I just want to be clear that there is no 'classic' and 'current' Dr. Strange. It is up to the contestant to argue and convince voters of their strategy.

I believe 10 to 20 pointers are exceptions to the rule

Reposting so people see this on the new page.

Yeah...

...I am going to clarify power boosting since some of you (i won't name who) are asking me some pretty weird things.

[b]Examples of Power Boosting.

1. An electric character becomes more powerful if they have more electricity. You buy 36 hours of prep, and draft Storm. During the entire prep you hit that character with lightning bolts from the sky using storm in order to boost that characters power.

2. You draft Hercules, the Hulk, and a Nurse. You buy 36 hours prep as well. During the prep, you give Hulk's blood via a transfusion to Hercules in order to make Hercules into Hulk Hercules which makes him extra strong.

3. You draft Silver Surfer and 2 other Heralds of Galactus and 2 hours of Prep and power boosting. You have Silver Surfer drain the other Heralds of Galactus and add their power to Silver Surfers own Power Cosmic to Super Charge Silver Surfer with lots of Power Cosmic.

Note: Building tech from scratch doesn't count as power boosting, unless that tech is used to increase a characters regular native power. ie Using Dr. Doom and Reed Richards to build a device that boosts strength three fold and gives the character laser vision.

Examples of Not Power Boosting:

1. You draft Hulk, Hulk's Wife from Planet Hulk(Cairea?), and an Amalgam of Superman and Joker and 15 minutes of Battlefield Prep. 30 seconds before your prep is up, you have SuperJoker kill Hulk's wife in front of him making Hulk really mad. You then unleash Hulk on the other team.

2. You draft Hulk, Doctor Doom, 36 hours of prep in a science lab. You tie down hulk with adamantium restraints, and poke hulk with a 100,00 Volt Cattleprod for 36 hours making him mad then unleash Hulk on the other team.

3. Drafting Black Canary for 2 points, 36 hours of Prep (5 Points), and 18 construction works to build a giant 1000 foot tall megaphone on half the side of the battlefield. Which you then use black Canary to scream in the megaphone at the other team.

Oh BTW Evangel, I believe enough of a case has been made to get Shaggy Man banned. So i'd like a ruling.

Could you briefly re-state some of the points on why shaggy man doesn't fit as a Herald character?

All the points are stated on the top side of page 17.

Anyone who can pwn Orion that easily is >>> than Herald Level

Sorry King Kandy, didn't see that post.

Ruling:

Alright, Papa Smurph, if that is Shaggy Man in the scans, then you have to choose another character since he is early dominating Martian Manhunter, Superman, Orion, and a very large Herald level bull mastiff.

Are there any other characters that are being objected to? I only know of the following:

Metron

and

Mogo

Oh yeah, we already found a quote of Smurph saying Mogo is above Odin... Hypocrisy, no?

He retracted the statement saying that he has reviewed the evidence again and seen nothing to actually make that reasonable.

Kent Nelson's body with the General's mind?

What?

I think he would want the inverse. ?

Now he is using World War Hulk as the mind instead of the General.

Hulk's mind with Fate's body?

That makes no sense what-so-ever.

Yeah. According to him, it's Hulk's mind that gives him his powers, and Fate's body that gives him his magic!

Seriously, check him out in the draft thread.

Kandy, stfu. That sort of thing is for in battles....especially since you're now giving him time to plan for it.

I know. I'm not bothering to argue it anymore.

Here, let's dead the argument

Evangel are powers determined by who's body and mind you are using?

Or do mergers automatically get all the powers from those amalgamated that don't stack (as well as the ability to use them as well as their amalgamated partners).

Will I need to specify that my body is Hulk's to get his strength and such

or is it assumed that with my body being Kent's he obtains Hulk's strength and such.

Fate's powers are still available to him based on the impression I got of how Amaglams work in this. There is one good reason to use WWH's mind that I can think of.

I need this clarified as well. If you get all powers and skill from both people, what is the difference between the mind and body categories?
