

[IAmBatman]

Fair enough.

[Hahma]

ICE DARTS SPECIAL ATTACK
Range 3. Attack 1.
When Icicle attacks with this special attack, he may attack 1 additional time. Each skull rolled counts for one additional hit against figures with the Ice Resistance special power or for two additional hits against other figures.

Same thing for Ice Darts.

Though looking back at Huntress, her Crossbow specifies attacking with that special attack again. Though I don't know if we had changed it at some point to save text so that we didn't need to say that anymore.

[Hahma]

Ran a few HH tests just a little bit ago. So far he's worked his way down to the 150-160 range.

Lost twice to Tigra @ 170 (her leap gets her to the rooftop with him)

Lost twice to Huntress @ 170 (2 attacks of 5 is nasty, even when he has height).

Split with Shocker @ 160

Split with Plastic Man @145

Won twice vs. Electro @ 135 ( couldn't use Electric Blasts since Electro is immune, but Rockets took Electro apart).

Being able to affect multiple figures with Electric Blasts should help vs. Squaddies and in army tests though.

Edit: Killed 3 of 6 AIM before dying (their range is nice and get auto-skull vs. his special attacks). He then killed all 6 Ninja and survived with 3 wounds. (He was able to use Rockets, Electric and normal attack in this one).

[SirGalahad]

The attack phase specifies that a figure can attack with either a normal or a special attack. As soon as the figure attacks with its special attack, it forgoes the opportunity to attack with its normal attack, unless otherwise specified in the text of the special attack.

[Hahma]

Thanks for the clarification Sir G.
