Re: The Book of Hourman (Rick Tyler) - Design Phase
NAME = HOURMAN
SECRET IDENTITY = RICK TYLER SPECIES = METAHUMAN UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO CLASS = PROTÉGÉ PERSONALITY = DEVOTED SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5 LIFE = 5 MOVE = 5 RANGE = 1 ATTACK = 3 DEFENSE = 4 POINTS = 190 MIRACLO INJECTION Once per game, at the start of a round before Order Markers are placed, you may place 3 yellow Miraclo Markers on this card. Before rolling for initiative each round, if there is at least one Miraclo Marker on this card, you must either reveal an "X" Order Marker on this card or remove a Miraclo Marker. If you remove a Miraclo Marker, for the duration of this round, Hourman gains the Super Strength special power and adds 2 to his Move, Attack, and Defense numbers. TACHYON-ENHANCED HOURGLASS 11 Immediately after rolling for initiative, if there is at least one unrevealed Order Marker on this card, you may roll the 20-sided die. If you roll 11 or higher, you may choose an opponent and view all unrevealed Order Markers on cards the chosen opponent controls. BONDS OF MARRIAGE After revealing an Order Marker on this card and taking a turn with Hourman, you may immediately take a turn with a Jesse Chambers figure you control that has this special power, and you may not take any additional turns with other figures you control. During this turn, that Jesse Chambers figure can attack only while adjacent to Hourman. ORIGINAL DESIGN:

Re: The Book of Hourman (Rick Tyler) - Design Phase
Alright, so this is the same write-up I posted in the JSA faction thread, with a couple small changes: his class was switched from Prodigy to Protege, as Protege seemed to have a little more support and it's my preference (we'll need to make a final decision on this though); I changed Limited Precognition to Tachyon-Enhanced Hourglass, and then opened it up so you see all the OMs from a single opponent (as opposed to Limited Precognition just looking at one card); and Miraclo Pill was switched to Miraclo Injection, which is a little more accurate for the period of his character I'm trying to capture, and leaves the power name "Miraclo Pill" open to be used for Rex (I also slightly changed the activation points for Miraclo and Hourglass to clarify how they interact).
Some other thoughts: 1) I'm not sold on the power name "Married Duo" (previously “Husband and Wife”), anyone have any better suggestions? 2) As I mentioned, we'll need to make a final decision on a class to use for the younger JSAers. My preference is Protege, but some of the other ones discussed were Prodigy, Rookie, and Amateur. Crime Fighter had also been discussed, but I'm personally strongly opposed to that direction. 3) Is Tachyon-Enhanced Hourglass too strong? I timed it so it wouldn’t work with Ozy, but it could still be pretty strong with Mad Thinker. OTHER COMIC ART:

Re: The Book of Hourman (Rick Tyler) - Design Phase
Yeah, the "Married Duo" is the only thing I'm not liking here as well. Is: "'Til Death Do Us Part" too long? Even "Love and Marriage" might be better. Marriage Vows? Marriage Bonds?
C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

Re: The Book of Hourman (Rick Tyler) - Design Phase
I'd go with "Marriage Vows" - lots of stuff in there, loving and cherishing, sickness and health, and the sort of general sort of "obligation to help the other person out" implication that fits the mechanic.

to Marriage Vows.
I'm a little bit worried about Hourglass+Joker or Mad Thinker, but relying on the D20 should help mitigate things. Otherwise, I like the design.

Eh, Marriage Vows seems kinda bland to me, but it's not horrid.

Hour is Near
Joker + Hourman + Robot (although honestly Robot + Mad Thinker is some nice synergy too) could be annoying but I doubt it'll be super problematic. I could see someone with the Reality Gem being more annoying.

Re: The Book of Hourman (Rick Tyler) - Design Phase
I'd go with Bonds of Marriage or Matrimony. Also, isn't a round like a few minutes long real life wise? I'd make Miraclo a marker power that removes one each round as a countdown to his de-powering. I'd also lower his stats and boost its effect. (Also, a regular six-sided die could be used in place of Markers.)
