Re: Filthy the Clown's Customs - Gladiator Hero

After some playtesting last night, I like the 5 life/4 defense combo a bit better than the 6 life/3 defense combo. At 110, I still think that it is justified. Why?

-All of the Gladiators, besides Spartacus, have a base defense of 3. However, the nature of Priscus, as well as his point cost, warrants an increase of defense (while taking a hit in Life: reducing him to 5 life keeps the extra defense in check).

-Let's compare his stats to some of the other 110ish point heroes:

Code:
Name     Life         Move         Range        Attack       Defense      Bonding
Alastair     6          5            1            5              3           Yes
Migol        5          5            1            2              4           Yes
Laglor       6          5            7            3              3            No
Valguard     7          5            1            2              4           Yes
Gilbert      6          5            1            3              4           Yes
Stats-wise, the most comparable match to Priscus seems to be Gilbert (who bonds, boosts adjacent knights, and offers a mobility boost via Jandar's Dispatch; he also has one more life point). Since Priscus's Taste of Freedom attack boost (attack aura of range 3) trumps Gilbert's adjacent boost, it makes sense that he should cost more (well, more than the 5 point cost differential), or have reduced stats. My solution:
  • Remove one life point from Priscus
  • Add one defense point (more in line with a shield-based attack)
  • Remove one attack point (base attack of 3: comparable to Capuan Gladiators, but helps to offset the attack boost that he gives them.
So, the new stats for Priscus are:
Life 5
Move 5
Range 1
Attack 3
Defense 4
