Character Bio - They have spent their entire existence underground living in a world that most of us did not even know exists. This underworld is simply known as Subterranea and its people are called Moloids. They are an ancient race that has existed underground for centuries with tunnels that span the entire world. Though they keep to themselves in relative peace, they do not take kindly to any surface dweller who would dare to enter their domain.

• They should Bond with whatever the heck Mole Man's class is
• Common Squad of 3
• Move of 6, and you can move up to 6 in a turn, but if you do, they would then have a move of 4 instead, call it Swarm
• A new scatter where if one is killed, you can move a couple immediately

[IAmBatman]

I think they should have Hide in Darkness and a bonding power with Moleman and call it a day.

[Hahma]

Some bonding with Mole Man

Relatively cheap and do better in underground DnD maps, Hide In Darkness.

Regardless of squad size 3 or 4, there needs to be a lot of them for the swarming affect that will eat up opponent's attacks trying to keep up.

[Spidey'tilIDie]

I think he should be a scientist. That is how he became Moleman.


EDIT: Oops! Wrong thread.

[NecroBlade]

Wait, when did this whole LD change thing come about?

I'm good with Hide in Darkness, but maybe add a little more to it so Moloid Power::Hide in Darkness as Amphibious::Slither?

Also, a Marro Drone-like swarm power would be good. Roll 1-A, move/attack with 3. Roll (A+1)-B, 6. (B+1)-20, 9.

[IAmBatman]

Check the main Fantastic Four thread for details ...

[IAmBatman]

So now that Mole Man is looking pretty solid, these guys can be made to fit him.
Since "pushing the limitations of the game" is kind of our thing, any thought on giving these guys low stats but making them something crazy like a squad of 5 or 6?

[Hahma]

Edit: deleted group Moloid pix

[NecroBlade]

I could go with 5, I think.

[IAmBatman]

I think it's a fun experiment. Heck, hero bonding squads of four are usually more powerful than squads of 5 would be anyway.

[GreyOwl]

5 sounds cool.
