A I think should be put into affect so we don't have every fig with Perplex using Brilliant Tactician, or have every character with heightened reflexes.

We'd love to have you aboard. As was said, March is a good bet for our relaunch, but there will be a few things for you to pay attention to between now and then, including instructions on setting up your draft position. I'd encourage you to subscribe to this thread so you can keep up.


Yep.

I'm liking the new upgrade system too.

I was briefly away from wearing the commissioner's hat when everything was set up, so I wasn't really in on some of the discussions for setting up the restrictions. "A" seems acceptable, and it's a way to keep some of the "pick a power" characters in check.

The "one upgrade at a time" deal; is that referring to the concept that if you have 100 XPs, you wouldn't be able to spend it on two upgrades between games? I'd be fine setting that one aside.

Oh, and perhaps the most important decision for the reboot: 300 or 400 pt games? HCFL went with 400 to start. And we're rebooting at a point where a slew of characters got their starting point values drastically reduced.

I took b) to mean that you can't use a trait like Super Skrull's to equip multiple feats.

Hmmm... I thought that's what "A" did, LOL.

That is what A does.

What B does is say that you can't have more than 1 Upgrade/Feat at a time.

You can't "box up" characters.

My Martian Manhunter couldn't have Camouflage, Protected, and Fortitude. Only one of those per game.

If you're playing characters with only 1 version, this really limits them. They already don't have the adaptability of being able to upgrade into different versions, so feats are the only thing they can spend xp on. I feel like limiting feats as well would hurt them disproportionately to characters with multiple versions.

I thought I read somewhere that you could not use more than 1 upgrade at a time...glad you guys found it I couldn't remember where it was. I do really like it as it limits the abuse we could stack and gives it a different feel than HCFL.

I vote to keep both rules.

I don't actually own any DC figures so I might make a DC team. I just know very little about them (comics & heroclix).

Isn't that what I said?

You can also upgrade with Special Objects and ATA

Which are also limited to one per team by the regular rules of the game.

I interpreted your first statement to meant that a single Trait can't qualify a character for Multiple Feats.

What I said is that a character with special powers or a trait are limited to a single feat/game.

I'll confess I missed that rule change entirely when I became commissioner again. Gwach stepped down before upgrades were in full swing, and I wasn't involved much in the off-season as far as prepping the rules changes.

I just think having both of those restrictions are too much.

If we're going to keep a restriction, I'd prefer to keep the one about possession of the power or ability. Either way, I don't think we need both.

Personally, I don't see rampant feat abuse. And on the rare case that you see a fully boxed up character, you at least know that person earned it.
