Character Bio – “Emily Briggs was a mousy bank teller who lived a quiet life with her husband in Gotham City. That all changed when she was kidnapped by people from the underground civilization known as Abyssia. The Outsiders set out to rescue Emily. After a battle with the people of Abyssia, Emily's heritage was revealed to her, and as Halley's Comet passed by the Earth, she gained her super powers.

“After leaving Abyssia to its people, Emily returned with the Outsiders and an astonished husband. She soon took on the name "Lia" as well as a more confident, yet self-centered, personality.

“Looker possesses the full spectrum of psionic abilities: telepathy, telekinesis, psychometry, enhanced metabolism, mind-control, psionic energy blasts, levitation, the creation of force shields, remote vision, and enhanced healing” (Wikipedia, 2019).

Umm, it looks like the design is missing a way to actually put the Mesmerization Markers on people’s cards at the moment. I’m assuming your supposed to be able to place them on the people you choose at the start of the round?

I added some language, despite it being in the Breathing Period, since that was clearly the intent here.

Thanks for picking up on that!

Same.

Felt like the card was cleaner without the vampire power, but if it's thematically necessary, it's necessary.

Interesting synergy web here, with Interloper stuff, Undead stuff, Telepath stuff, and hypnotism.

Agreed. The whole way through.

Why did you go for Life Drain instead of Bloodthirsty?

I actually preferred Bloodthirsty, but those who were pro-Vampire seemed to prefer a healing power.

[quozl]

I vote for Bloodthirsty.
