Character Creation - Longshot

[GambitXXM]

Longshot (Unique)
Cost: 62
Range: 4 (2 Bolts)
Team: X-Men

Speed: 9 8 7 6 6
Attack: 9 8 7 6 5
Defense: 17 16 15 15 14
Damage: 2 2 1 1 1

Stats and Powers Explanation:
Longshot starts with a high speed since he has hollow bones and good footspeed. His defense is high once again due to his incredible agility. Nothing really to say about the attack and damage.

Running Shot: Longshot gets running shot to represent him leaping into battle while tossing his blades as a surprise rush attack.

Leap/Climb: Longshot gets this ability due to his hollow bones allowing him to jump superhuman heights. He also uses his acrobatics to spring off of objects while jumping as well.

Super Senses: Super senses represent a combination of his luck working with his agility.

Probability Control: PC obviously represents Longshot's "luck" power as well.

Hmm not bad i kinda like it.An offensive PC along the lines of Black Cat and an X-Men to boot

[Doctor Strange]

Nice Longshot Gambit! I wouldn't change a thing.

[WarHULK]

Only thing I'd say is that maybe he should have leap/climb on the last click for getting away to a medic. Other then that, spot on.

[JayThor]

Great representation. I might keep 2 damage a little longer, like 3 clicks total.

[GambitXXM]

After some thought, I gave him another click of 2 damage.

;) Longshot is a really cool X-Man and you have represented him pretty well. I like the stats but I think he should have super senses for more clicks and then would obviously cost more because in the comics his luck never actually ran out........not that i remember

[XWolverineX]

by the way in no relation to this but does any1 know how to get a team icon if you forgot to get one by mistake in the begining??????

[GambitXXM]

Yeah, his luck never runs out, but I gave him super senses to represent his luck working with his agility. If he takes damage, he won't be as quick, therefor he won't be able to get as lucky with his dodges. :grin:

Also, to change your team icon, go to User CP, then Edit Options, then go down the bottom to the "Avatar" option. You can change it there. :)

Super Senses I am not sure about this part. His Luck is so good its possible but I dont know if he deserves it.

[Doctor Strange]

lol, yeah, but If I said Captain America Deserves Support (before heroclix came out) everyone would have laughed at me. ;)

[Quarantine]

I say give him Super Senses for a few clicks. This could represent his luck, heightened agility, reflexes, and semi-precognitive powers (yes he does have those). He made it a point to charge into battle and not get hit by a hail of bullets and stuff.

[JayThor]

I agree, let him have it. Otherwise he is the Scarlet Witch.

[callidusx3]

Me and a buddy were mulling him over too. We ended up ruling out PC as he never affected other people's actions, just things he did or would affect him. PC would grant him a power broader than his background. Maybe just a higher Df and At stat would do.

Otherwise...L/C for longer

callidusx3, nah, for game mechanics it works. This isn't an exact science and you have to factor the game system into the decision. There is no power that represents pure luck. Luck is all the Black Cat has as well. The only two figs I know in marvel universe that have PURE probability control are the Scarlet Witch and Domino from the Hellions. (she had good luck and bad luck discs) And arguably Destiny since she can predict the future. But the amount of communication required to use that on others would be incredible other then just "Mystique, DUCK!" instead of "Mystique fire and hit him in the groin causing a critical hit that will cause him to fall from the building."

I agree he does need more leap/climb. It wasn't just his hollow bones, he carried around a repelling line not unlike one that DareDevil or Black Cat (cat claw) would use to justify the same ability.
