Doctor Doom (Victor Von Doom) (Unique)

The once per activation thing only really helps Squads which Doom should generally be able to tank and then destroy, often for healing. The only real get around are manuevers now that I'm really thinking about it...and it wouldn't work at start and end of round movements :ponder:
 
Hmm ... the start of round/outside of turn movement stuff is a good point. Also if we make the turn ending required, then if you throw someone into it on your own turn, you have to end your own turn, which sucks lol.

What if it was like this?

ELABORATE DEATH TRAP 14
After an enemy ends a move of 1+ spaces within 4 clear spaces of Doctor Doom, you may roll a d20. On a 14+, place that enemy within 4 spaces of Doctor Doom and you may end the activation. If that enemy is placed adjacent to Doctor Doom, it takes 1 wound. A figure can only be moved by this ability once per turn.

Lets you keep rolling for it, but you can only successfully move a figure once per turn. I also lightened up the turn ending, since thematically it doesn't make any sense that it ends an entire player turn just because the one figure gets hit.

I feel like that's a good balance of constant menace and dialing back some of the unfun.
 
Looks awesome, thanks!

Does it now go to the Ready for Art stage?


If so, no need to use this, but I've always liked this image:

Thread title isn't updated so I'm not sure what stage we're actually on, but we clearly were functionally performing Final Editing. :p Doesn't seem like any changes that need testing so if you feel good about the wording (and Karat and I both gave :up: on it) you can update the thread title to "Ready for Art".

Blurb seems lack luster and subjective. What makes him the greatest (in his opinion)?

yea

It was just me being tongue-in-cheek. A statement I'm sure he would agree with.

Why does he think he's the greatest? It's a long quote, but here's how he convinced Wakanda's Panther God to give him all its vibranium:

"My methods are a means to an end, no different than pruning weeds in order to let an orchid flourish. Those who stand in the way of my vision oppose me because they fear me, but more than that they fear what I represent. Change. Do you know why I despise Richards? And T'Challa? Because never once they reined in their own self-righteous arrogance long enough to try and see what I see. Never once have they asked me: Why? Do you want to know?
Love.

Measure my crimes against what mankind does to itself, and I am a saint. Humans (Homo sapiens) are a predator species. It's what brought us down from the trees, and it's what will ultimately reduce us to a historical footnote in cosmic history. I am more than a scientist, more than the power-hungry despot that Richards and the others paint me as. I am a sorcerer.

I have looked into the future, I have seen how one violent action after another spins the world toward a future where all that remains of Earth is a burned out cinder. Every time I have looked into the future, that is what I have seen. Every time but one. In one possible future mankind becomes united. Cures for all diseases are found. Global conflict ends. Hunger is abolished, education is universal, and no one goes without. In that world, there are laws. To break even the slightest of these is to suffer immediate and terminal punishment. After a while, no one would dare lay hands upon the innocent, or commit a crime of hate, or steal bread from the table of another.

Ten thousand futures have I looked at. A hundred thousand. And in only one does mankind finally unite, and flourish... and survive. Only one. Doomworld."

Here's two other quotes that could be short and sweet bios.

"Rivals... No one rivals Doom! NO ONE! Doom is supreme! There is no power on earth, no intellect in all creation to equal Mine!"

or

"I was a god, Valeria.

I found it... beneath me."

I like this last one.

I like the first of those last 2.
 
Re: Doctor Doom (Victor Von Doom) (Unique) (Vote for On Deck

I don't love the ALL CAPS and heavy use of "!".

The second one is perfectly grandiloquent without being flowery, and calls out to how Mystic Power Drain functions in the game.

legacy design needs updated. The sortable index I believe has the original LD i've been told.

EDIT: Just checked...it actually says C3G in the index.
