To boost Aura + 1 (And Magic Blast/Magic Shield +1) costs 150HP

That gives me 90HP to spend.  Can we raise martial arts a point or two with that?  If not, I'm sure I can spend it later in game.  

Posts crossed.

Martial Artist +1 (to 3) gives no benefit at all. +2 to 4 costs 120HP and grants an extra die. Your call. Better off pumping up Dex (70HP) I would have thought.

and they listed him as a mid-level character instead of high level. Probably because he has basic hero stats and no real other powers

Hmm ... I guess after Miss Victory's problems, I have a fear of being powerless and martial arts being my only defense/attack option, unless he starts carrying a pistol or rifle. But being a bit less easier to hit is a good thing too. Let's add in the Dex then and get Martial Arts some other day.

Amulet was "temporary" anyways. His plan was to return it and then go back and forth from there to free a new hero every few weeks or month, to give him and OOP time to set up something to reintegrate these out of time heroes. At least, that was his original plan. Now? Who knows?
