Anyone working on Spiral?

[Reinhardt75]

Has anyone been working on a Datafile for Spiral? I always thought she was an interesting and underused character.

[blackwingedheaven]

I'm surprised that no one seems to have done Spiral yet. I checked the big database of characters, and didn't see her. If no one gets to it before then, I'll try my hand at it tomorrow.

[Blackcampbell]

One of my faves, as well. I'll have to have a look over the Longshot series and try to get her right.

Let me know what you think!

Edit: Made some changes based on input.

Very cool.

I'd change the flavor text for "Enhanced Alien Physique" to something like "Cybernetic Alterations" or the like.

Also, Spirals' magic is always tied to her ability to Dance, so you might want to place some kind of Limit on that shutdowns her sorcery powers if her movement is restricted.

[blackwingedheaven]

Changed "Enhanced Alien Physique" to "Alien Cybernetics" and added a movement-based limit on Time Dancer. How's it look now?

[Newtsy]

•SFX: Reactive Possession. On a successful reaction against a psychic attack, convert your opponent’s effect die into an Enhanced Alien Physique stunt.

Awesome write-up, bwh!!

I think you forgot to carry your "Alien Cybernetics" change through to the SFX above.

[konate]

I'll say I'm pretty impressed. A reminder of how much I've forgotten...

Longshot, now?

Pretty please?

[Duck Call Lass]

Those are some sweet Spiral stats. Well done!

[Reinhardt75]

Very Cool!
