In modern age there are only a few figs with a range of 10 or more. Most of the are either SR or Chases.

Thoughts?

I'd say its also getting stronger due to the shorter clicks of life. Clicks of life are now in the 13-18 range per click of health instead of the 8-13 range per click of health. Average dial length probably went from 7-8 to 5-6.

If you have a reducer and get that outwitted and hit, it is probably gonna be a short game.

This.

Although the 13-18 life thing confuses me. I think you are talking about how many clicks of damage to KO a figure including reducers.

Short life = fast KOs.

One of the reasons no figure should have 5 damage + Super-Strength + HSS ever again. Being able to one-shot an 100 - 200 point figure and prevent retaliation is just poor design.

There are also more figures whose powers can't be countered than ever before. Look at the number of figures with the Power Cosmic team ability in Galactic Guardians alone.

I meant now characters cost about 13-18 points per click of life where it use to be 8-13 points per click of life. I'll edit the original post.

If only Adam Warlock wasn't so squishy. But outwit isn't entirely useless. I've hampered figs by outwitting their flight ability and making them charge, RS, and HSS out of hindering.

When they place their figs in hindering for the +1 vs ranged, I chuckle.

I'm not against to Outwit getting nerfed down to 8 squares like TK. If not, I'll use barrier, my personal "crutch" power.

The Guardians of the Galaxy chuckle at Adam Warlock....just not as much as he is chuckling at them.

This is what I was going to say. Between Power Cosmic, Guardians Of The Galaxy, the gauntlet (especially the gauntlet, once it becomes finished), and Stealth a big chunk of the game doesn't care at all about Outwit. If you're worried about it being too strong, soon you'll literally just be able to decide not to be effected by it.

I was just talking to my friends about how outwit isnt a must anymore, as 1/3 figs cant be outwitted or isnt hurt by it.

Don't forgret new powers (like on Hulk and new52 Superman) that prevent certain figures from Outwitting them... In Golden Age, you have Fortitude, in Modern Age, you have the Gauntlet.

Outwit is useful, but not broken. Never has been.

Can you outwit flight on a figure that has Power Cosmic?

Yes, power cosmic only allows it powers not to be countered. Not its abilities.

It's never been broken. Fundamentally un-fun, but not broken.

Still, for uniformity across the board, I'd vote for the range on it [and perplex] to be scaled back to 8. Just 'cause.

perplex and prob to follow suit? i hate making all the ranges different.
