I've seen designs go as badly as 0-4 in the Initial and yet turn out balanced in public testing; 3 or 4 games is a pretty small sample to go on.

I'd say the D20 tweak is going to have more impact (especially if you drop it by 2). A 10 point difference is pretty minuscule, especially considering most players will give you at least that much leeway in army building. My .

I know in my limited sample changing the roll to 12 would have had no impact as I never had a roll of 12 or 13 in any of my games. I'll stay the course for a few more and see where it heads. I just need to remember that as long as I'm close public/danger room play testing will narrow us in on the final 10-20 points. Besides I may have just not learned how to optimize their performance yet like some of the other testers will be able to do.

Thanks for the feedback V

She was 1-4 in Army test with a 1 life win and a bunch of big losses. I dropped her from 160 to 150 for the last few test and adjusted Jinx Field to 12+ and even though she still lost they seemed like she had a chance. She went 3-7 in other test but I don't expect her to get full value if she's not protecting her teammates.

Black Cat has a similar re-roll power at 13+ and Scarlet Witch at 5+

I was aiming at 16-180 but I'd be fine at 150. If Public Testing shows her to be lower than 150 I'd like to lower her Jinx Field roll until we hit the 150-180 range.

Sorry it took so long but I'd like to see what better players can do with her now so I'd like to Propose a Vote for Danger Room Testing @ 150.

We sending her out at 150 or 160?

[TrollBrute]

Yea for testing. I'd make sure to get some tests with fuller armies too. Because the faction isn't complete, I'd add some existing support units to help them. Martian Manhunter to move them out, Angel to keep them together, Cap for stat boosts, that kind of thing.

Are we sending her to the Danger Room or Public testing? I know the Mutants are up next for the DR.

The rest of the faction has been contained to the DR and considering we have to release all of them for testing I'd assumed we'd continue with that plan. With so few public testers wouldn't be much of a release if everyone had seen the whole set prior to release. I'm good either way though.

[johnny139]

I'm fine tagging Jinx onto the Mutants.

Yea

[Zettian Juggernaut]

Yea

[Viegon]

Yea

Actually, we can't really send her out normally because Feet on the Ground mentions Spells. Best to just lump her in with the Mutants I guess.

Makes sense. DR works.
