The Book of Iron Man

[rdhight]

In our game last night I had a gliph for +1 attack and always had height advantage so I was always rolling a +6 double attack and he was making quick work of everyone. So I got to thinking maybe he shouldn't get the +1 attack for height if the double attack is considered a special.

It's an important part of the game that not every unit responds to every glyph or bonus in the same way. Due to multiple shots, Iron Man was powering up from the +2 attack more than most other heroes would. It's intentional that he should dominate in such a scenario.

Having only just seen the prototype Iron Man card, I've got to say ... its the one I'll be using as soon as I get the Color Ink to print him out. It's not like he'll be able to use the actual Explosive all that often, what with MarvelScape being small, high-cost teams, but its existance makes me feel better about him.

I've seen people mention prototype cards in several different places, but I've been unable to find any of the cards themselves by searching. Is there a dedicated thread anywhere to the prototype cards seen at cons / on packaging?

Old stuff like that can be hard to find, but I did manage to pick him up on a quick Google search:

Holy crap, he actual DOES have "crotch targetting."

WHAT'S GOING ON??



Also, I'd like to know about the "Jump Punch" power on Hulk, back there.

Anyone with any access to those prototype, your input would be greatly appreciated.

Iron Man is not affected by Falling and Major Falling. Iron Man is still affected by Extreme Falling. Iron Man also ignores any special powers that give automatic shields to Destructible Objects.


How does a figure with the ability to fly suffer from Extreme Falling?

Mindshackle him with Dr Doom and walk him off a cliff.

Choose not to fly?

Like the road bonus. Players can choose to have their figures walk to get the 3 space road bonus.

I'm pretty sure taking falling damage ends a figure's move. . . . (The rulebooks won't load at work so I can't check it.)

From the rulebook,
"If you drop 20 more levels than the figures height, roll the d20...1-18 the figure is destroyed."

Kinda hard to do that 3 times in a turn.

Heh, thanks EternalThanos86. I don't think I've played on a map where extreme falling or extreme height is possible for a long time. I had the two confused.

THanks for the reminder. I discovered a bunch of small rules a while back, ahd have forgotten them. Extreme Height Advantage has come into play many times, but I've never once used it.

A good chunk of the official Marvel characters have flying and super strength. While the above-mentioned scenarios for walking a flying character to their doom are possible, I believe the bold part of the super strength power is the reason these (flying) characters were given the power.

Could you provide the text and stats of the original preview iron man card? That would be amazing! The uploaded image is not visible anymore.

Seckseetyme advertisements in Iron Man's book. Feels.... Ironic?

I'll bump to ask if anyone has the preelease card with the special attack.
