However, his stats, IMO, are the hardest part to nail down. If you said "let's make his Life 4, Attack 3, and Defense 4", I wouldn't argue it.

I'd leave his Defense at 5, but drop his Life to 3. That would put him on the level of Krypto. Attack could be 3 or 4.

Depends on what you consider essential. For me, we have plenty of telepaths, and we'll see even more down the road. More telepathic powers feel a little generic. On the other hand, we will only have one "head of security on Knowhere" and I'd rather play up that side of the character. If I can dig up my old ideas, I'll post them here.

I can also tell you I'm pretty much dead-set against adding another passive turn prevention power. I'm not wanting to try and balance that (if it's even possible) with Diablo, Spider-Girl, and the Star Sapphires. I'm also not a fan of passive temporary control, especially on such an easy activation. The other powers are cool though, and not as easy to break competitively speaking.

Besides Judge Anderson, what (or at least, how many)Telepaths are looming in the future TB?

[Karat]

Hard to say. I know I have at least 2-3 I'm planning on currently.

[Tornado]

Thanks Karat. I think I am going to have to let Judge Hershey simmer until more the Telepathic folks are complete.
That could turn out to be a nice faction. Judge Anderson approves.

Any Marvel or DC telepaths? There aren't any On-Deck, I don't think, but there are plenty more that could come eventually. I have at least 2-3 planned, and those are all Mutants.

[Tornado]

Right on. I am just trying to get a feel for what is coming down the pipe. It will influence Judge Hershey when she comes around.

I would kill to see Quentin Quire!

I doubt you'd have to go to that far. I can tell you that he's drafted, at least.

[laughing matter]

Awesome!

Edit: I had a few ideas if you want to hear them.

[Karat]

We always love to hear ideas.

[laughing matter]

NAME = Kid Omega
Secret Identity = Quentin Quire


SPECIES = Mutant
UNIQUENESS = Unique Hero
CLASS = Telepath
PERSONALITY = Rebellious

SIZE/HEIGHT = Medium 5

LIFE = 5

MOVE = 5
RANGE = 5
ATTACK = 4
DEFENSE = 4

POINTS = ???


PSYCHIC PERSUASION
After revealing an Order Marker if Kid Omega is not engaged, instead of attacking, you may choose up to three Unique Heroes. Chosen figures must be within 10 spaces of Kid Omega.

• If you control the chosen Hero, you may take an immediate turn with the chosen Hero.
• If you do not control the chosen Hero, roll the 20-sided die, subtracting five from the roll if the figure is a Telepath.

After the 20-sided die is rolled for all chosen figures, for each figure that you rolled 9 or higher for, you may take temporary control of that figure and immediately take a turn with it. At the end of each turn, control of the chosen figure returns to the player who controlled the figure before the Psychic Persuasion. Figures that have the Mental Shield special power are not affected by Psychic Persuasion.

PSIONIC ASSAULT
When Kid Omega attacks add one automatic skull to whatever is rolled. If Kid Omega attacks an opponent's figure with his normal attack and rolls at least 2 skulls, he may attack an opponent's figures again with his normal attack, Kid Omega may continue attacking opponent's figures with his normal attack until he rolls fewer than 2 skulls. Kid Omega cannot attack more than four times in a single turn. Kid Omega's Attack number cannot be reduced by any special power.

PSYCHIC DEFENSE X
Once per round, if Kid Omega or any friendly figure within 3 spaces of Kid Omega is attacked by a figure that does not have the Mental Shield special power, and at least 1 skull is rolled, you may reveal the "X" Order Marker on this card. After revealing the "X" Order Marker, the opposing player's turn immediately ends and the attacked figure receives no wounds.

@Aggressive Sock , here's what I had in mind for Cosmo:

CONTINUUM CORTEX TELEPORTATION
If Cosmo is in your Start Zone, after revealing an Order Marker on the card of Cosmo or a figure adjacent to him, instead of taking a turn with that figure, you may roll 12 combat dice. Place the chosen figure on any empty space within X spaces of Cosmo's current location, where X equals the number of skulls rolled.

HEAD OF SECURITY
When a figure within 4 clear sight spaces of Cosmo that was not within 3 spaces of your Start Zone prior to moving attempts to move onto a space within 3 spaces of your Start Zone, you may immediately roll the 20-sided die. If you roll 11 or higher, the chosen figure may not be moved and must end its movement.

This would give him a totally different role than any other figure out there, and would be an interesting add for a number of different builds. It would also play pretty well with Star-Lord, I think.

My plan was to add in a telepathic power as well. I was going to give him Xavier's Telepathic Blast SA, but either of your Telekinetic Blast or Psionic Shield would fit.
