Yes you can swap out a hight cost fig for lesser point figs. The only limitation is that you can't go to a bigger game.

Case in point, as I understand it your Roster let you have up to a 200 pt game. Your team for Issue #4 is 187. For your next issue you could technically remove both those players and replace them.......but your team for issue #5 would be limited to 187 points(what your starting team for the arc was).

Also you don't need to buy Trickshot... it was a free feat given by RB. You just have to put it in your squad build. It doesn't count towards team build nor cost TXP.

Thanks! It appears my plan is sound.

Are you kidding me? I would have been using it all along! That leaves room for Black Canary. Do I roll the dice to get her started w/ some IAP, too?

Also, how is the 5 IAP to 4 IAP for 1 TXP move being handled?

nah I think they have to be on your team for an arc. So i'll count Black Canary as a reserve on your team. Still need to keep the Black Adam, Dr. Fate squad though. Guess reservists don't effect your build total.

Well actually... she'd get a roll for being on the Gotham knights. So if you want to do it for Fut I'm sure it'd be fine.

As for IXP/TXP i'm not sure... I think they kick in this arc.

Keep in mind Trickshot does cost for your squad points too though so a squad of

Dr. Fate
Hawkman
Hawkgirl
Starman W/trickshot

would be 201 points... 1 over.

OK, this ain't going to look pretty but I guess I'll have to convert what IXP I have now then since overall we're using 2 scales. You should let the Marvel teams know since the #'s they're tracking may be all lopsided. Rather than getting into heavy math it will probably be simpler to let any unconvertable, left over IAP fall under the new 4 for 1 system.
Also, I'm assuming the dice roll IAP fall under "beginning of 1st issue of an arc" rather than "ending of last issue of an arc" since RB gave me rolls before JSA #1. That means they, too, would fall under the 4 for 1 system.

The 1st #'s above, to the left of the "+", refer to accumulated IXP under the 5 IAP = 1 IXP converion rate. The 2nd #'s above, to the right of the "+", refer to accumulated IAP yet to be converted to IXP under the 4 IAP = 1 IXP conversion rate.

Are the other players asking these type of questions? I've got to think the #'s are being fudged if they're not. Don't get me wrong - I'm not calling anybody a cheater. I'm just saying that others may not be paying attention to these details & straightening it out later on may turn into a real mess!

I've been working with Oogie on his, and he seems fine. I've got mind under control, Kasz' Suicide Squad hasn't even started yet, and Fut is MIA, so the DCU is pretty under control for the whole XP deal.

Looks like you're getting it all alright, Oz. Your numbers seem to check out, and Black Canary should be a pretty interesting addition to the team. She was only in the JSA book a short while, so it will be fun to see what might have happened if she stuck around longer.

Pre-Crisis, she was a staple of the team. This is what I'm thinking of. It'll also be nice to have somebody for the Hawks to carry around. Having all fliers is kind of hurting the Hawks' usefulness on this team.

Well, yeah, but this is Dinah the current, not Dinah the original. It's different, is all I'm saying. And I agree it'll be nice to see a Hawk carry a Canary, though saying it out loud it starts to sound odd...

ooh, somebody did my research for me! Decent article on the HCRealms homepage, but the most useful part could be this here:

Enemies of the JSA in HeroClix:

Solomon Grundy R/E/V

Shade R/E/V/LE

Mordru U

Eclipso U

Obsidian E/V

Black Adam R/V/LE

Ultra-Humanite U

Kobra R/E/V

Kobra Fanatic R/E/V/LE (Jason Burr was also Kobra)

Cheetah R/E/V (While this is likely the current Cheetah, Barbara Minerva, it is possible that could also be Priscilla Rich, the original. As an FYI, Minerva recently killed Rich.)

Nothing too surprising here. He also mentions that R Obsidian has the JSA TA? The units section confirms this but I don't think it's on my dial. I'll have to check this when I get home (or was this FAQ'd?)

OK, since it looks like my #s check out I'm going to absorb what IAP I can into IXP (using the new 4 IAP = 1 IXP converion rate) & I'm introducing something new to hopefully make my life a little easier. Here's a key:

[XX+A/UU]

XX = IXP
A = IAP
UU = total IXP needed to upgrade this character. This isn't necessarily the next possible upgrade point, but point at which I'd like to upgrade the figure (I may want to skip the LE or Exp).
