Yea

Pretty sure we're planning to do him, Hawkman, and Power Girl in the Danger Room. And things are clear there right now, so we just need the votes to go through.

Yep, the plan is to send all three of them out as a playtesting round, and repost most or all of the finished JSA with them.

Re: The Book of Mister Terrific - Terry Sloane(Playtesting)

Are the points correct in the SP? It still has a question mark listed, and I wanted to make sure we had the right cost when we post him to the Danger Room.

Re: The Book of Mister Terrific - Terry Sloane(Playtesting)

Yes. I like to leave the question mark till it hits final editing as that is when it is set in stone so to speak.

[FONT=&quot]Map: [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Custom (HYDRA GEHENNA BASE with 2 small houses instead of platforms)[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Units:[/FONT][FONT=&quot] Mister Terrific (Terry Sloan) (140), Hawkman (Carter Hall) (220), Starman (Ted Knight) (190), Flash (Jay Garrick) (220), Doctor Mid-Nite (150), Sandman (Wesley Dodds) (80) (1,000) VSFantastic Four (1,000) [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
Damage Done: 5 Wounds to Invisible Woman.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
When they were KO’d: N/A [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
Man of a Thousand Talents: Used in Round 1 to move Mister Terrific up 4 spaces, then to give a +1 to Gravity Rod. In Round 2 and 3, Sandman advances 4 spaces each. Nets three extra skulls in Round 3 attacks on Invisible Woman. Nets two extra shields in Round 3 and 4 each to defend Thing’s attacks. Nets one extra shield in Round 5 to defend Thing’s attack. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
Champion of All Things Fair: During Round 1, this was used to help spare Starman from an early wound when he whiffed on an attack from Human Torch. In Round 2, it grants a reroll to Flash, but the second roll is poor as well. Round 4, helps Hawkman avoid 2 wounds.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
Mister Terrific shone here, especially with his rerolls letting him act as a meat shield while the rest of the JSA circled around, strategically moving figures and then picking them off. Champion of All Things Fair saved allies from three wounds, which helped keep the whole team together more effectively. The combination of Hawkman and Mister Terrific really brings this faction together powerfully.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The dice seemed to slightly favor the JSA overall here and the Fan Four is the type of team that if they lose a key piece early, they tend to lose big, but Mister Terrific felt a tad undercosted for how well he performed here.[/FONT]

Spoiler Alert!

[FONT=&quot]ROUND ONE: Fan Four rolled well, holing up in one house with Thing and Mister Fantastic covering two entrances and Invisible Woman using sight lines through the windows to provide her boost as Human Torch advance scouts and attacks Starman (he would’ve scored a wound were it not for Champion of All Things Fair).
[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]The JSA led with Hawkman taking height, Starman moving up, and then an “X” marker uber turn to round it out thanks to Golden Age Heroism, in which Starman (boosted by Man of a Thousand Talents) tries and fails to fling a rock tile at Human Torch, then flies to height, Flash runs through Mister Terrific and Human Torch, swapping their positions, and Sandman runs around behind Hawkman to get ready for the next round.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]ROUND TWO: JSA gets initiative. Doctor Mid-Nite moves up next to Hawkman and Sandman and places a Blackout Bomb to help their defenses. Flash runs into the house, swapping Invisible Woman and Mister Terrific, so Flash and Mr. T. are in the house with Thing and Mister Fantastic, and Invisible Woman is out in the open. Then Sandman fires off his Sleeping Gas, hoping to trap Invisible Woman on the spot. [/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Invisible Woman, unshaken by the gas, flies back to the doorway next to Mister Fantastic (still outside the door, but protected on one side at least) and Mister Fantastic socks the Rubber Wrapped Flash for two quick wounds. Hawkman tags Human Torch for one wound. Thing swings at Flash (4 skulls), but the speedster dodges with ease. Human Torch goes Supernova, rolling miserably (2 skulls), but still hits Sandman and Doctor Mid-Nite for one wound each (Hawkman is not scathed). Mister Fantastic can’t hit Flash (who’s rolling like a champ) either.[/FONT][FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Hawkman takes advantage of his high ground and KO’s Human Torch. Thing pummels Flash, KOing him, despite a reroll granted by Champion of All Things Fair. Mister Fantastic attacks Mister Terrific, but can’t land a blow. [/FONT][FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]ROUND THREE: Mister Fantastic goes first, but Man of a Thousand Talents grants a move to Sandman so that he is right outside the house now. Invisible Woman disengages from him and flies inside, hitting Mister Terrific for his first wound. Thing fails to hit Mr. T., but Mr. Fantastic lands a second wound on him. [/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Then Mister Terrific switches to his reroll power as Hawkman activates, shedding OM3 for some double turns. Hawkman flies next to the house, but can’t attack yet. He has Mister Terrific go, and thanks to the attack boost and the reroll (each of which accounted for an extra skull), Mr. T. lands two wounds on Invisible Woman.[/FONT][FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Mister Fantastic rolls terribly, but takes things into his own hands, leaving the house to tie up Sandman and Hawkman, and hitting Sandman for a second and third wound. Hawkman charges through Invisible Woman’s aura to hit Mister Fantastic for one wound. Mister Terrific KO’s Invisible Woman thanks to the reroll netting 2 extra skulls (for a total of 4). Thing, with a +1 for Clobberin’ Time, tries and fails to hit Mister Terrific (2 extra shields on the reroll), then Mister Fantastic KO’s Sandman.[/FONT][FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]ROUND FOUR: Hawkman activates Golden Age Heroism by burning OM3. Starman, on height, throws a rock hex at Mister Fantastic, but can’t wound him. Neither can Starman’s attack, on height, boosted by Golden Age Heroism. Then Starman puts a star marker on Mister Fantastic and Hawkman’s boosted attack breaks through Mister Fantastic’s weakened defenses for one wound. [/FONT][FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]A highly peeved Thing swings at Mister Terrific, whose Thousand Talents let him get 2 extra shields on the reroll, saving him again. He takes one wound and is down to one life. Mister Fantastic, weakened by the Star Marker, attacks Hawkman, who whiffs, but is saved by Champion of All Things Fair, and ends up taking only one wound instead of three. [/FONT][FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Starman throws a rock tile at Mister Fantastic, failing to wound him, then hits Mister Fantastic from range and height with Golden Age Heroism boosted him, landing three wounds to finish Mister Fantastic, wiping out OM2 and OM3 from the Fan Four. Ouch! [/FONT][FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Then Starman puts a Star Marker on Thing and Hawkman flies inside and attacks Thing, landing four wounds on the weakened Adventurer.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]ROUND FIVE: Thing, on his own, smacks Hawkman for one wound. Hawkman sheds the “X” marker for Golden Age Heroism and Starman fails to throw Thing with Gravity Rod, but does put a Star Marker on him, Hawkman takes a wound from disengaging with Thing, then Doctor Mid-Nite moves up, placing a Blackout Bomb to protect Hawkman, Starman, and himself, then using Physician 16 to remove 2 wounds from Hawkman. [/FONT][FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Thing can’t land a hit on Mister Terrific. Hawkman flies back into the house and lands a fifth wound on Thing. Weakened Thing rolls 3 skulls against Mister Terrific, whose reroll gives him one extra shield to block. Starman finishes Thing with an attack from height.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Mister Terrific with 1 Life, Hawkman with 4 Lives, Doctor Mid-Nite with 3 Lives, and Starman with Full Life win Turn 6, Round 5.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]
Damage Done: 2 Wounds on Angel, 1 Wound on Jean Grey.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
When they were KO’d: End of the game [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
Man of a Thousand Talents: Used at the start of Rounds 2 and 3 to advance Hawkman 4 spaces. Used frequently for attack and defense rerolls. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
Champion of All Things Fair: Saves Doctor Mid-Nite from a wound in Round 3, and Flash from a wound in Round 4.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
Summary of the game:[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]This was a solid match up. Losing Starman early really hurt the JSA, but they battled back, thanks largely to the contributions of Mister Terrific, Hawkman, and Flash, who each empowered each other well. Sandman had two key Sleeping Gas turn losses for Prof X. as well, but the synergy of the X-Men just couldn’t be held down, with Jean and Angel keeping Prof X. alive to the end.[/FONT]

Spoiler Alert!

[FONT=&quot]ROUND ONE: Prof X moves up Jean Grey, who pulls Beast next to her, then Cyclops runs alongside her. Mister Terrific moves into the house, priming his Thousand Talents to protect him with rerolls as necessary. Angel flies Professor X into the center of the other house and Iceman trails behind to block the back door. Now only a workaround through the side door on the far end of the house will allow someone to engage Prof X. Starman flies into the house beside Mister Terrific, but fails to use his Gravity Rod to pull Flash along with him. [/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Cyclops uses his Optic Blast to fire at Mister Terrific through a window (rendering his Thousand Talents meaningless with the special attack) but rolls poorly and Mr. T. blocks. Jean then spots Starman through an uncurtained window, uses her telekinesis to rip him through the glass, landing one wound, then blasts him for three more wounds (he rolls one shield, so Champion of All Things Fair doesn’t kick in). This early death for Starman is a killer, as he probably benefits from Golden Age Heroism more than anyone.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Still, Hawkman goes, activating Golden Age Heroism with the “X,” and sending Flash through Jean Grey and Mister Terrific to swap them (Psionic Grip fails), and sending Sandman and Doctor Mid-Nite into the house with Jean (but since it’s the end of the round and there are no wounded Mystery Men, there’s no point in using Blackout Bombs, Physician 16, or Sleeping Gas Gun).[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]ROUND TWO: Prof X goes first and Thousand Talents moves Hawkman along the back of the house with Jean and the Mystery Men in it. Beast moves up and attacks both Mister Terrific (one wound despite Inspiring Speedster) and Flash (no need for Champion of All Things Fair). Jean throws Sandman for one wound, but can’t hit him with her attack. [/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Hawkman sheds the “X” for Golden Age Heroism and sends Flash to swap Beast and Professor X, sends Doctor Mid-Nite to drop a Blackout Bomb where it protects Angel, Flash, and Mister Terrific, then use Physician to cute Mister Terrific of a wound, and have Sandman get caught up in Psionic Grip so he can’t move, and get stuck shooting his Sleeping Gas so that it affects Doctor Mid-Nite, Flash, Mister Terrific, Professor X, and Cyclops. Mister Terrific’s Thousand Talents lets Hawkman advance 4 spaces. Then Professor X has his turn cancelled due to Sleeping Gas. [/FONT][FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Mister Terrific switches to rerolls and Hawkman flies next to Prof X, who cancels his attack with Psychic Defense X. Then Prof X again succumbs to sleeping gas! Hawkman finishes the round by rolling a terrible failed attack on Prof X. [/FONT][FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]ROUND THREE: Hawkman starts it off, shedding OM3 to activate Golden Age Heroism. He attacks Cyclops for one quick wound, then has a beefed up Mister Terrific reroll his way into 5 skulls against Prof X, who sheds his X Marker for Psychic Defense X. Prof X calls over Angel, who fails an attack against Mister Terrific even without a reroll. Cyclops avoids a swipe from Hawkman and lines up an Optic Blast that hits Doctor Mid-Nite for one wound (would’ve been two if not for Champion of All Things Fair) and can’t hit Mister Terrific or Angel.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Hawkman targets Professor X, landing two solid wounds on the X-Men leader. Angel responds promptly, moving Prof X back into the house.
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Then Doctor Mid-Nite throws a Blackout Bomb where it protects Flash, Mister Terrific, Hawkman, and himself, and hits Cyclops for a second and third wound. [/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Professor X has Cyclops level an Optic Blast at Doctor Mid-Nite and Mister Terrific, but the Inspiring Speedster/Blackout Bomb combo keeps them both safe. Then Jean throws Sandman for a wound, but can’t hit him for any more (hot D20, cold combat dice).[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Hawkman surprises Jean by flying around the corner of the house and knocks the snot out of Cyclops, KOing him. Sandman shoots sleeping gas in the house with Jean, but can’t hit her. Prof X finishes the round by sending Beast after Flash and Mister Terrific (he can’t hit either), and having Jean fight off sleep, fail her throw, but then at least hit Sandman for a third wound.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]ROUND FOUR: Big initiative roll here, which goes to the X-Men. Jean KO’s Sandman. Beast tags Mister Terrific for two wounds (rerolls are no help), Doctor Mid-Nite for one, and Hawkman for none. [/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Hawkman sheds the “X” and sends Doctor Mid-Nite to drop his last Blackout Bomb where it’ll help him and Hawkman, then use Physician to heal one wound (almost two!) off of Mister Terrific, then send Flash to switch Mister Terrific with Prof X in the house, then try and fail to move himself closer to Prof X (Psionic Grip preventing him). [/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Prof X has Beast KO Doctor Mid-Nite, but fail to hit Hawkman. Jean comes out of the house to help tie down Hawkman, but can’t wound him. Hawkman breaks through Psionic Grip, takes a swipe from Jean, but then only rolls one skull on Prof X, which the Professor blocks. Prof X has Jean toss Hawkman for a second wound (her attack on him fails), then has [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
Iceman attack Flash, wherein Flash whiffs but Champion of All Things Fair helps save him from one wound.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Mister Terrific hits Angel for 2 wounds (thanks to two extra skulls from rerolls), but Angel flies out of the house and moves Professor X to a safe spot.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]ROUND FIVE: Hawkman sheds the OM3 for double turns, fails an attack on Jean, then has Flash swap Mister Terrific and Angel, sending Angel back to the house, and having him and Mister Terrific engage Prof X. Prof X. has Jean hit Hawkman for a third wound (her throw failed, but her attack landed despite Flash and Mister Terrific being close enough to help), then has Angel fly over (Angel then whiffs an attack on Flash). [/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Hawkman fails to hit Jean for any wounds, but Flash tags her for three. Prof X. has Beast come over, and he fails to hit Flash, but does KO Hawkman. Then Jean hits Flash for 2 wounds (nothing like accidentally rolling the first six dice first, whiffing, and praying the last one will be a skull so you can reroll, only to see it turn shield!). The extra turn for the X-Men can’t net them any more wounds on Flash.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]ROUND SIX: Flash starts it off with a big 5 skull attack roll from height that KOs Angel. Prof X. has Jean and Beast both try and fail to hit Mister Terrific (rerolls helped) and Flash. Jean does manage to put Mister Terrific on height disadvantage to Beast, though. [/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Mister Terrific goes next, using his rerolls to intimidate Prof X. into shedding the “X” marker. Prof X. has Beast KO Flash, then rerolls save Mister Terrific from taking any wounds from Beast or Jean, but Jean does at least move Mister Terrific into engagement with her and away from the Prof.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Mister Terrific is stuck next to Jean thanks to Psionic Grip and KOs her. Prof X. sends Iceman out from the house (no luck) and follows with Beast on height (this time rerolls can’t save Mister Terrific). Beast KO’s Mr. T. to end it.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Professor X with 2 Life, and Iceman and Beast with Full Life win Turn 5, Round 6.[/FONT]

Re: The Book of Mister Terrific - Terry Sloane(Playtesting)

I agree with, a slight cost increase. Do you think 10 or 20 would be better here?

 

[IAmBatman]

Re: The Book of Mister Terrific - Terry Sloane(Playtesting)

Give me until Friday and I'll run a couple more to have a better idea. Hopefully we can get someone else's test in that time too to help.

 

[TrollBrute]

Re: The Book of Mister Terrific - Terry Sloane(Playtesting)

The win against the FanFour is big, but they also lost to the Classic X-Men, which is not a super strong team, so I'm not very worried. 150 wouldn't be out of place here though.

GAME SUMMARY:
Both teams managed to get set-up on top of the castle by the end of the first round. The JSA got initiative in the second round and Hawkman burned the X, allowing Sandman, Starman, Doctor Mid-Nite, and Flash to do their thing. A combination of Star markers, the Sleeping Gas, and a Blackout Bomb kept what the Titans could do that round to a minimum, and over a couple of turns Hawkman and his buddies managed to get in and take down Starfire. After that the JSA started to struggle, and Hawkman went down in the fourth round with an OM still on his card. Sandman went down in the fifth round, and both Flash and Starman went down in the sixth without doing much damage. Mister Terrific put up a solid fight but didn’t last long.

Mister Terrific and Jay both went down in the fourth round, but Hawkman got revenge by taking down Martian Manhunter in the fifth. With Flash continuing on a cold streak, the JLA shifted their OMs to the Vigilantes, who began working their way steadily through the JSA.

THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT'S COST, BALANCE, & DRAFTABILITY: 140 seems reasonable for Mister Terrific. His boosts are nice and he has solid offense for his cost, but he’s not very tough and it’s hard to keep him up with the team.

GENERAL THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT: To be honest, I’m not completely satisfied with the current write-up. Individually, the effects of Man of a Thousand Talents are thematic and useful, but the only-one-effect-at-a-time mechanic doesn’t feel thematic and kind of bogs down the game; it adds a lot to keep track of and adds time to the start of your turns (as you have to plan out your turns in advance). Personally, I’d rather see the design simplified by making all of the effects active the whole game, and just bump his cost if necessary. My .

Re: The Book of Mister Terrific - Terry Sloane(Playtesting)

I did find tracking/planning which to use pretty tricky as well. Especially with the free movement one having other restrictions, it got confusing at times. I rarely used the D20 boost due to the rerolls being so useful. The free movement I used early, but toggling between that and the rerolls was tough.

In my experience, though, the rerolls made him a tough out and were really useful. Making them on all the time will definitely bump his cost. I'm cool with that, though.

If it's posted and I missed it then just update the OP otherwise we probably should post a request for this mini as well.

Re: The Book of Mister Terrific - Terry Sloane(Playtesting)

Since the design itself is a tad up in the air right now based on Viegon's suggestions, I'm going to hold off on any more testing here and focus on Power Girl tomorrow instead (if I even have a chance to test!).

[FONT=&quot]
When they were KO’d: End of the game [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
Man of a Thousand Talents: Round 1: Adds +1 to Gravity Rod to help it hit, and move a hex (no wounds caused). Round 3: Gives Sandman a free move of 4, gives Mister Terrific an extra skull on a reroll. Round 4: Gives Starman a free move of 4. Round 5: Gives Starman a free move of 4. Round 6: Gives Mister Terrific 2 extra skulls on reroll and a bonus move of 4 that he used to reclaim the Cosmic Converter Belt, then another bonus move to climb back onto even height with an enemy. Round 7: Gives Mister Terrific a bonus move to move away from Martian Manhunter (who had height), then another bonus move to reclaim the Cosmic Converter Belt. Round 8: Gives Mr. T. a bonus move away from Black Canary to avoid giving her height, then an extra skull on BC in a reroll, then two more extra skulls on BC on rerolls. Round 9: Gives Mr. T. 3 extra skulls on a reroll on BC, and an extra shield on a defensive reroll. Gives him 2 extra skulls on a reroll on Vixen.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
Champion of All Things Fair: Used in Round 6 to give Starman a reroll, but Starman was still KOed. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
Summary of the game: Mister Terrific helps some in mid-game, but as soon as Hawkman falls, while Superman and Martian Manhunter still stand strong, it’s over. Mister Terrific helps make it close in clean up, where those rerolls really shine. [/FONT]

Spoiler Alert!

[FONT=&quot]ROUND ONE: Huntress moves through the white house to the entrance closest to the enemy. Green Lantern flies into the middle of the blue house. Batgirl flanks Huntress just outside the door of the white house. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Hawkman sheds the “X” marker and sends Superman and Mister Terrific forward, then moves Starman whose Gravity Rod moves a stone hex up (thanks to Mister T’s D20 boost), and then Flash runs on top of the newly placed hex. Starman also places a Star Marker on Batgirl.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Martian Manhunter sheds a marker for a double turn with Huntress and Batgirl. Huntress parks two spaces from Flash and fires with her Crossbow, hitting him once. Batgirl follows, recklessly advancing due to her Vigilante Rivalry, but Flash defends well and hits her for one wound. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Kal-L rounds things out, targeting Batgirl for an attack, but Superman sheds a marker to have Huntress save Batgirl, and Kal-L ends up taking FOUR wounds from Ruthless Counterstrike![/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
ROUND TWO: Hawkman leads off, shedding OM3 for Golden Age Heroism. Hawkman advances, just out of the scrum, then Kal-L hits Huntress for four quick wounds to KO her. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Martian Manhunter sheds another marker, then flies in himself and KO’s Flash with a 5 skull attack. Then Martian Manhunter has Kal-El fly in and attack Kal-L, but the former cannot wound the latter.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Hawkman flies onto height and hits Kal-El for one wound (both of Kal-El’s remaining blanks hit as shields). Then Hawkman has Kal-L attack his Super counterpart, but the Kryptonian can’t score a hit.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Kal-El goes next, and lands the last two wounds on Kal-L. Ouch. Then Kal-El rounds it out, failing an attack on Hawkman.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
ROUND THREE: Mister Terrific chooses Martian Manhunter for Man of a Thousand Talents. He has Sandman advance when MM goes first for the round. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Martian Manhunter sheds a marker for a double turn with him and Superman. They both target Hawkman, and Superman lands 2 wounds. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Hawkman sheds the “X” and has Sandman circle around and place his Sleeping Gas where only Martian Manhunter, Superman, or Batgirl would be affected (the bonus move from Mr. T. was huge in making this placement), Starman hits his Gravity Rod roll and throws a hex at Martian Manhunter, wounding him, Green Lantern flies onto that hex, and Mister Terrific joins the scrum. Starman also places a Star Marker on Superman.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Superman hits a 4 and the Sleeping Gas prevents his turn. Hawkman targets Martian Manhunter, but Superman sheds a marker and blocks the attack. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Superman shakes off the Sleeping Gas and rolls a terrible attack on Hawkman, which is easily blocked. Mister Terrific engages Superman, but can’t hit him, even with a reroll giving him an extra skull.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
ROUND FOUR: Mister Terrific picks Martian Manhunter again. Hawkman sheds OM3, then tries and fails to hit Superman with a beefed up attack. Then Sandman circles around, engaging all three foes and placing the Sleeping Gas perfectly to affect only them, and then whiffs a beefed up attack on Batgirl. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Martian Manhunter goes next, which triggers a free four space movement for Starman onto height. Before MM can shed a marker, he succumbs to the Sleeping Gas (roll of 6). Hawkman goes next, hitting Supes for two wounds from height. Then GL, also on height, sheds his Boxing Glove and hits Superman for 3 wounds, taking him down to 1 life.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Supes takes a double turn then, rolling poorly for his attacks, but managing to tag Hawkman for a third wound.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
ROUND FIVE:[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Mister Terrific picks Martian Manhunter, and when MM starts the round, he has Starman move 4 spaces for free. Martian Manhunter doesn’t have any gas to worry about yet, so he sheds a marker for a double turn with Supes. Martian Manhunter KOs Hawkman, taking out OM1, OM3, and the “X,” then Supes hits Sandman for one wound.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Martian Manhunter goes next, and hits Starman for one wound. Green Lantern goes, but he can’t finish Supes from height. Martian Manhunter rounds it out, but he can’t hit Starman.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
ROUND SIX: [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Martian goes, with Mister Terrific not bothering with the free move, MM sheds a marker, and has a double turn with Supes. Martian Manhunter does two wounds on Starman, taking him down to 1 life. Supes does a second wound to Sandman.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Sandman goes, placing his Sleeping Gas, then fails an attack on Superman. Martian Manhunter succumbs to sleep and misses a turn.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Mister Terrific KO’s Superman, thanks to rerolling two dice for skulls. Martian Manhunter goes next, Mister Terrific uses a bonus move to go reclaim the Cosmic Converter Belt, then MM shakes off the Sleeping Gas and KO’s Starman despite a reroll granted by Mister T. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Green Lantern fails an attack on Martian Manhunter, then Martian Manhunter, still weakened by the Sleeping Gas, KO’s Sandman. (Mister Terrific used another free move to climb back onto even height with Batgirl).[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
ROUND SEVEN:[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Mister Terrific engages Martian Manhunter to place a Star Marker, then fails an attack on Batgirl. Martian Manhunter goes, and Mister Terrific uses his bonus move to disengage, avoiding the swipe. Martian Manhunter sheds his last marker, moving up Black Canary, who screams at Mister Terrific and Batgirl, hitting Mister Terrific for one wound, and causing the Cosmic Converter Belt to go flying. Martian Manhunter attacks Green Lantern and scores one wound.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Mister Terrific KO’s Batgirl with a natural all skulls attack. Martian Manhunter goes, and Mister T. uses his bonus move to go reclaim the Cosmic Converter Belt. MM attacks Green Lantern, who sheds his Shield Marker, but still takes one wound. Green Lantern uses his turn to recharge.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Martian Manhunter ends the round by pegging Green Lantern for a third wound.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
ROUND EIGHT:[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Black Canary goes first, which causes Mister Terrific to flee using his bonus move (he takes a swipe and loses the Cosmic Converter Belt). BC chases him to use Fists of Fury, but Mr. T. at least avoided giving her height advantage. A reroll doesn’t produce any extra shields for Mr. T., so he takes one wound, but BC is held at a single attack.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Mister Terrific goes, and a reroll gives him an extra skull, which results in one wound on Black Canary.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Martian Manhunter attacks Green Lantern who, even with his Shield Marker helping, can’t save himself and is KOed. Martian Manhunter gets the next turn then (OM2 on GL) and attacks Mr. T. from height and range. Mister Terrific blocks without even needing a reroll.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Mister Terrific ends the round, hitting Black Canary for two more wounds (thanks to 2 skulls on a reroll).[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
ROUND NINE: Three extra skulls on a reroll are enough to finish Black Canary. Vixen, in Bear form, attacks Mr. T., but an extra shield on a reroll saves him. She does dump a Star Marker on him, though (the last one). Rerolling 2 skulls can’t land a hit on Vixen, then Martian Manhunter goes, and a reroll can’t get Mr. T. that last shield to block the attack. Mister Terrific falls and the game goes to the Justice League.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Martian Manhunter (II) with 6 Lives and Vixen with Full Life win Turn 4, Round 9.[/FONT]

Man of a Thousand Talents: Round 2, gives two bonus moves to Superman, and 1 bonus move to Hawkman. Round 3, gives a bonus move to Hawkman. Round 4, gives a bonus move to Starman and helps Gravity Rod hit, then gives himself a bonus move. Round 5, gives Green Lantern two bonus moves. Round 6, gives Sandman a bonus move, then gives Mister Terrific an extra skull on reroll to help him KO Surfer. Round 7, gives Green Lantern a bonus move. Round 8, he uses a bonus move to take height.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
Champion of All Things Fair: Helps Sandman avoid a wound in Round 2, and gives Sandman 2 extra shields late in the game, but can’t save him.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
Summary of the game: Losing four early turns to Sleeping Gas and then having another, weak turn due to rolling a 1 and a 4 on Fantastic Leader 4 crippled Mister Fantastic early on. This led to early deaths by Invisible Woman and Mister Fantastic, which hurt them immensely. Silver Surfer made things interesting mid-game, but the dice favored Mister Terrific over him. Human Torch got a strong enough Supernova to make it look close on paper in the end, but his team was beaten soundly here.[/FONT]

Spoiler Alert!

[FONT=&quot]ROUND ONE: [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Sandman advances. Mister Fantastic sends Wasp and Invisible Woman into the blue house, then joins them.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Hawkman sheds the “X” and sends Sandman out (who shoots Sleeping Gas into the blue house), sends Green Lantern, Mister Terrific, and Flash forward. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Mister Fantastic succumbs to Sleeping Gas and loses a turn. Green Lantern advances, shedding his Boxing Glove, and hitting Mister Fantastic (in Invisible Woman’s aura) for one wound.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Mister Fantastic loses another turn to Sleeping Gas![/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
ROUND TWO: Mister Terrific selects Mister Fantastic for Thousand Talents, now that he almost has Mister Fantastic in range for the bonus movements (7 spaces away at the start of the round). Mister Fantastic goes first, but he rolls a miserable 1 for Fantastic Leader 4. So Mister Fantastic leaves the blue house and locks down Green Lantern and Sandman, attacking Sandman. A reroll from Champion of All Things Fair prevents Sandman from taking a wound.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Hawkman sheds the “X” and Sandman lays down Sleeping Gas where it only affects Wasp, Invisible Woman, and Mister Fantastic, Green Lantern recharges his Boxing Glove, Flash repositions (Disorienting Whirlwind wasn’t going to work this turn), and Starman advances, failing his Gravity Rod roll even with Mister Terrific’s bonus, and puts a Star Marker on Mister Fantastic. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Mister Fantastic (horrible luck!) loses a third turn to Sleeping Gas! But Superman does get a bonus move of 4 to help him advance. Green Lantern goes next, shedding the Boxing Glove to land a second wound on Mister Fantastic.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Mister Fantastic goes next, giving Superman another bonus move, and Mister Fantastic shakes off the Sleeping Gas, then hits a 4 for Fantastic Leader 4, and sends Thing up for a 3 skull Clobberin’ Time attack on Flash (who has height and blocks it). Then Mister Fantastic fails an attack on Sandman.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Superman goes next, risking a swipe from Wasp (which didn’t land) and one-shotting Invisible Woman with an all-skulls attack![/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Mister Fantastic succumbs to the Sleeping Gas again![/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
ROUND THREE: Mister Fantastic goes first, getting a 9 for Fantastic Leader 4, and having Thing Clobber Flash for only one wound. (Hawkman gets in a bonus move thanks to Mister Terrific, and Green Lantern sheds his Cage marker to prevent Thing from taking even height with Flash). Mister Fantastic hits Sandman for a wound.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Hawkman sheds the “X” and Green Lantern recharges, Starman succeeds in throwing a hex, but can’t hit anyone with it (too far away), and places a Star Marker on Mister Fantastic, Flash rearranges Superman, Thing, and Wasp, and Sandman places some Sleeping Gas.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Thing avoids sleep and Clobbers Superman (who’s blocking the doorway) for one wound. Green Lantern sheds his Boxing Glove and hits Mister Fantastic (who’s already seeing stars) for two wounds. Mister Fantastic is down to 1 Life now.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Silver Surfer flies to Flash, sheds the “X” for Power Cosmic, and hits Flash for one wound. Superman rams his fist right into the Rock Wall Defense and takes a wound.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
ROUND FOUR: Mister Terrific picks Silver Surfer for Thousand Talents. Thing goes first, full Clobberin’ Time, for 8 skulls against Superman, who blocks SIX of them! Thing attacks a second time and just finishes Superman off.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Hawkman goes, shedding OM3 for double turns. Hawkman KO’s Mister Fantastic, then Starman, with Mister Terrific’s boost helping, throws a rock hex at Silver Surfer, but can’t hit the wound. Starman fails an attack on Silver Surfer, then hits SS with a Star Marker. Silver Surfer goes next, prompting Mister Terrific to give Starman a bonus move, then Green Lantern’s Cage marker stops Silver Surfer’s movement. Silver Surfer stands pat and fails an attack on Flash.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Hawkman rolls miserably and can’t wound Silver Surfer. Then Green Lantern sheds his Boxing Glove for a six skull attack on Thing, which lands three wounds.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Silver Surfer rounds it out (giving Mister Terrific a bonus movement to keep Hawkman in his Champions aura), then failing an attack on Flash.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
ROUND FIVE:[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Hawkman goes first, shedding the “X” to recharge Green Lantern, have Sandman lay down Sleeping Gas, have Starman throw a stone hex successfully at Silver Surfer, but fail to wound him, then put the last Star marker on Silver Surfer, then have Mister Terrific climb onto height next to Silver Surfer.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Wasp is put to sleep.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Green Lantern sheds a Boxing Glove for a 6 skull attack that KO’s Thing.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Silver Surfer goes, granting Green Lantern a bonus movement, and Surfer is groggy, but goes, using the Power Cosmic from the “X” to put a third wound on Flash. Mister Terrific goes, hitting Surfer for 3 quick wounds (he had one die to reroll, but didn’t hit it).[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The combination of grogginess from the Sleeping Gas and the effects of the last Star marker prevent Silver Surfer from landing a hit on Flash. (Green Lantern uses his bonus move to circle the Blue house).[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
ROUND SIX:[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Wasp flies out, using her special attack to KO Flash and hit Hawkman for a wound. Hawkman sheds OM3 for Golden Age Heroism and whiffs an attack on Wasp, then sees Mister Terrific’s three skull attack on Wasp blocked.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Silver Surfer burns his “X” and puts two wounds on Hawkman (who is now down to 2 lives). (Sandman used a bonus move to go into the Blue house). Hawkman KO’s Wasp, then Mister Terrific hits 4 skulls (1 with reroll) on Silver Surfer, and Surfer whiffs, falling! He loses OM3 in the process.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
ROUND SEVEN:[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Mister Terrific selects Human Torch and gets a quick bonus move from Green Lantern, who then sheds a Cage marker to prevent Human Torch’s movement. Torch attacks Green Lantern, who sheds his Shield to block it.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Hawkman sheds the “X” and Green Lantern moves and recharges, Starman advances but fails his Gravity Rod throw, Sandman shoots his Sleeping Gas where it only affects Human Torch, and Mister Terrific advances.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Human Torch is groggy, but manages a turn, and goes Supernova on Starman, Sandman, Green Lantern, and Mister Terrific. He rolls 5 skulls, landing 3 wounds on Starman (who loses his irrelevant Cosmic Converter Belt), KO’s Sandman (despite Champions of All Things Fair almost saving him), lands 3 wounds on Mister Terrific, and can’t hit Green Lantern (who sheds his Shield).[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Green Lantern burns his Boxing Glove on nullified Human Torch, landing 2 wounds. Energizer can’t hit Green Lantern for any wounds.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Mister Terrific ends the round by landing all skulls on Torch, who whiffs and takes his last 3 wounds.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
ROUND EIGHT:[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Mister Terrific picks Energizer (the only enemy left). His bonus move at the start of the round lets him grab height. Green Lantern sheds the Cage marker to stop Energizer in her tracks and she can’t wound him. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Hawkman sheds OM3 and hits Energizer for a quick two wounds. Then Green Lantern finishes her off.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Hawkman with 2 Lives, Mister Terrific with 1 Life, Starman with 1 Life, and Green Lantern with Full Life win Turn 2, Round 8.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT'S COST, BALANCE, & DRAFTABILITY: I’d probably bump him to 150-160 with the change. His movement and Champions of All Things Fair synergies help the rest of the faction well. There isn’t much use for his D20 boost, but it did come into play in each game here. His rerolls make him a nice second attack for Golden Age Heroism or a solid clean up figure for his cost.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]GENERAL THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT: I really like how his powers fit in with the faction. With all parts of Man of a Thousand Talents on at once, it had a ton of usage.[/FONT]

 

[Karat]

Re: The Book of Mister Terrific - Terry Sloane(Playtesting)

I agree with him, definitely needing a point bump. I'm thinking 160 and then dropping it from there if necessary. Thoughts?

Re: The Book of Mister Terrific - Terry Sloane(Playtesting)

If you don't need to choose anymore:

MAN OF A THOUSAND TALENTS
After revealing a numbered Order Marker on a card you control, you may choose one of all of the following to be are in effect until the next time you reveal a numbered Order Marker on a card you control:

* When Mister Terrific attacks with a normal attack you may re-roll any dice that did not show skulls once per attack, or and when defending against a normal attack, you may re-roll any dice that did not show shields once per attack; or

* When Mister Terrific or a Mystery Man Hero within 6 clear sight spaces rolls the 20-sided die, you may add or subtract 1 from that roll; or

* Choose an opponent’s figure within 6 clear sight spaces of Mister Terrific. Whenever an Order Marker is revealed on the chosen figure's Army Card, you may immediately move Mister Terrific or a Mystery Man Hero you control within clear sight of Mister Terrific up to 4 spaces.

Sounds good. I wouldn't be surprised to see him end up at 150, but 160 is certainly in play as well.

quozl's wording looks good. I was doing the choosing an opponent's figure once per round for the bonus movement, but I don't think it would've really affected my results to do it this way, and this way is probably cleaner to word.

I don't know, this seems weird to me. We don't normally state that powers are always in effect, they just are. And the OM reveal wording feels clunky. I honestly think we'd be best off splitting them into their own powers.

How about:

OLYMPIC LEVEL ATHLETE
When Mister Terrific attacks with a normal attack you may re-roll any dice that did not show skulls once per attack. When Mister Terrific defends against a normal attack, you may re-roll any dice that did not show shields once per attack.

GOLDEN AGE TACTICIAN
After revealing a numbered Order Marker on a card you control, you may choose an opponent’s figure within 6 clear sight spaces of Mister Terrific to be the chosen figure until the next time you reveal a numbered Order Marker on a card you control. Whenever an Order Marker is revealed on the chosen figure's Army Card, you may immediately move Mister Terrific or a Mystery Man Hero you control within clear sight of Mister Terrific up to 4 spaces. When Mister Terrific or a Mystery Man Hero within 6 clear sight spaces rolls the 20-sided die, you may add or subtract 1 from that roll.

 

[IAmBatman]

Re: The Book of Mister Terrific - Terry Sloane(Playtesting)

I updated the Danger Room with what's in the SP just to make sure any tests done there get the right mechanics. Splitting into powers would be fine. At this point it seems like we're mostly just tweaking for word flow and clarity, not mechanics.

I think this is better than the "always in effect" wording.
