The Book of Anti-Venom

Re: The Book of Anti-Venom - Final Editing

Are we sure on Medium 5?
:unsure:
 
Re: The Book of Anti-Venom - Final Editing

I think Anti-Venom Grasp or similar would work as an alternate power name. I don't think the power name is super usable elsewhere anyway, but can't hurt.
 
Re: The Book of Anti-Venom - Final Editing

ANTI-VENOMOUS GRASP
Subtract 1 from a figure's Defense number when defending against an adjacent normal attack from Anti-Venom, or 2 if that figure is a Symbiote.

If we wanted to avoid the "figures rolling dice" thing. I agree a less specific name works. Other formulations of antivenom include antivenin, antivenene, antitoxin, stuff like that.

EDIT: Ick, actually, I don't like that at all.

Way better, not sure what I was thinking with the first wording. :headshake:

If we're not using an aggressively on-the-nose naming convention, we're not being true to the character. :p

I'm still cool with Disarming Grasp, but if we're going specific, may as well go all-in.
 
Re: The Book of Anti-Venom - Final Editing

Yeah I’d rather go Antivenom grasp than a synonym if we’re going that route.
 
Re: The Book of Anti-Venom - Final Editing

Clearly the best naming option here is:

Re: The Book of Anti-Venom - Final Editing

Some edits.
HEALER X
Before moving, you may reveal an “X” Order Marker on this card to remove one Wound Marker from the Army Card of an adjacent figure that is not a destructible object or Android. After taking a turn with Anti-Venom, remove 1one Wound Marker from this Army Card.

ANTI-VENOMOUS GRASP
When Anti-Venom attacks an adjacent figure with a normal attack, it subtracts 1 from its Defense number, or 2 i. If that figure is a Symbiote, it subtracts 2 from its Defense number instead.
For pasteability:

You didn't tag me :p luckily I was subscribed already though :lol:

Dang I forgot you weren’t a hero!

Healer X is a reuse so not sure we want to change the wording?

Then we need to update that wording wherever it is to be more consistent with Healing Factor X. Should not be changing from one to 1 within the same power text :poorpost:
 
Re: The Book of Anti-Venom - Final Editing

Switching "1" to "one" is what you want to make an update for? What have you got against the art guys? :p

I don't disagree with the point you're making, just very skeptical that it's worth updating over. (Even though it's only one card)
 
Re: The Book of Anti-Venom - Final Editing

Consistency is King.
 
Re: The Book of Anti-Venom - Final Editing

Alright updated. I liked Johnnys draft of Grasp better. Went with Antivenom grasp, not sure antivenomous is a real term. Updated Healer X with Karats update. Not a huge issue to update Black Tarantula, but at least we’re good here. I think we’re good for cards then! @Arkham

No rush, I’ve been slow anyway :)
 
Re: The Book of Anti-Venom - Final Editing

That comma is extraneous then.
 
Re: The Book of Anti-Venom - Final Editing

Never noticed the switch from 'one Wound' to '1 Wound' in the same power before, agree that it seems unprofessional/tacky/sloppy.
 
Re: The Book of Anti-Venom - Final Editing

For what it's worth I'm fine with the one sentence or two sentence version for Grasp.

For "1" vs. "one" stuff, that's a real blindspot for me - something I really need to pay attention to notice, and can never remember which one we use where. So yeah, definitely something to call out if you notice it in a power I've rewritten!

The mini art makes him look like he's floating in the air to me.
 
Re: The Book of Anti-Venom - Final Editing

Good. That's because he is. :lol: It's supposed to be similar to the comic art, almost like he's swinging through the city.
 
Re: The Book of Anti-Venom - Final Editing

It's close to a pretty common web swing pose.

Re: The Book of Anti-Venom - Final Editing

I think I'd feel better about it if I could see a web, like on Spidey's card.
