Designer Notes: Possibly undervalued by 10-15 points, but I'm sticking with 250 and 150 because they are easy numbers to build around.

Surfboard: Silver Surfer begins the game with the Surfboard attached. While the Surfboard is attached, he modifies his Speed value +2 and possesses the symbol. Before knock back is applied, detach the Surfboard and place it in the square Silver Surfer occupies. Silver Surfer can take a power action to reattach the surfboard. If Silver Surfer is adjacent to the Surfboard, this is a free action instead.
Sentinel of the Skyways: While the Surfboard is attach, Silver Surfer may use the Multi-attack ability, but only to take move or ranged combat actions.
Greatest Herald of Galactus: When Silver Surfer is dealt penetrating damage, it can be reduced. While the Surfboard is attached, Silver Surfer may use Energy Shield/Deflection and the Ram ability.


Think there's a better way to represent the Surfer, feel free to post your version to this thread. I am not arguing that this is the perfect Silver Surfer, only that what Wizkids has produced so far does not accurately represent my conception of the character. I would love to see more accurate and innovative designs.

I feel like Sentinel of the Skyway should just be Multi-Attack. Might as well use a mechanic we're already familiar with, and all that adds to your options is close combat.

I like the Surfboard

Toomie, my board!

I thought about that, but I didn't want him to be able to take power actions or close combat actions.

I could just word it:

"While the Surfboard is attach, Silver Surfer may use the Multi-attack ability, but only to take move or ranged combat actions."


Thanks for the feedback.

This is a style that I envision.

Pacifist Enhanced by the Power Cosmic: Silver Surfer can use Invincible. If Silver Surfer was damaged by an opponent last turn, he can use Improved Targeting ⦿● █ █and█ for the rest of this turn. This trait cannot be ignored.

A Distress Call Half a Galaxy Away: Silver Surfer breaks away automatically and can use Running Shot, but doesn't halve his speed value when using it.

Absorb and Manipulate Matter: Silver Surfer can use Psychic Blast. If Silver Surfer doesn't use Running Shot he can use Pulse Wave.

Galactus' Herald: Silver Surfer deals penetrating damage. If Silver Surfer damages a figure costing 150 points or more, you may heal him of 1 damage.

I like the look of the dial. Our dials are similar in a lot of ways. The Pacifist trait is a nice touch. Thanks for sharing.

nice dial man, i think you're on to something with that damage power. and multi-attack is a great way to represent surfers fighting style, I always thought a ranged flurry or something would represent him well.

i like a lot of these ideas, but dude for 300 points I don't care how much invincible he has, he needs to be able to consistently hit people at the cost. no reason he couldn't start with a 10. He's a pacifist but he's also imbued with power cosmic, which means he'd start with an 11 attack instead of a 12.

Targeting: Cosmic Power: Ignores Hindering, Ignores Elevated
Pacifist-When I Can Afford To Be: At the beginning of the game, choose an opposing character with the highest point cost and any other opposing characters with a cost greater than or equal to Silver Surfer's. When Silver Surfer makes a ranged combat attack against any other characters, his damage value becomes 2, is locked, and Silver Surfer can use Precision Strike.
My Board and I Are One: Whenever Silver Surfer resolves an action or takes no damage from a successful attack, he may immediately use Sidestep. While Silver Surfer occupies outdoor terrain, he can use Super Senses, , and increases his speed by 3.
Neutralize Threats: Silver Surfer can use Incapacitate and . When Silver Surfer hits a character using Incapacitate, he may use Outwit this turn, and if that character is in an adjacent square they cannot use the Power Cosmic team ability until they clear.

dude i feel like that trait is terrible haha at 250 points, without it he suddenly becomes awesome

maybe scale his damage based on the point of the character. -2 damage against <100 points, -1damage at characters <200

I feel like, with everything else he has going on, he can afford to focus on their top dog while slowly dismantling the minor enemies. But it's theoretical design. I'd have to see it in play to know if it actually works.

It does justify costing him at 250 (or 150, which lifts a lot of his restriction). And it makes him a thinking man's piece rather than point-and-shoot.
