The Significance of Seeing and Scarlett Witch's Relationship in Marvel Comics

In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, two powerful characters often associated with supernatural abilities are Vision and Scarlet Witch. These characters have developed a close relationship over time in the comics and on-screen. Both characters possess unique powers and together they make a formidable team. Vision, created by Ultron using the body of the android named J.A.R.

Players create the perfect team using five Heroes and one Companion to win. Using Gold, Hero EXP, and Soul Pieces, players can enhance abilities and increase the level of Heroes and Companions.

Seems fairly balanced except for the fact that it does this at first level, while magic missile scales with level and requires 9 levels for max damage. I d probably allow someone to throw them like a Shuriken, with only one being able to hit with the potential to do a critical, the other two just along for the ride.

How many magic stones can you throw?

The text states the stones are pebbles. So how many pebbles can you throw in one round? Logically, you should be able to throw quite a few, almost as many as you can hold in one hand.

But from a rules standpoint, it stands to reason only one per attack, which is kind of stupid. I can throw a handful of rocks and hit a man-sized target from 20 feet easily.

Leon the profi: There is rulezz.

Yeah one per round (assuming one attack by BAB). With Rapid Shot two. With Ambi and Twoweapon three.

If that makes sense: Ask me how many arrows I can shoot in 6 seconds. Do I have Rapid Shot?

Arrows are a whole different animal. So you're saying, I can't throw a handful of gravel at someone?
I must throw one pebble at a time? If that's the case, then the same logic would mean you couldn't throw sand in someone's face except one grain at a time.

I'm not trying to be belligerent, just trying to figure out why you can't chunk three stones as one attack.

Cause if you wanna hurt someone with a pebble, you gotta hit where it hurts. That means, armour will greatly reduce your chance. You can't just hurl a load of pebbles at a guy in full platemail and expect him to drop like a virgin.

Yes, but that's no ordinary rabbit! Uh, wait, wrong topic.

These are not ordinary pebbles. From the phb: "they strike with great force when thrown. "

I'd say a hand ful of gravels could be thrown at a guy in plate. They'd just do no damage. Magic stones, however, do 1d6+1, so, if you can throw a handful of non-magical pebbles, you should be able to throw a handful of magical ones, no?

Is there a rule clarification on this? We can discuss this till we're blue in the face, but I wondered if there was an official ruling. I could email the sage, but I'd be 90 before I got a reply. Plus, I'm lazy.

You can indeed use them as sling bullets. But a sling is like a bow, there is only room for one stone or arrow. A hand, however, can hold and throw more than one object at once.

I dunno about 10, but 3 sounds reasonable. I guess I'm misinterpreting the text. "Strike with great force" sounds to me like you just toss them and they impact a lot harder than normal. Kinda like a 90 pound weakling throwing them, but they hit as if Randy Johnson had chunked them at you.

Take 3 golf balls(about the right size for sling bullets), and throw them with one hand. Can you get them to go the way you want them too? No, my guess is that you can't get even 1 to hit what you want to hit. Also, you can't throw them all as hard.

Like a Shuriken?

Do not forget that Shuriken are exotic weapons BECAUSE you throw 3 at a time. If that was something you could do with sling bullets (or anything else for that matter) there would be little point.

I always imagined Magic Stone as something of a force multiplier. You might put X amount of force into that sling bullet, but your magic stone spell will make it hit with 2 or 3X instead. If you don't actually chuck it at a weak spot with enough force, magic stone won't do anything for you.

I guarantee you, I can hit a man-sized target with three golfballs from twenty feet. Sling bullets, however, are much smaller than a golf ball - about the size of a twenty-sider, maybe slightly larger.

Do you throw all three golfballs at once or in rapid repetition? Cause I can throw three shuriken at once and they hit due to some magical property called aerodynamics, but I cannot do the same with three small pebbles or d20s.

Yes, I throw d20s at players now and then

I don't think the spell intended a first level cleric to be able to do 6d6+6 damage to a skeleton or zombie in one round. I allow one stone per attack. If you get two attacks per round, you can throw two stones (or sling two stones).

well, none of those hits are garunteed are they? you still actually have to hit with the stones.

apologies o Dark one i try not to be too repeative by saying the same thing over and over and over and . nevermind . how about this:

coming from a culture that seems to grow every child as an expert marksman in stone throwing (St.Lucia . i kid you not!) i most certainly can throw three stones in six seconds at a man sized target 20 feet away and likely hit with all three of them. all at once or in rapid succession.

hell, i used to throw stones at the slim trunk of a coconut tree some 50-60 odd feet away and hit about 75% of the time . keep in mind these were the ordinary variety, not the magical ones enchanted to hit easier or harder

They're thrown weapons and there's no special rule for it, so, by default, you can throw one per attack you can make in the round.

Since they're so tiny, I'd see nothing horribly wrong, conceptually, with throwing all three at once like a set of shurikens. Of course, you'd only get any damage bonuses due to STR, point blank shot, etc, /once/, as with shuriken. I'd seriously consider changing the durration to 1 round, though, if I allowed that, so you couldn't go pre-creating dozens of the things and tossing hadfuls of them. If you wanted to create them as sling-bullets, the regular durration'd be fine, though.

Ok, for what it's worth, I performed the following experiment:

I took 3 golf balls and from twenty feet or so, threw them all at once with one arm motion at a target drawn in chalk at the back of the shop. Every time I hit with the middle golf ball striking about where I intended. There was not much difference between that and a single thrown ball. The other two seemed to strike a bit higher and lower, respectively than the center one. I didn't try it with twenty-siders cuz its not worth losing dice over!

Anyway, it seems to me that it is easily done with at most a -2 to the extra two shots. Call it a minus two to all three to keep in line with twf and rapid shot.

However, that brings us back to the question of balance. Logically, it can be done, but D&D is not a logical game. Is it too powerful for a first level spell? Well, magic missile does up to 5d4+5, this one does a max of 3d6+3 and requires three to hit rolls. Also, like shuriken, any strength bonus or extra dice should be applied only once. Seems fairly balanced except for the fact that it does this at first level, while magic missile scales with level and requires 9 levels for max damage.

S., is often described as a synthetic being with a vibranium-laced body and an artificial mind gem embedded in his forehead. He possesses superhuman strength, density manipulation, the ability to fly, and the power of energy projection. Vision's artificial mind allows him to process information at an incredibly fast rate, making him one of the most intelligent characters in the Marvel universe. On the other hand, Scarlet Witch, also known as Wanda Maximoff, is a mutant with the ability to manipulate reality to a great extent. She can alter probabilities, create energy blasts, levitate objects, and even reshape reality itself. Scarlet Witch's powers are rooted in chaos magic, making her one of the most powerful characters in the Marvel universe. In the comics, Vision and Scarlet Witch have a complex and often tragic love story. They married and had children, but their happiness was short-lived as it was revealed that their children were actually fragments of the demon Mephisto. This revelation led to the dissolution of their relationship and a long period of separation. On-screen, the relationship between Vision and Scarlet Witch has been explored in the Marvel Cinematic Universe through movies like "Avengers: Age of Ultron" and "Avengers: Infinity War". In "Age of Ultron", Scarlet Witch joined the Avengers and formed a bond with Vision, as they were both new members of the team. Their connection grew stronger in "Infinity War" when they fought side by side and displayed their powers in tandem. However, tragedy struck again when Vision became the target of Thanos, who wanted to extract the mind gem from his forehead. In a heartbreaking scene, Scarlet Witch was forced to destroy the mind gem and kill Vision in order to prevent Thanos from obtaining it. This moment showcased the depth of their love, as Scarlet Witch had to sacrifice her love in order to save the universe. Despite Vision's death, there have been hints and teases that he may return in some form, potentially reuniting with Scarlet Witch. The upcoming Disney+ series "WandaVision" is set to explore their relationship further, suggesting that their story is far from over. In conclusion, Vision and Scarlet Witch are two powerful characters in the Marvel universe with a complex and tragic love story. Their unique abilities and strong connection make them an intriguing duo, and their journey has captivated audiences in both the comics and the Marvel Cinematic Universe..

Reviews for "The Redemption Arc of Seeing and Scarlett Witch: From Villain to Hero"

1. John - 2/5

I have to say, I was quite disappointed with "Seeing and Scarlet Witch". The show felt slow-paced and dragged on for too long. The plot was confusing and lacked proper development, leaving me feeling disconnected from the characters. The action sequences were few and far between, and when they did happen, they were underwhelming. Overall, I found the show to be dull and unsatisfying.

2. Emily - 1/5

I don't even know where to begin with "Seeing and Scarlet Witch". The storyline was all over the place and didn't make much sense. It felt like the creators were trying too hard to be unique and ended up losing sight of what made superheroes interesting in the first place. The dialogue was cringe-worthy at times, and the acting didn't do much to redeem it. I found myself losing interest within the first few episodes and had to force myself to finish the series. Definitely not worth the hype.

3. Mark - 2/5

I had high expectations for "Seeing and Scarlet Witch" but was ultimately let down. The show tried to explore complex themes and introduce new elements to the Marvel universe, but it felt disjointed and convoluted. The chemistry between the two main characters seemed forced, and their motivations were unclear. While there were a few interesting moments, they were overshadowed by the overall lackluster execution. I wouldn't recommend this show to die-hard Marvel fans, as it falls short of expectations.

4. Sarah - 2/5

I found "Seeing and Scarlet Witch" to be a disappointing addition to the Marvel franchise. The plot lacked depth and failed to engage me emotionally. The characters felt one-dimensional and lacked development, making it difficult to invest in their journeys. The visual effects were decent, but they couldn't salvage the underwhelming story. Overall, the show felt like a missed opportunity to explore the potential of these beloved characters and left me unsatisfied.
