TALK WITH THE ANIMALS
Instead of taking a turn with Dr. Dolittle, you may take a turn with any Arachnid, Insect or Beast unit you control.

THE GOOD DOCTOR
If Dr. Doolittle ends his turn adjacent to a Unique Arachnid, Insect or Beast Hero you control, you may remove up to two wound markers from that Hero's army card.
I like what you've got here. Though I'm not sure Beast should be one of the possibilities. Beast would include Ice Troll, Krug, Mimring, and the Swog Rider. Perhaps we should remove Beast and add Vipers and/or Wolves.
That is the problem I was running into before. "Beasts" seemed like the obvious choice but it doesn't include wolves (which are a really thematic match) and it does include figures that, thematically, don't really fit Dr. Dolittle. It was a really annoying problem. That is why I brought him here so that I wouldn't have to try to fix him.

So come on guys and fix him for me. :)

Being the 1st person to have a character (Simon Belmont) passed in the HoF thread, I am glad to see that this thread is still going strong. Once I get a working computer again, I hope to once agai participate in this project.

Perhaps the best way to handle it is to create some new units to go with him, with the class Animal. This way, we could design a Llama (no clowning intended), etc.

He could use a pushmi-pullyu

We'd be glad to have you back!

I think if we stick with the species and list Arachnids, Insects, Vipers, and Wolves we won't get too many odd pairings.

Working off of what Taeblewalker had:

It really doesn't make the text that much longer and covers all(?) the "animal" figures in Scape.

If we make it three figures moving in Walk with the Animals, the Doctor should be able to bring a whole squad with him as protection.

I like this idea to go along with also being able to control existing figures.

I was thinking you could use a children's farm/zoo animal figure set to make a small squad of animals they would be very low cost and would work well with the doctor.

Bears (2-3): with swipe attack, low attack, low defense, gain bonuses if Dr. D is within so many spaces.

Insect Swarm: low attack, high defense. Special abilty is Disruptive, can agitate adjacent enemies by lowering attack and defense.

Horses/Zebras/Elelphants: thinking of some sort of Carry ability for friendly units and stampede attack.

The more I think about it, this may be the way to go with the Doctor - create several simple animal hero and squad cards that go with him instead of trying to make his abilities fit with the "animal" Scape figures. Wolves of Badru make sense but not so much the Anubian Wolves.

If you guys seriously want to go the route of creating some animals to go with the Dr., I already happen to have several designed. I worked on a beastmaster custom a long time ago after getting a pack of animals at Michaels (the packs of animals are readily available at any place that sells stuff for model railroads and school project dioramas). I have a lion, a rhino, a bear, and a couple of others; I'll have to try to dig up the designs.

That would be great, LC. I once made a falcon squad. If we make the class animals for all of them, that would free up species.

Yes, I really think it would be much more thematic to have the Doctor talking to "real" animals. The larger animals could be uniques (if they match a creature from the stories) or uncommon heroes. Smaller animals could be squads like Taeblewalker refers to with his Falcon squad.

Exactly! And that should keep any funky synergies to a minimum.

A falcon squad would be awesome to have.

I found my old designs for the animals. They were very simple designs that all used already existing abilities, nothing terribly exciting.

That's a great start, LC! Let's finish Dr. Doolittle then work on these.

--------------
I've finished making all the playtesting cards. While I was at it, I went through and updated all the previous cards. I've changed a few images and hit zones. Please let me know if you find any errors or notice anything that needs to be edited.
