The Book of the Batmobile

[IAmBatman]

OK, it was brought to my attention that the Remote has Mirror issues if figures in different armies are equipped with the Remote. Here are some attempts to take care of that:

AUTOMATED DEFENSES 15
When any figure that was not within 3 clear sight spaces of the Batmobile prior to moving ends its move within 3 clear sight spaces of the Batmobile, any Player that controls the Batmobile or a figure equipped with the Batmobile Remote may roll the 20-sided die, adding 6 to the roll if Bruce Wayne is the Batmobile’s Driver. If you roll 15 or higher, the figure receives 1 wound.

UTILITY: BATMOBILE REMOTE

EQUIPMENT GLYPH
Instead of moving this figure, you may move the Batmobile up to 3 spaces. After moving the Batmobile this way, you may choose one figure adjacent to the Batmobile and roll the 20-sided die, adding 6 to the roll your figure equipped with this Glyph is Bruce Wayne. If you roll 15 or higher, the chosen figure receives one wound.

What do y'all think? Does that take care of any mirror issues?

I guess my confusion is this;

Say I'm playing a 3 player game. Both me and player 2 have Batmobile remotes, and player 3's figure wanders into the Automated Defenses zone...how do we decide who gets to roll for Automated Defenses? It won't matter in 99% of scenarios, but still seems like a good thing to have an answer for.

That question has been answered by classic. It's the same as an initiative tie, you do a D-20 roll off.

Isn’t that for 2 different powers occurring at the same time though? This is 2 players trying to use the same power at the same time. Has there ever been something like that?

Deadpool Vs Deadpool. That's all basically the same thing and I would rule it as such.

[Yodaking]

Agreed.

[MrNobody]

I’d argue it’s a pretty clearly separate kind of deal, but I can accept that ruling.

I actually thought of this when doing the rewording and my intent was that it would stack - you'd just have to do a D20 roll off for the timing. Nothing in it activating prevents it from activating again that I know of. And it's a rare enough situation and low enough in power that I don't really mind it stacking.

That's my take at least.

SP updated with the wording I posted above. If anyone sees any enduring mirror issues, please let me know!

[Ronin]

Just catching back up here ahead of testing and getting the Spider-Mobile rolling. What about wording Automated Defenses more like:

While you control the Batmobile or a figure equipped with the Glyph of Utility: Batmobile Remote, if a figure that was not within 3 clear sight spaces of the Batmobile prior to moving ends its move within 3 clear sight spaces of the Batmobile, you may roll the 20-sided die. Add 6 to your roll if Bruce Wayne is the Batmobile's driver. If you roll 15 or higher, the figure receives 1 wound.

I think Batman & Robin references are pretty cool (), but have any of the art guys signed off on doing a secret identity here? There isn't really a spot for it on the template.

[IAmBatman]

Well the draftable template is going to have to be altered a bit in general. Unless you're talking about the one A3n already mocked up?

I wonder if it should be "model" instead of "secret identity"? Or if it should just be an extension of the main Batman name.

Solid wording update. Editing it into the SP now. Thanks.
