I trimmed up the text a bit and made changes to match other recent decisions so please double check them.

I then took away the Archer Class and made it into a Keyword as requested. Just need a new Class now, Acrobat was the only thing that came to mind for the WCA comic take on Clint. I seem to recall he was a circus performer in the comics and he's always tumbling/rolling around (ie. moving target power). I figured a MCU take could be an Agent. Any other ideas for a new Class here? He's pretty solid, so I wasn't trying to give him a big new synergy web by picking a popular class but I could be persuaded in that direction. One other thought I did have was Lover after seeing that had some synergy. He has been in relationships with Black Widow, Mocking Bird, Moonstone, Scarlet Witch, & Wasp.

One change I did make is giving him the stealth symbol and removing the part about not taking swipes when using Moving Target. I figured if he can use his acrobatics to move on defense without taking swipes, he could avoid swipes during all moves. It would mean all the other figures that have since re-used Moving Target would also get the Stealth Symbol though. Rocket Racoon II is one for sure, then I think I've seen 2 or 3 other cards with Moving Target now.

Hmm, Acrobat would be a brand new class. Is that something worth making into a class? Would we be likely to use it again with any frequency?

Pouring over current classes in the Index, the options that stand out so far: Avenger (could see this getting eliminated in 2.0), Crime Fighter, Leader (since he led the WCA), maybe Entertainer if we really want to go with the Circus background?

I think I'd lead towards Leader of those, personally.

Wording looks good for the most part. Under Moving Target, I think you want to add the block to the roll, not the result, since the result is the final tally *after* any additions or subtractions.

[MrNobody]

+1 for Leader. I like how Special Arrow clarifies the timing on the negation a bit more. Good stuff!

[Ericth74]

Leader was my 1st thought here

[Arch-vile]

Leader makes sense.

Of my LDs, I know Aang has Moving Target, and I think it’d be fine to switch him to have a Stealth symbol with that Moving Target change. I agree the change makes sense thematically for Hawkeye as it is weird to only have disengage during defense.

[Yodaking]

Leader works for me and I'm okay with keeping him out of Star Lord builds.

[Yodaking]

I propose Hawkeye for Art.
