Web shooter mechanic

[WolvieFan9]

Here's what I think the web shooter mechanic will encompass.

1) Characters with web shooters will have a :star: that says "This character possesses a web shooter."

2) I think the web shooter mechanic will be focused on limiting the number of ranged combat attacks that they can make. It has always been a standard comic book melodrama -- will Spidey run out of web fluid in the middle of a battle?

3) I predict that any web shooter figure will have to add a "web shooter token" to the character card every time they make a ranged attack. Then every time the character with the web shooter attempts to make a ranged combat attack, they must roll over the number of tokens on the card. If they roll even to or below the number of tokens, then the web shooter is out of fluid and that character can no longer make ranged attacks. If the character makes the roll (higher than the number of tokens), the character can make the ranged combat attack and then must add another token to the card.


NOW, it could be something else... maybe a web shooter grants the :m-boot-trans: symbol or something, who knows. But whenever I think of web shooters, the iconic moment to me is "Will Spidey run out of fluid mid-swing, mid-attack..." So I hope the mechanic captures that feel.

I would like to see it represent Leap/Climb and Incapacitate in some way.

Sounds more complicated than what Wizkids normally does.

I have to agree with Watsu. It's going to have to do with movement and slowling down other figures. It may also have something to do with something like web darts or web shield but you never know. Most likely something simple like the leap/climb and incap.

I think it'll be more like a :a-sharpshooter: symbol but webs instead, and any character with it can use leap/climb and incapacitate. Maybe something a little more original than that, but that's my first thought on it.

Good thinking, that could be true, and maybe, the figures will be given L/C and/or Incap like the WatTsu thinks!!!:cool::cool::cool:

What I thought would be cool for web shooters is to be able to use some form of Tk to represent a character shooting at an object token and chucking it at an opponent or if the web shooter is behind a friendly character that is locked in battle with an opponent, that character would have the ability to PULL them out if their in danger without having to make a break away roll.

Wouldn't it be much easier to just have an SP that allows Leap/Climb and Incapacitate, rather than making it into an actual game mechanic.

I feel that the Web Shooters should be something that adds to the game, like AE's. It's not rehashing any powers and abilities, it allows these figures to do something more than before.

I'm not going to speculate what Web Shooters will be but I hope for everyone's sake that it's not just LC and Incap or something in that vein.
