Palatinus' OverPower Forum

Some comments, questions and suggestions.  I have not been paying that much attention to what was being designed, so these are coming quite late.

Red Hood: The outlaws
Zoom out on picture to get faces of other characters.  (I am assuming that those characters are part of the outlaws).

Red Sonja
Why not change the inherent to make it a bit more clear:
If KO'd when Berserker Strength is in play, then Red Sonja is not discarded until the end of the battle.

Zatanna
Why does Zatanna get both a team-wide avoid and a team-wide remove 1 hit?  It might be better if the team-wide avoid is reduced to 6 or less or if the team-wide remove is limited to one kind of card (e.g., power cards or specials).

Batgirl:
She might be stronger than Spawn: she is 17 points, has better defense (Spawn does not have a self-avoid), and she has good offensive specials.  A deck of Spawn, Batgirl, Dr. Strange, and a negate character would be really hard to beat.  Possible edits: (1) Make Grapple line a teammate only avoid (though I'm not sure this enough); (2) make grapple line a discard effect (target discards one placed card); (3) make grapple line a "move 1 attack from teammate to Batgirl, draw one card and discard duplicates".

Red Monika:
Is her inherent supposed to give her a +1 to venture total if she is the only female on the team? (No issues with this, just wondering if that was the desired effect.)

Aphrodite IX:
Does "Intellect card hit" include multipower cards?  If so, it might be better to say "Must have an intellect hit to be KO'd".  If not, is she meant to be essentially unkillable  for decks that don't run intellect attacks?

Ballistic:
Rule question: how does her inherent work with teammwork cards?  Can she follow up a teamwork card (played by opponent) by attacking the reserve?

zatanna AD is fine as it is
maybe make the AL just from current battle

I don't think removing the "permanent record" clause from the special is sufficient.  In my experience, the remove from current battle is the strongest part about AL cards.  Yes, removing a hit from a previous battle can be useful, but in my experience that does not come up often.

I don't have a problem with Zatanna getting an AD. However, I don't think she should have both an AD and an AL that can remove any kind of hit. This seems really strong.  I think she would be more balanced if the AL was restricted to a particular card type (or if the AD was restricted in some way).

Thanks for the suggestions MHC but I won't be making any major changes.  I've been posting updates to this set for about a month now and i'll be printing tomorrow, cards will be staying as is and if people don't like the card affects then they can errata them to meet their playing needs.

As for the specific questions about existing cards:

Red Hood - used the same image for all three characters since i wanted them to have a unified feeling.

Red Sonja - Should be self explanatory, dead is dead rule is in affect after the end of the round.

Zatanna - Max 6 character so i don't think she's too powerful. 

Batgirl - might be a little powerful, but i have some love for the character so I made her a little more power than I should have, I will consider raising her Grid somewhat.

Red Monika - yes, even if she's by herself she gets +1 to venture.

Aphrodite IX - Yes, she's a hard to kill android.

Ballistic - yes, works with teamworks.

EDIT - The AL is the same one that the Morlocks have so I don't think it's that powerful.

Thanks for the responses.

I did not realize that printing was going to happen so soon.  Definitely not worth changing the cards at this point.

Can't wait chuu...pretty sure you already know, but I def want a set!  Glad you're making play sets of cards too!!

Even more impressive when viewed as a set.
Hope you can catch this before print, but Witchblade's Instinctive Bio-Armor should be coded CW, not HQ.  (Probably residual from Wonder Woman?)

That is correct Justa, I made the WW card just before the Witchblade card, PS actually crashed during that time so i had reset it up again...

like i said
fine as is

I went to the printer today and got the cards printed, still have to wait until they are cut but there's not going back now...lol  I made some changes to the set like Cassandra Cain is now 18 points,2-8-4-4 and her AD is 6 or less.  Also, here are the last 4 cards of the set.

Each set is a players set with 234 cards, each set will be $30 + Shipping

Also, printed out the 24 Card proxy Set which will be the following cards ($3 per set + Shipping)

Weapons Array, Smoking guns, Warp Chamber, Cable IQ, Doctor Doom IQ, Iron Man IQ, Speed Through x2, Maverick, Sentinel of Liberty, Shadow Cat: AOA, Thor IQ, Tiffany, Super Smarts
Freelance Spy, Wind Wipe, Viking Pyre, Quick Thinking, Darklands Army, Protector of the Innocent x 3, Shoot Out, Dangerous Dancer

Want! Please mark me down for a set (and the proxies!)

hi Everyone,

I noticed that I didn't print out Supersonic as was requested earlier so i'm going to add it in the proxy set.  Also, I noticed my set is has made New York City very playable (Ballistic with a negate, Velocity with her AD and Witchblade with a personal defense card).  I am considering an aspect card for it as well

cool man cool

The C4 Any-Homebase card is a great idea.

Yesterday I went to the print shop, the printer had started cutting but there were some miscuts that he'll have to reprint and recut, i should have everything tonight and I can go to the post office tomorrow morning to determine how much shipping will be.
