So other than wording it looks like we are defaulting her to 4 defense and taking herself out of the aura.

Also keywords and Symbols

we aren't adding to "defensive dice" or are we? questioning that wording.

[Ronin]

FANTASTIC FORCE FIELD 4

I'd go more like:

Allied Adventurers and Scientists within 4 clear spaces of Invisible Woman have +4 Defense. All other allies within 4 clear spaces of Invisible Woman have +2 Defense.

or

Allies within 4 clear spaces of Invisible Woman have +2 Defense, or +4 Defense if they are Adventurers or Scientists.

INVISIBILITY

The "allied and enemy" distinction is trying to rule out her moving through objects? Seems like a good goal, invisibility shouldn't let you get through a castle door or whatever. I'd be tempted to go:

Invisible Woman can move through all characters and is never in clear sight of enemy figures.

I haven't gotten group consensus on using "characters" like that, but it seems like a fairly easy short hand for "figures excluding objects". Alternatively it might be cleaner to do like... "Hero and Squad" figures vs "allied and enemy"?

[Ronin]

Oh, I think the personality is worth considering here: Merciful doesn't stick out as a problematic one, but we should do our due diligence and make sure we have an idea of how widely-used it'll be.

And as one last little thing, I'd actually go Sue Storm for the SI over Susan Richards. I get that Richards is period-accurate but Sue Storm is still the name that still sees use in a modern context, and tracks for every era of the character.

I originally had Sue Storm but when I went to verify Original LD I saw it was Susan Richards. SO I'm pro Sue Storm

EDIT: I actually already had Sue Storm in the OP at the top.

[Arch-vile]

Totally agreed on Sue Storm. I like the second wording that Ronin posted, much more concise and more intuitive for me.

There are 4 uses of Merciful right now: Jean Grey, Invisible Woman, Angel, and Jade. Seems okay to reuse in that context unless we'd like to consolidate into another personality.

[japes]

so first thing is which do we prefer...

A: Allied Adventurers and Scientists within 4 clear spaces of Invisible Woman have +4 Defense. All other allies within 4 clear spaces of Invisible Woman have +2 Defense.

or

B: Allies within 4 clear spaces of Invisible Woman have +2 Defense, or +4 Defense if they are Adventurers or Scientists.

and on this...

so are we good with this (Yea or Nay)

Invisible Woman can move through all characters and is never in clear sight of enemy figures.

I'm for B in the first and Yea for the second

[Arch-vile]

B and yea for the second point

[IAmBatman]

I really like the all-in-one format of the OP here and am excited about getting that aspect down in 2.0. Nice work, japes!

Catching up on the rest of the comments, but wanted to get that out first.

[IAmBatman]

B (nice work on that, Ronin)
yea I'm into Characters as a term and need to remember to add it to the glossary at some point.

For personality, the other two that might be worth considering (and they have similarly short lists) are Benevolent and Compassionate.

[japes]

Oh I like Compassionate! That scans better than Merciful to me. Merciful is more I want to strike you down but I'm choosing not to at this moment in my mind. compassionate though seems like a much better fit. I guess we need to look at what other figures are in those three personalities. at least one can probably be dropped. I could see an argument for keeping compassionate and either merciful or benevolent but not both of those.

[IAmBatman]
