The Book of Killer Bee

[johnny139]

Yeah, but it's A) an auto-wound (which seems REALLY powerful for a tiny bee) and B) a debilitating, multi-wounding poison (which doesn't seem very bee-like at all).

Nothing in the power Poison Sting 14 seems to fit a bee. Maybe make it dependent on inflicting a wound normally and I can get behind it. Something like this:

BEE STING
If this Bee inflicts one or more wounds with its normal attack, you may destroy this Bee and the defending figure receives one additional wound.

I like that a lot Johnny. As one who used to kill insects as a profession, that looks like a lot of fun to me.

FTW

I like that and the idea of these as Honeybees

What do you think about dropping the option part?

I like that idea johnny. Yoda, I think its better to leave it as a choice, otherwise if you put the last wound on a figure, you lose your bee without getting the benefit of the extra wound.

EDIT: updated with Bee Sting and final name

How is the bee inflicting a wound if not with it's stinger?

I like auto-killing it if it is to be a bee, and adjust the point cost appropriately, FWIW.

Also, if this is going to have to wound to get the sting, it's pretty much limited to killing 1 wound figures with an attack of 1 anyways, right?

They can bite also I believe.

No bee I know of can bite a person. Their jaws aren't strong enough.

I'm not saying it would be the end of the world, just that it looks like a(n unnecessary?) theme break.

Bee's don't necessarily have their stingers pulled out - a bee can sting without sacrificing themselves, but if they really dig in and get the stinger stuck then they're done for. Thematically it would represent a light prick that, if you're so inclined, can increase in severity at the loss of a bee.

With an attack of one, I don't think there's really a danger of these guys wounding anyone anyway, or using their stinging special power, so should be a moot point most of the time. Especially since at Tiny 1, they can never have height advantage.

I think this one is really going to disappoint in playtesting.
