_________________________________________________________________

Character Bio - Hobie Brown became a Spider Totem after being bitten by a spider mutated by illegal waste dumping. Using his powers and his pull as the lead singer of the punk rock bank Spider-Slayers, he teams up with Captain Anarchy and creates an army to fight President Norman Osborn’s oppressive regime. With Osborn and his military police backed by the V.E.N.O.M. projects which gives them all symbiotic super suits, the Anarchic Spider-Man fights them using the weapon he knows best: Music!

While he continues to fight the Man throughout his life, the Superior Spider-Man recruits him into his Spider-Army when all Spider Totems are threatened throughout the multiverse.

Re: The Book of Spider-Man (Hobie Brown) ~ Breathing

NAME = SPIDER-MAN
SECRET IDENTITY = HOBIE BROWN (CO)

SPECIES = MUTATE
UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO
CLASS = ENTERTAINER
PERSONALITY = REBELLIOUS

SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5

LIFE = 4

MOVE = 6
RANGE = 1
ATTACK = 4
DEFENSE = 5

POINTS = 160



SPIDER-PUNK RIOT 9
Once per round, instead of attacking with Spider-Man, you may choose a figure adjacent to each figure you control that has the Rebellious personality or that has a Spider-Verse, Swing Line, or Web Swing special power. One at a time for each chosen figure, roll the 20-sided die, adding 2 to the roll if the chosen figure is a Symbiote. If you roll 9 or higher, the chosen figure receives one wound. You may not choose the same figure more than once per turn.

FENDER BENDER
Instead of attacking with Spider-Man, you may roll either 1 or 3 unblockable attack dice against an adjacent figure. If you roll 3 dice, Spider-Man's Fender Bender and Spider-Punk Riot special powers are negated for the rest of the game.

SWING LINE 4
Instead of his normal move, Spider-Man may move up to 4 spaces with Swing Line. When moving with Swing Line, Spider-Man has the Flying special power, but may not move up or down more than 40 levels in a single swing, and will not take any leaving engagement attacks.

SUPER STRENGTH

Re: The Book of Spider-Man (Hobie Brown) ~ Breathing

Alrighty, possibly my favorite alt-universe Spider-Man! The plan is for him to come in at 160, there are no Spiders at that cost yet. He's throwing a bunch of unblockables, but I think they're restricted enough that his cost shouldn't be pushed too high. Another option if we don't like Fender Bender is just reusing Spider-Agility. It'd fit good here since he's pretty aggressive. Otherwise I think he's in a pretty good spot, been workshopped a few times.
 
Re: The Book of Spider-Man (Hobie Brown) ~ Breathing

Actually claimed the art for this one ;) I will just take my own mini pictures for the card.

Are there plans for a separate Amplifier DO still or nah?
 
Re: The Book of Spider-Man (Hobie Brown) ~ Breathing

I ended up nabbing a figure for a pretty good deal on ebay not too long ago, so I can grab pics too if you want. Should I just assume you're doing all of the Spideys at this point? :lol:

I wouldn't say there's PLANS to make the Slayers' Amp, but I want to keep the idea in my back pocket. I'm planning on cutting him off of it anyway since I don't like terrain in my figures, but I do get others not wanting to do that do a pricier figure.
 
Re: The Book of Spider-Man (Hobie Brown) ~ Breathing

This is the Prowler? :lol:

Looks pretty good. I might up the range on Spider-Punk Riot, since it’d be tricky to get more than 1-2 figures with it otherwise, but at the same time the limited range keeps him cheap. Fender Bender is pretty funny.

You mean that the Spiders have to choose adjacent figures? My thinking is that UK is going to move ALL of your spiders into engagements before you punk out with Hobie. So we COULD, but I don't think it's necessary.

Cool, happy to not take them if you provide good ones too. And I'm down to do all the Spider-folk, I did promise Ark he could have Symbiote Gwen.
 
Re: The Book of Spider-Man (Hobie Brown) ~ Breathing

Looks neat. I do think you may need to specify a bit about rolling in SPR, like do you roll once for all figures, one at a time?
 
Re: The Book of Spider-Man (Hobie Brown) ~ Breathing

As worded it's pretty clear that you roll one at a time.
 
Re: The Book of Spider-Man (Hobie Brown) ~ Breathing

Yeah I think the "For each figure" covers that they're all separate. I'm always down for more clarity if needed though. It's definitely the intent that they're all separate.
 
Re: The Book of Spider-Man (Hobie Brown) ~ Breathing

Ah, so you’re choosing enemies adjacent to each friendly Spider or Rebellious figure? I was assuming the enemies had to be adjacent to Spider-Punk.
 
Re: The Book of Spider-Man (Hobie Brown) ~ Breathing

One person is not a riot ;)
 
Re: The Book of Spider-Man (Hobie Brown) ~ Breathing

Hyped! Definitely makes me want to do the 12th Doctor sooner rather than later, so they can be wacky punk guitar bros.

It always feels a little strange to me when a single card has both unblockables and a D20 autowounder, but both powers feel good as they are, so not really sure it's a problem?

How much of a Celebrity is he? That's kind of a cool little sub-faction that could potentially happen at some point. (Entertainer is definitely valid as well.

Definitely going to be playing that Riot song off the Spider-Verse soundtrack when playing with this guy!

I dunno, he's in a band. :lol: I liked Maverick, but Celebrity and Entertainer seem good too. I like all these Spiders having double faction duty, and he already has the Rebellious callout so I'm good with whatever class.

Maybe this would read clearer?

Once per round instead of attacking with Spider-Man, you may choose a figure adjacent to each figure you control that has the Rebellious personality, or has the Swing Ling or Web Swing special power. One at a time, roll the 20-sided die, adding 2 to the roll if the chosen figure is a symbiote. If you roll 11 or higher, the chosen figure receives one wound. No figure may be chosen more than once during Spider-Punk Riot.

This. :lol:

Having them have to be adjacent to the other Spiders does make it more clear.

This is definitely more clear than the initial.
 
Re: The Book of Spider-Man (Hobie Brown) ~ Breathing

Nothing too mechanically crazy here. I propose we move to initial.

If anyone has an opinion on the class just lemme know! Especially if there are/will be synergies with any of the choices I have!

I like entertainer. Is he actually a celebrity on his world or does he just play concerts?

Yea

I guess in my head a rock star is a celebrity, but I'm not sure how C3G defines the semantics here. He has enough pull to form an anarchist army at the very least. If there's a synergy hub he'd fit in, I'd like that. But I already have the Rebellious tag on him per MrN's request, so it's not a huge deal either way.
