_________________________________________________________________
Character Bio - Powered by stolen Kryptonian technology, Lex Luthor's Battle Suit is designed to give any mortal the abilities of flight, speed, super strength, and incredible defensive capabilities, making the wearer almost as powerful as a Kryptonian. With a bruised ego and a score to settle, Lex is obsessed with bringing the Last Son of Krypton to his knees with the power of his own ancestors technology. Stored away within the suit itself, the main power source happens to be Superman's greatest weakness... Kryptonite!

Re: The Book of Lex Luthor

NAME = LEX LUTHOR


SPECIES = HUMAN
UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO
CLASS = CRIMINAL
PERSONALITY = TREACHEROUS

SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5

LIFE = 4

MOVE = 7
RANGE = 5
ATTACK = 4
DEFENSE = 7

POINTS = 280

KRYPTONITE BLAST SPECIAL ATTACK
Range 4. Attack 3.
Choose a figure to attack. Any figures adjacent to the chosen figure are also affected by Kryptonite Blast Special Attack. Roll 3 attack dice for all affected figures. Each figure rolls defense dice separately. Kryptonian figures roll 3 fewer defense dice against Kryptonite Blast Special Attack. Lex Luthor cannot be affected by his own Kryptonite Blast Special Attack.

KRYPTONIAN ARMOR
When rolling defense against a normal attack, you may count one blank rolled as an extra shield.

TREACHEROUS TACTICS
Anytime Lex Luthor would receive one or more wounds, you may instead destroy any figure adjacent to Lex Luthor that you permanently control.

SUPER STRENGTH

FLYING

Re: The Book of Lex Luthor

I love this one Griff. :thumbsup: I think this is your best design yet. Full of themey flavour & enriching the gameplay. Love it.

I don't mind the sacrificing another figure you control part of him. As it's just another thematic way he dodges a bullet.

Cheers
 
Re: The Book of Lex Luthor

I'm not too familiar with the suit, but based on the bio you posted it seems to give the wearer the abilities and strength of Superman. If that's true, shouldn't he be up in the Superman point range, or at least a little closer?
 
Re: The Book of Lex Luthor

I think anything over 320 would be too much. I think 260 is a fine starting point, though. He's basically just a human in a suit (like Iron Man).
I think this comic pic better fits our previous designs:

Or maybe this one ... :p

Re: The Book of Lex Luthor

Okay, so the suit doesn't actually give him all the abilities and power of Superman then?
 
Re: The Book of Lex Luthor

I didn't think it was exactly like that, no ... but I think Griff should field this one. He's the uber-Super-geek among us. :)
 
Re: The Book of Lex Luthor

Well, I have no clue. But if he's more like Iron Man, then perhaps the bio should be revised. From my uneducated perspective, that bio makes him sounds a lot more powerful than Iron Man.
 
Re: The Book of Lex Luthor

He's not quite fully hitting Superman speed, defensive capabilities, or overall strength, is he? An approximation, though, perhaps.

Essentially, this version of Lex is basically a thug in a suit that utilizes some stolen Kryptonian tech. The suit would be about on par with Iron Man Mark III. Really, the suit just gives him flight (sub-sonic speed, so not too fast), super strength, better than average armor (definitely not on Supes' level though), some mid range projectiles, and a short wave of Green-K radiation.

Looks pretty cool Griff. :thumbsup:

I like the Kryptonite Blast affecting Kryptonians that way.

Kryptonian Armor will help him to toe to toe with Supes for a while anyway while blasting him with the Kryptonite Blast. I'll have to look back now to see how the Green Kryptonite glyph works and how that will work with this Lex against Supes. I guess the only thing about this power is that it essentially gives him an auto-shield much of the time with a defense of 7 vs. non-Kryptonians, almost like a defense of 10. That's kind of in the upper levels so far and pretty close to Superman level compared to others like Iron Man who should have every tech for armor available as Lex. Though, he's not offensively huge, so at least he wouldn't be blowing everyone away while being Super Stout defensively.

As for Treacherous Tactics, you can draft a boat load of Rats, Civies, Moloids etc. and as Aldin said about Madame Hydra, Hulk or any other big hitter would never be able to hurt him. I'm just echoing a response I had to hear about that forced me to limit it to Terrorists and Criminals though it should absolutely never have been that way, as she'd sooner let a kid die next to her than let herself get killed. I'm not sure how this would be different, and he has that huge defense to boot. None of the other heroes were for the "give wounds/kill any adjacent figure instead of taking wounds" deal before, so I don't know if they have changed their mind.

Well you had to deal with that more than anyone, so how do you feel? Do you think we should restrict the killed class to criminal or something like that?

Wow, glad you like it. :D I was worried that it may be too bland, as the SA is really just a small explosion that cripples K-people.

If you have any suggestions to make it better, let me know. This will likely be the most expensive Lex ever made (the scientist Lex will fall between this one and the business suit), so he should have some power.


Thanks for all the help guys. :)
 
Re: The Book of Lex Luthor

No response to my comment on the comic art? I mean, I like the picture you have up too, but it's video game art, and you can tell. It doesn't match the style of other stuff we've done as much as what I posted does.

I think that pic is awesome! If Gr3ny can take some live pics of thugs and make em look like comics, hopefully they can do the same thing here. That is the best pic of Battlesuit Lex I have ever found.
 
Re: The Book of Lex Luthor

I'd have to see it. I think the other option is better, though, and it very nicely complements the Batman and Superman comic art we chose way back when. :)

What other option are you talking about? Did you post a picture somewhere?

Re: The Book of Lex Luthor

That was odd, I saw it for a second and now it is gone again. :? I went into your post and drew the address out.

Well just because Madame Hydra got hosed, doesn't mean Lex should IMO. I just didn't know how others felt, or if they felt it was iconic enough for him to to kill anyone on his team or limit it to a class. You know the character best, so if it's thematic and you feel it's right for him to have free reign on killing to save his butt, then I'll support that. I'd at least see how it went during initial playtesting with certain specific tests before I'd automatically discount it.
 
Re: The Book of Lex Luthor

Luthor's in a much higher price range and doesn't have a squad bonding with him. :p I think it'll be OK.

Okay, then in that case the design looks good. I think the bio should change, because it really makes it sound like he's on Superman's level.
 
Re: The Book of Lex Luthor

I usually don't give the Bios that much care, so tell me if this is OK:

Character Bio - Powered by stolen Kryptonian technology, Lex Luthor's Battle Suit is designed to give any mortal the abilities of flight, speed, super strength, incredible defensive capabilities, making the wearer almost as powerful as a Kryptonian. With a bruised ego and a score to settle, Lex is obsessed with bringing the Last Son of Krypton to his knees with the power of his own ancestors technology. Stored away within the suit itself, the main power source happens to be Superman's greatest weakness... Kryptonite!
 
Re: The Book of Lex Luthor

Yeah, that'll work. And it just says "a Kryptonian," which is a large range, not Superman (who's the best of the Kryptonians). :)
