Its model number and name are #001 / Superman. Tutorial on how to paint this figure Character Bio - Christopher Kent (née Lor-Zod) is the son of General Zod and Ursa. Appearing on Earth as a child, he was adopted by Clark Kent and Lois Lane. He experienced rapid growth that was eventually able to be halted, and at one point reversed. He has a strong connection with Thara Ak-Var, who he partners with under Flamebird and Nightwing monikers. Due to his birth in the Phantom Zone, he has developed some abilities unlike that of most Kryptonians. Eventually this is revealed as being due to his status as an Avatar of the Kryptonian Entity Nightwing. _________________________________________________________________ -Rulings and Clarifications-

Re: The Book of Nightwing (Chris Kent) (Breathing)
NAME = NIGHTWING
SECRET IDENTITY = CHRIS KENT SPECIES = KRYPTONIAN UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO CLASS = CHAMPION PERSONALITY = RESOLUTE SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5 LIFE = 6 MOVE = 7 RANGE = 1 ATTACK = 5 DEFENSE = 5 POINTS = 250 NIGHTWING'S AVATAR After revealing an Order Marker on this card and instead of either moving or attacking with Nightwing, you may either move or attack with a figure with the Flamebird's Avatar special power. When Nightwing would be affected by a glyph or special power, you may ignore his species of Kryptonian. SHADOW TELEKINETICS 15 Once per turn, after moving or before attacking with Nightwing, you may choose a figure within 4 clear sight spaces of Nightwing and roll the 20-sided die, adding 1 to the roll for each shadow tile within 2 spaces of Nightwing to a maximum of +4. If you roll a 15 or higher, inflict one wound on that figure. If you roll a 20 or higher, you may also remove one unrevealed Order Marker from that figure's card. KRYPTONIAN DEFENSE When rolling defense dice against a normal attack from a figure that is not a Kryptonian, if at least one shield is rolled, all blanks rolled count as extra shields.

Re: The Book of Nightwing (Chris Kent) (Breathing)
What's the point of treating his species as Entity?
It strikes me as odd that the first power deals with shadow tiles, but the second power, called Shadow Constructs, has nothing to do with them. C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

That's fair. Was working some off the structure on Flamebird. The Nightwing Entity gives hims strength from the shadow. He can make the Shadow Constructs regardless. |

Re: The Book of Nightwing (Chris Kent) (Breathing)
Is there a planned Nightwing Entity card?

Re: The Book of Nightwing (Chris Kent) (Breathing)
You've dug down far enough to pull out a character I don't recognize! I know about the Kryptonian Nightwing, I know about Chris Kent, didn't know he took on that mantle at some point...
As-is I do sort of feel that Nightwing Empowerment comes off as kind of... grab-bag-y? Three separate powers that are only vaguely tied together. It's taking up the bulk of the complexity of the card, and it all feels very situational and esoteric - two things that don't have any mechanical relevance to me, and one that's terrain specific. But of course, we don't have Flamebird yet, and I assume she'll have a somewhat symmetrical power, which helps. That's my knee-jerk reaction, at least - ultimately it's fine in my book to have more obscure characters end up situational, as long as you're happy with how they play on the battlefield.

Re: The Book of Nightwing (Chris Kent) (Breathing)
Threw up a little bio there to hopefully help out. I'm thinking through a little restructuring, but also feeling like the Entity part is probably droppable for streamlining purposes.

Re: The Book of Nightwing (Chris Kent) (Breathing)
I'd agree. It's not really doing anything beyond being a thematic nod, IMO. And it's going to be a negative rather than a positive most of the time, as outside of counterdraft situations you're more likely to be building around Kryptonian synergies than facing Kryptonite.

Re: The Book of Nightwing (Chris Kent) (Breathing)
Yea I’m not sure what the Entity part really benefits at all outside of theme unless you have that planned as a mechanical hook for the actual Nightwing Entity later on.

Re: The Book of Nightwing (Chris Kent) (Breathing)
What if he just had the Entity species in addition (and perhaps additionally couldn’t have his A/D reduced, like Prime.)
I’m personally fine with the way it is currenlty. Definitely niche, but it’s a fun little thing that’ll give him a unique IBW spread. But I also understand the desire to go simpler. |
