hellboy characters anyone!

[mqstout]

They all start in the church? That's wild. Spread 'em out? Or, were they designed for a scenario? You might also want to generic up the keywords a little. Pyrokinetic -> psychic. ... -> Spirit. ... -> Aquatic.

Sorty to be so critical -- I just like keeping customs within the same power level as the oficial heroes. I do like a lot of what you did! There are some pretty cool effects I hadn't seen or thought of before.

Hellboy
* Interesting concept, the "counts as 2 heroes" restriction. It makes him extra-cautious about "instant kill" zombie cards like Bitten.
* Some wording tweaks: "Hellboy may roll 1 exxtra Fight Dice per zombie in his space. He ignores the effects of Locked Door."
* With The Samaritan, it's a little bit against convention for the way Ammo is used. It works, though. I'd also note that it counts as a ranged attack.
* Some wording tweaks: basically copy the wording of Revolver here.

Liz
* It's very much against convention for a hero to have only 2 wounds and not youth. I'd certainly never want to play her because of this.
* Interesting ability, Pyrokinetic. I like it. It needs some wording tweaks "is killed".
* Fire wave: What if Liz has no items? (Wording: "all items" instead of "cards"; heroes don't have events -- players do.) Maybe make her take a wound (or two, after you move her up to 3 wounds) instead of losing her turn.

Johann
* Possession's fun! Does Johann's figure lose his moves when possessing? Maybe: "Johann may give up his move action to possess a zombie up to 5 spaces away. That zombie fights all others in its space. It has 2 fight dice."
* Ectoplasmic Blast: Just way too potent! Compare to the existing (and already known as good!) item Fire Extinguisher.

Abe
* So he as Becky's ability [but better], Johnny's ability [but better] AND has a card searching ability that I'd say is better than Jake's?
* Okay, so all four are a little bit stronger than the official heroes -- but even amongst only them, Abe wins.
* Suggestions: Make Telepathy make him own against zombie heroes. Psychometry: make him always have an ability similar to the Junkyard's? Axe First Aid.
