Character Bio - Doctor Stephen Strange, once a famous surgeon, traded in his career to study the mystic arts from an ancient and wise sorcerer - The Ancient One. After many years of studying and mastering the disciplines of his master's mystic teachings, Doctor Stephen Strange resurfaced to the modern world as Doctor Strange: Sorcerer Supreme. Equipped with artifacts such as his levitation cloak and the Eye of Agamotto, his charge is to protect this realm from the evil of Dormammu, the demonic entity that wishes to enslave our entire existence in his oppressive hate-filled wrath.

EYE OF AGAMOTTO
When an opponent's figure would receive one or more wounds from Doctor Strange's normal attack, you may choose not to inflict any number of those wounds. Remove one unrevealed Order Marker at random from that figure's Army Card for each wound you chose not to inflict with Doctor Strange's normal attack.

MASTER OF THE MYSTIC ARTS
If Doctor Strange is not engaged, opponents' figures that have the Magical Defense special power and are within 3 clear sight spaces of Doctor Strange may not use any special power on their Army Cards unless they have this special power.

MAGICAL DEFENSE
When Doctor Strange is attacked by an opponent's figure that does not have the Magical Defense special power, the most wounds Doctor Strange can take for this attack is one.

SUPERSTRENGTH

FLYING

Looks fantastic! :)

One tough cookie offensively and defensively. If he negates another figure with Magical Defense's special powers this includes their Magical Defense. Meaning his Magical Defense is still in play. A good counterdraft for sure.

Thanks. Hopefully his Eye of Agamoto, Magical Defense, high life, and ranged flying will help keep him from being just a counter draft, but yeah, if he is up against some magic wielders, he can really rein supreme - as in Sorcerer Supreme. 8)
 
Re: The Book of Doctor Strange - Designing

Yeah, I'd draft him w/o other Magic wielders on the board for sure. Just icing on the cake.

Good. I was hoping for that. I think Eye of Agamoto will be a fun way of cutting out the D20 and just going straight for the power. To me that feels more all powerful wizard like.

For sure.

Small typo in that power here:
"at random from that Unique Heroe's Army Card"
 
Re: The Book of Doctor Strange - Designing

Looks great! :)
Other than the typo GP just mentioned, the only qualm I have is that I'm not crazy about Super Strength on him. We don't have it on Scarlet Witch or Zatanna, so we really haven't interpreted magical power into Super Strength before ... and without casting spells, I'm pretty sure he's not able to list 1,000 lbs.
 
Re: The Book of Doctor Strange - Designing

Just to clarify: If a figure starts its move more than 3 spaces away, moves within 3 spaces during the course of its move, but ends its move more than 3 spaces away, it's all good.

Love the comic art and background.
 
Re: The Book of Doctor Strange - Designing

That's how I read it, Sir G. Except, of course, during the part of their move in which they're within 3 spaces of Doctor Strange, they couldn't use any powers (like flying, for instance).
As long as they didn't start their turn within 3 spaces of Doctor Strange and aren't within 3 spaces of Doctor Strange when they're attempting to actually use the power, they're good to go.

By this logic Jean Grey and Magneto should not have Super Strength either.

Mutant powers aren't magic, but close enough.
 
Re: The Book of Doctor Strange - Designing

Yeah, I am not sure how one can separate Super Strength from a character by imagining them without their powers. I mean if Superman didn't have his powers, he wouldn't have Super Strength either. Same with Hulk, Hawkman, Strong Guy, etc.

Doctor Strange has a power set, that from what I have encountered, allows him to have super human strength, ability to avoid falling (or take damage from it), and allows him to blast holes into doors/destructible objects - just like Jean Grey. Now I can't say the same things about Scarlet Witch, but for the Sorcerer Supreme, I can.

POLL TIME

Do you think Doctor Strange should have Super Strength?

Yes

or

No
 
Re: The Book of Doctor Strange - Designing

Yea

I like keeping high priced figures with protections that SS offers, if it makes sense.
 
Re: The Book of Doctor Strange - Designing

Yea We gotta consider a character's powers or Jean wouldn't have Superstrength.
 
Re: The Book of Doctor Strange - Designing

You've answered my concerns about what makes him different from Zatanna and Scarlet Witch - he's more powerful. yea.
 
Re: The Book of Doctor Strange - Designing

Yea to SS. It will always be via spells in my book. Should he have a throw power like Jean and Mags?
 
Re: The Book of Doctor Strange - Designing

Powers like that take up a toooon of text. Not to mention, don't Jean Grey, Graviton, and Magneto have the whole "Marvel Universe characters who throw" niche pretty well sewn up? :p And that's with a possible Polaris in the future as well.
 
Re: The Book of Doctor Strange - Designing

I say No to super strength. But I said no to Jean & Magneto also :shrug:.

Other then that I think he is looking fine.

Cheers
 
Re: The Book of Doctor Strange - Designing

Hahma wasn't part of the ERB on this one, but he might as well have been. He pm'd me his thoughts about the design, and he liked everything except for Eye of Agamoto's lack of choice. He thought that if we were to have a single power represent an amulet that has unlimited applications, we should at least create some in game choices to allow the player to feel as thought they were choosing which spells they were casting. His suggestion was to make the player choose to either deal damage or remove orders, and my counter writeup does both like in the OP, but incorporates the game decision aspect that Hahma was expecting. I really like it, I hope you all do as well.

EYE OF AGAMOTO
When an opponent's Unique Hero would receive one or more wounds from Doctor Strange's normal attack, you may choose to not inflict any number of those wounds. Remove one unrevealed Order Marker at random from that Unique Hero's Army Card for each wound you chose not to inflict with Doctor Strange's normal attack.
 
Re: The Book of Doctor Strange - Designing

It takes the power level down a notch, but would still be really powerful. I think this is a good change. :thumbsup:
 
Re: The Book of Doctor Strange - Designing

I like that too.
