I'm not sure an auto skull for Diamond Form is the best approach, but if we go that way I'd be good with her normal attack going down as far as to 2.

The attack in the mind flayer telepath is already 3 and range 3 and it isn't really attractive. If there's going to be an autoskull in her diamond form i would like it to be in her normal attack only.

i'd agree if autoskull is what everyone wants we should go down as 2 and keep the telepathic attack as the main way to bruise.

Oh, for sure the auto skull would only be for the normal attack since she can't use her special attack while the Diamond Marker is on ... I think he meant that her normal attack shouldn't be higher than 3 if she can have an auto skull.

Ok then. Let see how the stats go first.

the concerns from Bats about the ability working even when ko'ed it's a must, we'll try to fix it when we get there.

And i'm changing the thread name to the book of Emma Frost since almost everyone prefers that.

Would you like something like this for the telepathic synergy?

PSIONIC INUNDATION BLAST SPECIAL ATTACK
Psionic Inundation Blast Special Attack
Range 4. Attack 4.
White Queen does not need clear line of sight to attack with Psionic Inundation Blast Special Attack. Add one attack die for each adjacent telepath. If a figure receives 1 or more wounds from Psionic Inundation Blast Special Attack, remove one unrevealed Order Marker at random from the figure's Army Card (or cards if your opponent have more than one Common card for that figure).

but maybe the other telepaths are already boosted by their abilities becoming available even without no line of sight.

I think that works, but make it a 2+special for the attack and maybe reduce the range by one?

ok, 2+ special, i'll rewrite it after tomorrow, but maybe i would like to keep the range of 4 since she will be difficult to position against flying when in her puny form.

I like that, but with a cap of 2, maybe 3. Sorry, 10 attack just doesn't cut it.

Does she actually have a ranged attack? if it's just her telepathic blast, that would suggest a standard 3 range.

I think they were talking about the Special Attack range Scapey.

Is this what you guys were talking about Bats? Seems like it would be kind of difficult to really make much of it. She's going to need to be adjacent to 2 Telepaths just to make it an attack of 4 and then with a range of 4, what opponent is going to just let a key figure stand around while the Telepaths come and gather? She won't be in Diamond Form to use this attack and makes herself and the adjacent Telepaths prime targets for area of effect attacks or multiple attacks with range with all the targets tightly packed.

PSIONIC INUNDATION BLAST SPECIAL ATTACK
Psionic Inundation Blast Special Attack
Range 4. Attack 2+ Special.

[Porkins]

How about if the extra telepaths just need to be within clear sight? Or clear sight within 4 or 5 or x spaces?

Just a reminder to the Heroes about who is on hold for me in the Sanctum.
