Turn 5a:

1) "You are impressive craftsmanship, but you were still made by an inferior primate. Bend to Grodd's will." Grodd Mind Controls Iron, Shape Change is a 4! 10 vs 18 (email says 11 but I didn't have a CP token)--roll is an 8 for the hit! Iron can't help himself as the willful gorilla forces him to jump off the building--breakaway roll is a 5! Iron uses giant stride to run to W-19.

2) "Did you hear the one about the robot trying to catch the clown? The robot didn't get it. Get it! A HA HA HA HA!" Joker breaks away with a 5! He'll run to N-19.

free) "Here am some non-corrosive substance for your gold coating." Batzarro perplexes Gold's defense down to 16.

3) Batzarro shoots Gold /w Enhancement (Joker at N-19), 8 vs 16 (perp)--hits with an 8! Joker coats Batzarro's ammo with poison and Gold takes 3 minus one for two clicks. "You am Batzarro's friend!" "Oh, you are WAY more fun than the other bat. Tee hee hee." 1 AST to Joker.

Others clear.

Cheetah punches Mercury, 10 vs 16--hits with a 5,5 for two clicks plus knockback for two more clicks and the KO! Cheetah tail swipes Mercury and knocks him off the building, dispersing his liquid metal form.

2) "I can't believe I'm forced to test my mettle against a giant piece of iron..." Fatality tries to RCE Iron, shape change is a--4! She sends a blast of energy at Iron, but it bounces off harmlessly. Fatality RCE vs Iron, 9 vs 18--roll is a 3.

"What is going on with Iron?!?" Magnus gasped, smacking his controller for the responsometers. "It can't be possible that Grodd is getting through to him through mental powers. The Metal Men don't even have a --" he paused, noting the quizzical look on Platinum's face "--umm, they don't have the vulnerability to Grodd's powers that humans do."

"Yes, that is confounding," Dr. Caulder said. "Grodd's powers don't seem like they would get through to Iron."

"So what could it be?" Platinum asked.

"We'll consider other possibilities," Dr. Caulder said, tucking something into his blazer pocket, "whatever they might be."

Hey Glen, I'm looking at the wording of Roboticist and I'm not so sure that Will Magnus can perplex himself when he uses the ability on all friendly characters. It didn't affect the last turn, but it might in the future.

Correct. If he perplexes damage, it can only be a single Metal Man's damage. I didn't have any other Metal Men in sight to perplex in that case anyhow.

It seems to be the same wording as Professor X's SP, or Brilliant Tactitian. I've always been told that you can self perplex with those as well.

Turn 8a:

1) Joker shoots Will Magnus, 7 vs 17--misses with a 7. When Joker pulls the trigger a flag that says "BANG" comes out. "A HAHAHAHAHAA".

2) Grodd looks at Joker with disgust, but the joke serves as a distraction, allowing Grodd to focus his mental powers on Will Magnus. Grodd shoots Will Magnus, 10 vs 17 (with enhancement)--hits with a 7! for 3 minus 1 click! 1 AST to Joker.

CP) + 1 token

Does Grodd get a DFD for that, because the damage prevents Will Magnus from pushing to attack me.

Hmmmm...

I would think no. It would seem to be the same as knocking a figure with no range off of charge or HSS. AFAIK, I haven't seen DFDs awarded that way (i.e. an attack triggering a DFD). Or even for Incapping a figure or knocking a figure out of range.

Oh, and speaking of stats, I'll be adding another second AST to the Chief for the two successful attacks on the Cheetah. One for outwitting super senses, one for providing the damage boost for the KO.

1) Fatality tries to duck under Iron's grasp, but fails her break away roll. You know, as good as those 2's are for shape change, not so good for breaking away.
