Geekery: Heroes and Arkham Horror
After conversations the last few days with various other Arkham/Heroes fans, I've now created Heroes Arkham investigators...
- Peter (special: may take on the special of another character in play once per turn, forfeiting his next focus)
- Niki/Jessica (special: gets 2 extra points of focus to use whenever she likes)
- Nathan (special: treats the sky as a street location one movement point away from any other; must fight or evade monsters there)
- Isaac (special: may turn over the top card of any deck once per turn; if it's a location card, that deck isn't shuffled next time)
- Hiro (special: may teleport or reroll a fight check once per turn)
- The Haitian (special: may take clue tokens from another investigator in his location and restore an equal number of points of sanity)
- DL (special: cannot be arrested or delayed; can enter and use closed locations)
- Claude (special: can auto-pass all evade checks in one location per turn)
- Claire (special: loses one turn to go back up to full stamina)
Some of these are fairly hefty specials, but as someone (smiorgan?) said this weekend: these aren't first level characters ;-) And I'm considering making Sylar as a Great Old One to go with them. He'll spend the game chomping away on allies (possibly raising the doom track as he goes), and his attack may well be to eat an investigator at random. So he'll be pretty nasty to suit.
So the next question is: who wants to help me playtest them?
