For this week’s post, I was inspired by Magic: the Gathering’s joke card sets (Unglued and
Unhinged); I wondered what it’d be like if HeroClix had a whole slew of joke powers and figures. Here are a few I came up with:

Funny Movement Powers

Place Legos

A character possessing this power can place up to 4 Special tokens while moving. Opposing characters who cross one of these spaces have to stop; they are dealt 1 unavoidable damage and given 1 extra action token immediately. (Because stepping on a Lego automatically means hopping around in crippling pain!)

Vine Swing

This character can move between any two squares of Hindering Terrain, provided that the line of movement does not cross more than one square of Water or Clear terrain (and crosses no Blocking terrain). (Should the Tarzan yell be a requirement for using this power?)

Funny Attack Powers

Whine

(Prerequisite: “Kid” keyword)

When this character is adjacent to an opposing character, roll 1 d6 at the beginning of your turn for each opposing character this one is adjacent to. If the result is 5 or 6, place an action token on the opposing character. (Because you can only put up with whining for so long…)

Duct Tape

When this character attacks an opposing character, place a Duct Tape token on the opposing character’s card. Until your next turn, that character may not attack or move adjacent to any opposing or friendly character. When your next turn comes, remove the Duct Tape token, and that character takes 1 unavoidable damage. (Duct tape: the fastest way to stop somebody from talking. XD Also, ripping the duct tape off is extra revenge… LOL)

Funny Defense Powers

Oh No She Didn’t

When attacked, this character may immediately make a counter-attack as a free action, with +1 to their normal attack value. (Add a Z-snap if you wish :D)

On the Throne

This character cannot be the target of an attack if he or she is on a square of Hindering Terrain representing a toilet. (“I’ll be out in a minute!!!”)

Funny Damage Powers

Pen Poke

When this character is adjacent to an opposing character, deal damage to the opposing character at the beginning of your turn, rising incrementally every turn that the two are adjacent. (Example: 1 damage first turn, 2 damage second turn, etc.) Defense modifiers come into play as normal. (Because poking someone with a pen usually just gets more and more violent until you get their attention…)

Sriracha Attack

(Prerequisite: “Bottle of Sriracha” Item)

A character possessing this power and holding the “Bottle of Sriracha” may attack as normal. When opposing characters are damaged by this character, they take normal damage, then take 1 unavoidable damage on each of the next two turns. Opposing characters holding the item “Glass of Milk” are not affected by the unavoidable damage. (Those of us with no spicy food tolerance know how accurate this power is!)
