Moving right along...looking good.

[japes]

Is there a Justice League piece that capitalizes on replacing the previously removed OM unrevealed?

[IAmBatman]

Good question. I honestly forgot who that interaction was for.

[MrNobody]

John Stewart is one. Aquaman.

Thank you. That's what I was looking for. My Justice League Animated love likes the Stewart Synergy there.

[Yodaking]

If she ends up being a Warrior, Grimlock is a Warrior that has an ability that cares about unrevealed OM's on his card. He doesn't have any way to make the OM's leave his card though. WW, Hawkgirl, Grimlock, & someone to remove OM's from cards could be a fun little army. Or does the ability only work if the OM was specifically removed from that card? Like can you have Ozy remove an OM from Superman's card, and then Hawkgirl uses her power to take it back from Ozy then place it on WW card?

[IAmBatman]

Great calls, Nobody, thank you! John was definitely the main one discussed during the 1.0 design.

It does specify previously removed Order Marker. You can also do stuff with like Silver Surfer, TMNT, etc. with it, and since Hawkwoman doesn't depend on playing inside her faction, that's not tough to pull off. That said, no one complained about any of that in 1.0 and it was totally viable there, so I'm not going to fret about it unless someone says to.

Does Grimlock have any outgoing Warrior synergy or would she basically work the same with him regardless? Wonder Woman recruits warriors to the JL, so that covers that bit for Wonder Woman.

[Yodaking]

No synergy from Grimlock, so yeah WW is the JL hook and that's all that was needed. She can be an officer and the 3 of them would play the same way. Not sure who can remove an OM from Grimlock's card in a way you would want to do it, but the Ozy protection is still cool no matter who's she's playing with.

[IAmBatman]

So are we feeling good about the mechanics here and about Officer as a class? Planning to give this a full 72 hours then propose directly to Art if no one has any concerns.

[MrNobody]

I'd love to have a little more vision about where Officer is going before we make that change.

Nova Corps is one of those factions where I have no immediate plan to LD them, but I want to one day and that makes me feel incredibly attached and possessive towards them. But, like, in a totally healthy way. If we're making Officer into more of a general SPAAACE COP class, I'd love to shift Nova Prime and other future Novas over there.

I still think Kilowog is a big design limiter. We discussed the thematics, and I think it's justifiable that him giving people range represents him making them constructs or whatever. But I also don't want every Officer we make to feel limited by the most super duper stat booster in our entire game. So I'd love to have some idea of what we're going to do with him.

I think even just making the +1 Move and Attack global to all Officers and the +1 Range and Defense specific to GLs would help a lot.

[Yodaking]

A Nova Corps GL team up sounds fun to me. If Officer is a Space Cop vibe for us, then the 1st Rocket Racoon design could be considered. It might get tricky figuring out what's a lawman and what's an officer going forward. Alternate idea would to make all the Officers Lawmen.
