NAME = SUPERWOMAN
SECRET IDENTITY = LANA LANG
SPECIES = METAHUMAN
UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO
CLASS = CHAMPION
PERSONALITY = CONFIDENT

SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5

LIFE = 5

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

POINTS = 230

KRYPTONIAN ENHANCEMENT

Superwoman has the species of Kryptonian in addition to what is listed on this card. When Superwoman rolls defense dice against a normal attack from a figure that is not a Kryptonian, add one automatic shield to whatever is rolled. When Superwoman would be affected by a glyph or special power, you may ignore her species of Kryptonian.

MAGNETIC MANIPULATION SPECIAL ATTACK
Range 4. Attack 4.
Before the defending figure rolls defense dice, you may place it on an empty space within X spaces of its current placement, where X is equal to the number of skulls you rolled. It will not take leaving engagement attacks. After attacking with this special attack, if at least one blank was rolled, you may choose a figure adjacent to the defending figure to receive one wound.

ELECTROMAGNETIC LIFT
Before taking a turn with Superwoman, you may choose a friendly figure within 4 spaces of Superwoman, or two if one is Human. Place each chosen figure on an empty space within 1 space of its current placement. Figures moved by Electromagnetic Lift do not take leaving engagement attacks.

Re: The Book of Superwoman (Lana Lang) (Breathing)

Should the special attack be placing figures instead of moving them? Like it's supposed to be a knockback type thing right? Kinda weird for it to care about height changes and such then.
 
Re: The Book of Superwoman (Lana Lang) (Breathing)

With it basically using Electromagnetism, placing is probably just fine. Already technically lets her pull things in, so placing can really let steer into that.
 
Re: The Book of Superwoman (Lana Lang) (Breathing)

Slight wording changes.
ELECTROMAGNETIC BURST SPECIAL ATTACK
Range 4. Attack 4.
After rolling attack dice for this special attack, before the defending figure rolls defense dice, you may move the defending figure one space for each shield or blank rolled. Figures moved by this special attack will not take leaving engagement attacks.

ELECTROMAGNETIC LOCKDOWN 15
Each time an opponent reveals an Order Marker, you may choose up to 4 figures within 4 clear sight spaces of Superwoman. Roll the 20-sided die once for each figure, adding 3 to the roll if you control that figure. If you roll 15 or higher, that figure may not be moved this turn.
For the special attack I'd agree that placing makes more sense and is more in line with our magnetic type powers.

Should Electromagnetic Lockdown specify numbered Order Markers? Also, should it last the entire player turn?
 
Re: The Book of Superwoman (Lana Lang) (Breathing)

Id suggest sticking to the same numbers when possible. In this case, you’ve got a lot of 4’s throughout, but then a 3 to add to the roll. Making it 4 makes for easier headspace, and possibly even 14 for the trigger.

Solid points. I'd actually probably lean it more toward this on the first one:

Definitely am down for that. I think the current numbers there were still present from an early rendition of the write-up. My overall goal is to land her sub-240, so will turn knobs as necessary. Lots of 4's though I agree would be great for headspace. Might even retitle the power (because two things starting with Electromagnetic feels weird).

LOCKDOWN MAGNETISM 14
Each time an opponent reveals a numbered Order Marker, you may choose up to 4 figures within 4 clear sight spaces of Superwoman. Roll the 20-sided die once for each figure, adding 4 to the roll if you control that figure. If you roll 14 or higher, that figure may not be moved this player turn.
 
Re: The Book of Superwoman (Lana Lang) (Vote 4 Initial!)

Seems pretty nasty - like a Super-Spider-Girl.

yea though
 
Re: The Book of Superwoman (Lana Lang) (Vote 4 Initial!)

Got one game down and was thinking of a change to really steer more into the protective angle on EM Lockdown, as I was digging the protective lean but realize that's a bit niche a protection. Thought this angle might make her a really interesting screening unit.

ELECTROMAGNETIC LOCKDOWN
Each time an opponent reveals a numbered Order Marker, you may choose up to 4 friendly figures within 4 clear sight spaces of Superwoman. Roll the 20-sided die, if you roll a:
•10 or higher, all chosen friendly figures may not be moved this player turn; and
•14 or higher, enemy figures moving onto or over a space adjacent to the chosen figures must stop end their movement there.
 
Re: The Book of Superwoman (Lana Lang) (Vote 4 Initial!)

Space adjacency isn't a thing. :2cents:

Edit: What's the purpose in the current version of calling out DOs separately?
 
Re: The Book of Superwoman (Lana Lang) (Vote 4 Initial!)

Ninja edited you, so I'll ask again: what's the purpose in the current version of calling out DOs separately?
 
Re: The Book of Superwoman (Lana Lang) (Vote 4 Initial!)

Ah. Not 100% sure. It was from Soundwarp's edit, so it may be about protecting Gundams. lol

Got a game in with the proposed change. Its definitely a fun tweak and doesn't feel overbearing, but I'm not sure she ultimately has much in terms of offensive potential. 2 losses overall so far.
 
Re: The Book of Superwoman (Lana Lang) (Vote 4 Initial!)

OK. Well unless you're throwing it while unoccupied or something, you're not moving a Gundam unless you occupy it, at which point it's a figure you control. So seemed a bit weird. :p

Looks like you're moving away from that anyway, though?
 
Re: The Book of Superwoman (Lana Lang) (Vote 4 Initial!)

Yeah, the more protective approach feels more interesting than the just movement denial stuff. Toying with making the special attack a double attack, but that may be something for the move to public testing after this third test. Not feeling as much need to try her with a bunch of movement denial figures with that above change, but may still be a good idea.
 
Re: The Book of Superwoman (Lana Lang) (Vote 4 Initial!)

The DO call out was just to preserve what the power did orginally as much as possible.

Originally it picked figures separately and had a bonus for figures you controlled. So you could pick like Battlements or something to stop people from throwing them. But a regular DO is not a friendly figure or an enemy figure, so it needed a call out in the single D-20 version. Though I suppose it could have said 'all other figures' or something.

The new power seems fine to me, beside some mentioned tidying (you also have 'stop end' in there). I'd consider letting her pick herself as one of the 'anchors' as well.

GENERAL THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT: I think she’s in a good spot. I think she may be pretty close on points, maybe dialing rolls one way or another. She’s a support unit for the most part, so that’s definitely where things lie more than offensive potential.
 
Re: The Book of Superwoman (Lana Lang) (Initial Posted)

Here's what I'm thinking moving forward, unless people think I should try a game with more figure movery, movement denial types.

NAME = SUPERWOMAN
SECRET IDENTITY = LANA LANG
SPECIES = METAHUMAN
UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO
CLASS = CHAMPION
PERSONALITY = CONFIDENT

SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5

LIFE = 5

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

POINTS = 230
