Yea

For space trimming, do we really need the "once per round" restriction on his Whisper? The X requirement covers it outside of corner cases like Loki.

This proposal passes.

I'll hold off on the Initial until Karnak has made a little more progress, since their synergy will be pretty strong.

Still hoping to here from you guys if any of you get a chance.

You're right, it's not really needed. I left it on there mostly just for the symmetry with Voice of Destruction, but also because of the couple of odd cases (Loki giving out a second "X", Meggan mimicking A Whispered Word). We can remove it though if people prefer.

[johnny139]

I don't mind sticking with it for symmetry's sake - I'm good with the aesthetic logic, at least.

Sorry, y'all started like 5 designs at once, it was kind of hard for me to keep track of.

The new version of Voice of Destruction is a hell of a lot better than the old one both thematically and mechanically, as the old one was pretty much just 'on your first turn, kill all the squad figures in the game'. Are there any plans for Inhuman squad figures though? Cause if there are, y'all might want to put in a hero clause to the destroyed Inhuman bit. Otherwise it rounds back to 'on your first turn, kill your own squad figures; on your second turn, kill all the squad figures'.

[Yodaking]

I don't think anyone has plans for a squad of Inhumans or even an Inhuman common hero but better safe than sorry. Lets update it to only count Unique Inhuman Heroes. Great catch Soundwarp.

[Soundwarp SG-1]

It's what I'm here for. I don't know what commons could be done for them, unless Black Bolt has like place guards or something (though I don't know why he'd need them); but considering that Inhumans are now Marvel's replacement Mutants, probably still better to play it safe.

Also, I will never stop laughing at this guy's secret id.

[Tornado]

My first thought was 'What is a Medusalith Amaquelin-Boltagon figure?'.

Then I saw the secret ID.

[Yodaking]

Yeah there is another Medusa figure so we can't just use that. I wonder if we shouldn't instead reference her class and personality combo (Devoted Adventurer) instead of that mouthful of a name. I don't know if anyone else has the same personality and class as she has, plus if they are not an Inhuman they will always be an inferior choice since he only bonds with Inhumans, but it might be interesting to one day have a second option. You never know if Marvel will one day introduce a new character that he shares a unique bond with.

[johnny139]

In the future I would want a Queen Medusa figure so I think it's safest to just stick with her full name.

[Viegon]

I don't think we're likely to design any common/squad Inhumans, but a Unique Hero restriction makes sense. I'll update the SP.
