Glyph Bio - Though most urbanites prefer to use an elevator or perhaps a staircase, the oft-overlooked rope provides a handy means of ascending or descending a building. It is exceptionally useful for anyone trying to avoid the crowd, or just get some fresh air en route to their preferred elevation.

Re: The Book of Glyph of Utility: Bat-Rope (FE)

NAME = GLYPH OF UTILITY: BAT-ROPE
SUBTITLE = CLIMBING MOVEMENT

EQUIPMENT GLYPH

Instead of moving this figure normally, you may choose a small or medium friendly figure that is adjacent to this figure, and then you may move this figure one space up to 40 levels up or down. After moving with this special power, if you chose a figure, you may place it on an empty space adjacent to this figure. Figures moved with this special power will not take any leaving engagement attacks. After using this special power, if this figure is a Valiant Crime Fighter, it may use this special power one additional time.

Having a hard time figuring out art here - probably any coil of rope could do in a pinch, but I was hoping for a decent shot of the one from the show that had a little bat-shaped hook at the end.

Can't seem to find a decent-sized image of that hook, though. This is the best I can do (upper right):

So does the one extra turn have to be this turn or does it work more like you get two shots through out the game of you are a valiant hero.
 
Re: The Book of Glyph of Utility: Bat-Rope (FE)

I believe it's intended to be an immediate additional use.
 
Re: The Book of Glyph of Utility: Bat-Rope (FE)

Cards up now. I found a nice batarang to use.
 
Re: The Book of Glyph of Utility: Bat-Rope (FE)

My suggestion is to flip the batarang upside down and connect the rope at the tail of the bat. In practical use, the wings of the bat act as grappling hooks, which would never work if the rope is off center.

I do like the sound of that. Any chance you could give it a shot, Scapey?

(Hate to ask for too many updates after giving you four cards to work on here!)

Let's send the Bat-Rope On Deck.

Repositioning made a world of difference. :up: Looks great!
 
Re: The Book of Glyph of Utility: Bat-Rope (FE)

If this is true:
So does the one extra turn have to be this turn or does it work more like you get two shots through out the game of you are a valiant hero.

I believe it's intended to be an immediate additional use.
Then I feel we should make this change to clarify:
... After using this special power, if this figure is a Valiant Crime Fighter, it may immediate use this special power one additional time.

Glyph Sticker PDF problem here as well.
 
It's not unclear as is, but I feel the immediately makes it more clear. If others don't feel it's necessary though, then we'll leave it.
 
My usual preference is to not use 'immediately' where it isn't really needed - it has a specific purpose (pre-empting other powers that have the same timing), and I don't like muddying that or making it harder to do because we've got things happening immediately when they don't really need to happen immediately.

I feel like the wording is close enough to Web Swing and similar "you can use this thing twice in a row" type powers that it's fine. :2cents:
 
It is not clear - but can the space be on the other side of an obstacle or above you on an overhang?
