_________________________________________________________________
Character Bio - Originally bullied because he was a small albino, Lonnie became the bully once he had grown taller than most of classmates in school. At 6' 7", with teeth filed into sharp points, Lonnie was an intimidating figure in the criminal world--even before he was exposed to a chemical that hardened his skin to near impenetrable and gave him enhanced strength and stamina.

Re: Tombstone - Design Phase

He was always a character screaming for "Tough" to me, but I actually dig what you have here a lot better! Nice power set. :)

Just to doublecheck with you Marvel guys, he definitely only qualifies for Criminal, not Crime Lord, right? It'd be so nice to have a good Marvel Crime Lord!
 
Re: Tombstone - Design Phase

I could see Tough going on there, too, since the powers are short enough as is.

And yeah, he was Crime Lord material in The Spectacular Spider-Man, but definitely just "common crook" level. I could also see a class of Enforcer (which would probably be more accurate but less synergistic).
 
Re: Tombstone - Design Phase

He definitely needs synergy with Kingpin.

Oh, I wouldn't do that. A figure without Super Strength facing him on asphalt would have to deal with a 5 life, 7 defense figure that subtracted 1 from their normal attack and added an auto shield versus their normal attack. That'd be far too much piling on and would make him feel unbeatable in certain match ups (melee squaddies would be completely screwed, for instance). I'd prefer to stick with the SP as is.

:word: No Enforcer, por favor.
 
Re: Tombstone - Design Phase

If we added Tough I'd definitely drop his base defense - all of those defensive powers on top of each other would DEFINITELY be bananas! I don't think it's a hard necessity but I wouldn't be against it.
 
Re: Tombstone - Design Phase

I wouldn't feel comfortable even considering Tough unless he went down at least to 4 defense.

Not sure I see the need at all, though. His life and defense do a nice job of representing his toughness, and he gets other defensive bonuses already.
 
Re: Tombstone - Design Phase

I like it! Nice and simple!

The Hood and Black Tarantula. ;)

Don't know the guy, but the write-up looks good. :up:

I'm greedy. I want more. :-D Hopefully the Owl gets done some time soon.
 
Re: Tombstone - Design Phase

Looks good. Criminal seems fine.

Abilities

Extremely skilled in the use of hand-to-hand combat and firearms.

Should he have a ranged attack? If so, the base attack would have to be changed and another power would be needed to bump his melee attack up. Or, keep base attack as is and a special ranged attack that is lower.

Not a big deal either way though if he has a ranged attack or not.
 
Re: Tombstone - Design Phase

I'm used to him being more of an up-close-and-personal bruiser, so I'm fine keeping him melee.
 
Re: Tombstone - Design Phase

First ERB

Thanks for the quick reply. Appreciate it.

He's 6'7" and is supposed to be basically impervious to conventional projectiles, but doesn't have much else going for him. We'll see how he does in testing.

Looks good. I wonder if with 2 defensive powers his defense doesn't need to drop 1, but I understand thematically why it's that high.

Re: Tombstone - Design Phase

I think it'll be really fun to battle him with Spidey. Spidey will really want to set up his Webslinging to get that -2 to his defense, or he'll be really hard for Spidey to hurt. Themey goodness. :-D
 
Re: Tombstone - Design Phase

One more theme-related point I thought I'd bring up after thinking about it: should Fearless figures be affected? It seems a little weird to me that Daredevil would be intimidated by one of Kingpin's thugs (especially since he'd be intimidating Tombstone at the same time).
 
Re: Tombstone - Design Phase

Good question. I see where you're coming from here. But if we put in a line excluding Fearless figures here, I'd want to do the same for Iron Monger.
 
Re: Tombstone - Design Phase

What, nothing about what I want on my pizza?
I have to say I'm disappointed.

Glad you like him.

Yes, this is delayed due to being sidetracked this morning by an interesting YouTube video lecture on Free Will vs. Determinism. Based on the lecture, I must conclude that I have no control whatsoever in preparing this ERB. :p

It's perfectly thematic for a person from Arizona to draft a figure named Tombstone. If I were designing a figure, it'd probably be Nashville. Or is that Super Nashville? Nashville Man? Captain Nashville? The Nashville?

Rule the Streets

Vetted! This one surprised me, because I didn't expect this ability to be recycled.

Intimidating Presence

I had thought this was vetted via Darkseid, but that is Imposing Presence. This is a more limited version.

Final Thoughts

No issues, and a nice addition to the Criminal faction.

I just received a bill from my lawyer on the will I requested. You see, there is no free will!!! (but there is Free Willy!)

Re: Tombstone - Design Phase

I can start testing him this weekend, though first we have to decide whether or not Intimidating Presence affects Fearless figures.
