_________________________________________________________________

Character Bio - The daughter of the original Black Canary, Dinah Lance grew up surrounded by the heroes of the Justice Society and was determined to become a crime fighter like them. Her parents were, naturally, against this, but fate took a hand with the discovery that Dinah, as a consequence of the meta-gene, was able to project a devastating sonic scream. Armed with this ability, and with extensive martial arts training from Ted Grant, the golden age Wildcat, Dinah launched her super-heroic career, and soon became a founder member of the Justice League of America, where she met and romanced Oliver Queen, the Green Arrow.

NAME = BLACK CANARY
SECRET IDENTITY = DINAH LANCE

SPECIES = METAHUMAN
UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO
CLASS = VIGILANTE
PERSONALITY = DETERMINED
SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5

LIFE = 4
MOVE = 6
RANGE = 1
ATTACK = 5
DEFENSE = 5
POINTS = 190

CANARY CRY SPECIAL ATTACK
Range Special. Attack 4.
Choose 3 spaces in a straight line from Black Canary. All figures on the chosen spaces, and all figures other than Black Canary within 1 space of the chosen spaces, are affected by this special attack. Roll 4 attack dice once for all affected figures. Each figure rolls defense dice separately. Symbiotes roll 1 fewer defense die against this special attack.

FISTS OF FURY
If Black Canary rolls at least 3 skulls with her normal attack, Black Canary may attack again with her normal attack. Black Canary may continue attacking with her normal attack until Black Canary rolls fewer than 3 skulls. Black Canary cannot attack more than four times in a single turn.

CUPID'S ARROW
After taking a turn with Black Canary, if you control Green Arrow, he may immediately attack any opponent's figure adjacent to Black Canary with a normal attack if possible. When using Cupid's Arrow, you may add 2 to the 20-sided die roll for Green Arrow's Skill Shot.

Spoiler Alert!

Under strategy we should probably make mention of Canary Cry's usefulness against Symbiotes like Venom.
The book looks good!

-Rulings and Clarifications-

• Canary Cry Special Attack - This special attack is the first of its kind because it references figures that are adjacent to spaces. For this power to be used correctly, we must define what being "adjacent to a space" means. Adjacent to Spaces - The figure is adjacent to a space if it is next to the space, and the difference in levels between the space the figure is occupying and the other space is less than the height of the figure.

Please add this Whitestuff. It took me a while to put this together. Thanks, and looking good over here btw.

I'm confused by that comment, Griff. Is that what you're saying?

Adjacent to Spaces - The figure is adjacent to a space if the elevation change between the two spaces is less than the height of the figure.

I'll leave what's there until you rules lawyers come to a decision...

Sorry. I edited my previous comment instead of quoting. Does this definition work?

EDIT: And then I get ninja'd by Griff.

"Adjacent to Spaces - The figure is adjacent to a space if it is next to the space "one space over", and the difference in height between the two is less than the height of the figure."

OK ... I think what's still messing me up about this is that a "space" doesn't really have a "height" does it? Figures have heights. But do spaces?

 

[Balantai]

I updated my first post. How does that work for you.

Adjacent to Spaces - The figure is adjacent to a space if it is next to the space "one space over", and the difference in height between the two is less than the height of the figure.

It's still a bit messy.

How about:
Adjacent to Spaces - The figure is adjacent to a space if the difference in height between the two spaces is less than the height of the figure and if the spaces were equal in level, they would be linked.

How about that?

How about just leaving it at this?

I added spaces because you're referencing the figure in the previous sentence and it didn't seem clear which "two" you were referring.

they would be linked

Where are you guys getting this "linked" wierdness from?

As you're building a board, you're "linking" the hexes together.

[Balantai]

YES, that is the best so far!

The main issue is that "one space over" needs to be defined.
