_________________________________________________________________​

Character Bio - Possibly Professor X's most beloved of all of his X-Men, Jean Grey has shared her most intimate thoughts and life experiances with her dear professor. Like Professor X, Jean Grey has Mutant DNA that allow her to utilize the power of Telepathy. Although her Telepathy has been partially restricted with mental blocks by the Professor, Jean has also learned to control her inner ability of Telekinesis. What Jean can do, is still not as important as who she is. Jean is the most loving and compassionate of the X-Men. She was brought into the X Mansion at a very young age, and has encountered hundreds of different people with special needs and powers over the years, but her most important encounter was with that of her husband Scott Summers, also known as Cyclops.

Re: Jean Grey C3G X-Men Master Set

NAME = JEAN GREY


SPECIES = MUTANT
UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO
CLASS = TELEPATH
PERSONALITY = MERCIFUL

SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5

LIFE = 4

MOVE = 5
RANGE = 4
ATTACK = 4
DEFENSE = 5

POINTS = 180

TELEKINESIS 12
After moving and before attacking, you may choose either Jean Grey or a small or medium figure within 4 clear sight spaces of Jean Grey. Roll the 20-sided die. Add 1 to the roll for each Telepath you control adjacent to Jean Grey. If you roll 12 or higher, you may place the chosen figure on any empty space within 4 spaces of its original placement. After the figure is placed, you may roll the 20-sided die for damage. If you roll 11 or higher, the figure receives 1 wound. Chosen figures do not take any leaving engagement attacks.

PSIONIC GRIP 12
Any time an opponent would begin the movement of Jean Grey or a figure within 4 clear sight spaces of Jean Grey, you may first roll the 20-sided die. Add 1 to the roll for each Telepath you control adjacent to Jean Grey. If you roll 12 or higher, the figure may not be moved.

SUPER STRENGTH






Obviously we're waiting on Dark Phoenix for now, so I'm moving that into a spoiler.
What are our thoughts on cost here? Do we like where the powers are at? We need a comic picture as well before we can move to playtesting with this one.
 
Re: Jean Grey C3G X-Men Master Set

Everything is in the first post, so this post wasn't necessary any longer.
 
Re: Jean Grey C3G X-Men Master Set

All right - how are we feeling about the power selections, stats, points, and left box here, folks?
We also need to get some comic art up for her.
 
Re: Jean Grey C3G X-Men Master Set

Number 7 is no go for me.
After that, here's my rankings:

5
1
6
2
3
4

Really, though, #5 is the clear cut best for me there.

I think you are right actually.. surprise there.:p I am good with 5 as the best option. Looking forward to some other input though.
 
Re: Jean Grey C3G X-Men Master Set

It's big, it's colorful, the costume is right, the pose really captures what we're going for in terms of powers, and there's no distracting background.
 
Re: Jean Grey C3G X-Men Master Set

Ask yourself this question, can you see room for a more powerful combination telepath/telekinetic? If the answer is yes, then she probably isn't ready yet. If the answer is no, then she is ready to move to playtesting.

I don't think the question is "can I see room for a more powerful telepath/telekinetic?", because it would obviously be yes. Just like I could see a more powerful Thanos, Superman, Hulk, Magneto, etc... For me, the question is "should we make her a more powerful telepath/telekinetic?" and on that, I am not sure. I figure that we could adjust those D20 powers in the playtesting.

So really what we should be asking is, "do we like these two powers and stats as icon representations of this character?" for me it is yes.:D
 
Re: Jean Grey C3G X-Men Master Set

I now have a Jean Card up on the first page, two or three posts down.
 
Re: Jean Grey C3G X-Men Master Set

Purdy. Though we were going to let GO put all of these on cards, though?
Also, seeing it on a card, is the amount of text in these powers going to be problematic? It's at least certainly a good thing we dropped the third power!

I figured that since I got my computer back up and running, I would do some art, even though it is going to be redone later by GO. Also, the text is still less than Catwoman's I think, but I am sure GO can fit the text as it is currently written. But you are right, it is good that the third power is gone!
Do you think that our bases are covered on this card, at least enough to play-test?
 
Re: Jean Grey C3G X-Men Master Set

Oh, as much as I like the flavor of the "+1 to whatever is rolled for Telepaths adjacent..", I could see letting one of the two or both of them go if we needed room on the card.
 
Re: Jean Grey C3G X-Men Master Set

I think we need to figure out the same thing about DOs in this power as we do in Magneto's. Are we going to address that in the Throw powers (that they can throw DOs) or in the special rules set?
i.e. Do we want them to be able to throw small or medium DOs without needing the optional rules addition to be in play?
 
Re: Jean Grey C3G X-Men Master Set

What if Dos had a Super Strength Symbol on them to signify the requirement of the Hero to throw them, that way Jean could throw DOs that "do not have the Super Strength Symbol on the card", where as Mags could (if he has super Strength).
 
Re: Jean Grey C3G X-Men Master Set

That's a possibility for the additional rules set (can't remember if I put that on there or not). But if, for instance, a fire hydrant requires superstrength to pick up (because you'd have to tear it out of the ground) is that really something Jean couldn't do?
I think if it's restricted to "small or medium figures or destructible objects" for their throws, then we can easily cover it so even if you're not using the DO optional rules they can toss, for instance, a barrel at another figure. They can toss them in a way that does damage thanks to the collision damage inclusions (if we go that way for both cards). And this way we won't have to figure out how to include throwing powers in the optional rules.
This way we could also incorporate use for Jean's Psionic Grip power within the regular game when it comes to DOs.
 
Re: Jean Grey C3G X-Men Master Set

Just remember to maintain the text version. It's a lot easier for me to work off that because I can copy and paste your text. If all I have is the card, I have to retype everything...
 
Re: Jean Grey C3G X-Men Master Set

Yes, please, what he said. :)

Ah, gotcha. I will make sure I post the appropriate words and pic for ya.
 
Re: Jean Grey C3G X-Men Master Set

Jean Grey was a hard figure to choose a background for, I didn't even know where to begin.

Also she won't have an alternate name will she?

Re: Jean Grey C3G X-Men Master Set

Psychadelic!
And no, no alternate name unless we want to call her Marvel Girl and make Jean Grey the subtitle ... but I think just Jean Grey might be the better approach.
