Re: The Book of Elastigirl (Helen Parr) - Breathing

NAME = Elastigirl
SECRET IDENTITY = Helen Parr

SPECIES = Superhuman
UNIQUENESS = Unique Hero
CLASS = Crime Fighter
PERSONALITY = Protective

SIZE/HEIGHT = Medium 5

LIFE = 5

MOVE = 7
RANGE = 2
ATTACK = 4
DEFENSE = 6

POINTS = 225

SUPERHUMAN DEVOTION
If a Superhuman you control receives one or more wounds or is destroyed by an opponent's figure, you may place any number of unrevealed Order Markers from its card on this card and immediately move Elastigirl with her Stretch Walk special power. For the rest of the round, when Elastigirl attacks, she may attack one additional time.

ELASTI-WRAP 9
Friendly figures do not take leaving engagement attacks from opponents' small or medium figures that are engaged with Elastigirl. Any time an opponent would begin the movement of an adjacent small or medium figure, you may first roll the 20-sided die. If you roll 9 or higher, the figure may not be moved this turn.

STRETCH WALK 25
Instead of her normal move, Elastigirl may use Stretch Walk. Stretch Walk has a move of 3. When counting spaces for Stretch Walk, ignore elevations. Elastigirl may stretch over water without stopping, stretch over figures without becoming engaged and stretch over obstacles. Elastigirl may not stretch more than 25 levels up or down with a single stretch. When Elastigirl starts to stretch, she will not take any leaving engagement attacks.

SUPER STRENGTH

Don't forget to link in the Outer Sanctum.

 

[IAmBatman]

Re: The Book of Elastigirl (Helen Parr) - Breathing

Only thought on the design: Why does she only act devoted when she's not engaged? Especially when the devotion triggers a power that has built in disengagement? Seems like it should trigger whether she's engaged or not?

The basic theme of just trying to hold the bad guys off feels about right for how the character is portrayed.

 

[tcglkn]

Re: The Book of Elastigirl (Helen Parr) - Breathing

I think I just copied the unenagaged part from Splinter, which makes sense for the move since he disappeared into the Shadows. Definitely not needed here.

 

[Lord Pyre]

Re: The Book of Elastigirl (Helen Parr) - Breathing

What if we trigger devotion on wounds instead of destruction? I think she'd want to protect the kids as much as possible, instead of acting only once they're knocked out.

Looks good otherwise

 

[Arch-vile]

Re: The Book of Elastigirl (Helen Parr) - Breathing

I like that idea. That would combo well with Mister Incredible's Heroic Duty too.

 

[tcglkn]

Re: The Book of Elastigirl (Helen Parr) - Breathing

I worry that would be too disruptive to gameplay if everytime a Superhuman took a wound she got all the OMs.

 

[Lord Pyre]

Re: The Book of Elastigirl (Helen Parr) - Breathing

Currently it's a "may" power, so you don't have to at all. Just move one to her card to get the double attack bonus, and you don't have to move any more.

 

[IAmBatman]

Re: The Book of Elastigirl (Helen Parr) - Breathing

That would certainly power her up. On the other hand, sticking with destroyed passively encourages you to take her with weaker, lower costed Superhumans, which seems like a good soft synergy to have.

 

[tcglkn]

Re: The Book of Elastigirl (Helen Parr) - Breathing

I mean wounded would still encourage that because Violet and Dash as going to take wounds easier than Mister Incredible will.

SUPERHUMAN DEVOTION
If a Superhuman you control is dealt one or more wounds or destroyed by an opponent's figure, you may place any unrevealed Order Markers from its card on this card and immediately move her with her Stretch Walk special power. For the rest of the round, when Elastigirl attacks, she may attack one additional time.

Something like this?

 

[IAmBatman]

Re: The Book of Elastigirl (Helen Parr) - Breathing

Yeah, I think that does it. And definitely amps up her activity, which is probably good.

 

[Arch-vile]

Re: The Book of Elastigirl (Helen Parr) - Breathing

I like the look of that.

Think I am going to add this so it is a little more clear so you don't have to move all the Order Markers.

 

[IAmBatman]

Re: The Book of Elastigirl (Helen Parr) - Breathing

Ah, good. I agree that did not read clearly before.

 

[tcglkn]

Re: The Book of Elastigirl (Helen Parr) - Breathing

SP updated. I'm getting 230 on the calculator which would be ideal here. If she ends up being more powerful I can trim some points off the kids potentially.

 

[IAmBatman]

Re: The Book of Elastigirl (Helen Parr) - Breathing

I got 230 exactly as well.

 

[Lord Pyre]

Re: The Book of Elastigirl (Helen Parr) - Breathing

Cool!

 

[johnny139]

Re: The Book of Elastigirl (Helen Parr) - Breathing

I agree on the move to wounds - I think it makes sense for her to go mama bear if they're hurt in any way, and it'll definitely make her a more dynamic part of the battlefield. Should be fun.

COMPETITIVE REVIEW BOARD CHECKLIST

Spoiler Alert!

Efficiency- Check to see if your design is providing armies with turns/moves/etc. to a degree that would make it difficult or impossible for an opponent to keep up with your output.

1. Does your design allow itself or figures to move/attack/take a turn/etc. instead of/in addition to your normal turn for revealing an Order Marker? Is it granting these benefits to too broad a range of units? Does it combine with other powers to create overly long or powerful chains of actions?
No

2. Does your design allow you to take actions during an opponent's turn? Can it combine with other powers to create tediously long reactions to enemy actions or a restrictive environment?
Yea, but just prevents movement of adjacent figures

3. Does your design allow you to rearrange your Order Markers or otherwise bypass the costs of Order Marker requirements on the special powers of other figures?
Kinda, not bypassing any requirements, just lets you save them.

4. Is your design doing anything outside of a player's turn, at the start or end of the round? Is the effect too powerful by itself or when combined with other powers?
No

5. Does your design have any powers that trigger anytime it moves as opposed to only when it moves normally on its turn? Will it be too efficient when combined with figures that grant extra moves to figures?
No

6. Is your design adding or subtracting from initiative rolls? Will it pair too easily with other figures that alter initiative or have powers triggering on the results of initiative rolls?
No


Potency- Check to see if your design is wounding/removing/etc. enemy figures, increasing the chances of other figures in your army doing so, or otherwise directly effecting the number of figures available to players to a degree that would make it difficult or impossible for an opponent to recover from.

1. Does your design have a chance to inflict wounds or destroy figures? Is it getting these chances too frequently or having to high a chance of success? Is the power balanced against expensive targets that can cause a massive swing in the game when destroyed?
Not outside of attacking

2. Is your design adding to the stats or 20-sided die rolls of other figures in your army? Is it a boosting a broad enough range of units effectively enough to become a 'mandatory' draft or inhibit future design space? Can it be combined with other boosts too easily?
No

3. Will your design benefit from stat boosts or other enhancement to an overpowering degree? Will it restrict future growth within its faction or point cost by limiting available boosts to others?
She might be good enough without her family in a Star-Lord build but unlikely

4. Does your design take control of enemy figures permanently or temporarily? Is it too difficult to for your opponent to regain control of their figure or recover from the losing the figure? Does the method of taking control expose the enemy figure to the powers of other figures in your army that can easily destroy it?
No

5. Can your design heal itself or others or revive itself or others? Is it doing so in a way that an opponent cannot hope to overcome in certain scenarios?
No

6. Does your design place enemy figures on its card or otherwise have an unconventional method of temporarily removing enemy figures from play? Will it guarantee your victory against a single remaining enemy figure?
No


Chicanery- Check to see if your design is preventing your opponent from taking actions with too much ease or is otherwise causing negative play experience through tactics that make your opponent feel you're 'not playing fair'

1. Does your design restrict the movement of enemy figures, or allow you to move enemy figures? Can it do so in a way that results in an unwinnable scenario for your opponent if they are down to one figure, posses only figures with a range of 1, etc.? Can your design easily combine with other figures to greatly impede enemy figures or otherwise gain an excessive advantage?
No, since she has to be engaged with them they can still attack her.

2. Does your design effect/change the placement of an enemy's Order Markers, or remove their Order Markers entirely? Can it force Order Markers to go onto cards that have no figures on the battlefield? Can your design easily combine with other figures to completely dictate the placement of an enemy's Order Markers or remove all of their Order Markers?
No

3. Does your design inhibit your opponent from attacking your figures or make attacking a losing proposition? Are there scenarios or combinations that make your opponent totally unable to harm your figures through attacking?
No

4. Does your design directly negate the powers of enemy figures or otherwise ignore them in a way that can completely disrupt the opponent's strategy or leave them feeling like they are stuck playing figures without special powers?
No

5. Does your design become overly powerful in a podded group of figures, or provide significant benefit to your army without leaving your Start Zone?
No

6. You can attack your own figures in Heroscape, does your design have any powers that will trigger off of doing so or otherwise wounding/destroying your own figures? Is this intentional on your part? Will the design be too efficient or potent when doing so?
Limited Devotion to opponent's figures so you can't turn on her Double Attack by yourself. That was there from the start.

CONSISTENCY CHECKLIST (SHORT FORM)

Spoiler Alert!

Consistency Concerns
Name and Identity
Verify character is named in a way that is clear, accurate and feels consistent with the way other characters are named.
Yep, slightly confusing with the completely unrelated Doom Patrol character

Uniqueness and Type
Verify that the power text reflects the listed uniqueness and type, that the uniqueness fits the character, and that squad size is listed for squads.
All good

Left Box
If the character's species, class or personality is reused, verify that the character feels thematically consistent with other figures that have that species, class or personality. If they are not reused, verify that there is no pre-existing species, class or personality that would make more sense.
All good

Size and Height
Verify that the listed size and height are accurate. Standing the mini up next to a stack of tiles, and a few other minis of various sizes, is encouraged.
Yep

Super Strength and Flying
Verify that these special powers are present if they make sense, and not if they don't.
Super Strength based on other stretchy characters having it.

New Powers - Names
Verify that any new powers are not using power names identical to, or very similar to, pre-existing powers. Verify that any new powers are actually new and not old powers with new names.
Incredible Devotion is similar to Splinter's and Elasti-wrap is new.

New Powers - Effects
Verify that the effect and timing of all new powers is clear. Verify that any logical immunities, benefits, or weaknesses (whether those be necessary for thematic or mechanical reasons) are implemented: consider whether defensive powers that work against normal attacks should also work against special attacks, whether or not a power has an elemental component that some figures should resist, and whether or not unliving figures (such as Undead and Androids) should be affected.
Rather straightforward.

Reused Powers
Verify that the design is reusing powers in place of creating new ones, where reused powers could implement the same theme and mechanics with no differences or only trivial differences. Verify that any reused powers have the correct text.
Yep all good.

Power Level
Verify that the character's movement, attack, range, and defense (in conjunction with any special powers that enhance those stats) feel consistent with the capabilities of characters with analogous powers and abilities. Verify that the character falls into a similar point range to characters with comparative powers and abilities.
Looks good to me.

Re: The Book of Elastigirl (Helen Parr) - Breathing

I propose we move to Initial Playtesting here.

 

[Soundwarp SG-1]

Re: The Book of Elastigirl (Helen Parr) - VOTE for Initial

Superhuman Devotion needs to say Elastigirl instead of ‘her’ in the first sentence. Right now it makes it sound like you’re moving the wounded figure... but only if they’re female and have Strech Walk

Yea
