Agreed.

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

These are some pretty wise men. Basically, rolling an attack when it is not your turn is a complete no-no by the official designers. This was stated by GBob. That doesn't mean you can't roll unblockable attack dice, only that you shouldn't be making a normal or Special Attack when it isn't your turn. Otherwise, looping can occur.

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

How about...

COUNTER ATTACK
When defending against an attack from an adjacent figure, Inigo may roll as many defense dice as the attacking figure does attack dice. When rolling... [insert Counterstrike text here].

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

Problem with that is, Inigo attacks someone with a lower Attack then he has Defense and gets screwed. Honestly guys, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. K.I.S.S. ;)

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

I'm not following your objection.

Inigo gets attacked with 5 attack dice by an adjacent figure he can choose to roll 5 defense dice. He gets attacked with 2 attack dice by an adjacent fig he can choose to roll his normal defense. Seems pretty simple to me, but I may be missing the point you are making.

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

Great choice! but i would likevto change six figured man. maybe change it to +1against tricky. I know this is themed but there are very few heroscape figures that have an an ability thAt pertains to a perticular figure. most abilities are more general.

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

What you have there does not say that, or does not say it clearly enough. The fact remains, IMHO, Counterstrike, by itself, more than covers what the intent for Indigo is. I think leave well enough alone and be done with it.

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

I don't know what the intent for Indigo is, but it works pretty well for Inigo. :p

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

I have to disagree, but, whatever, it isn't a hill to die on. :D
Moving on...

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

Let's get Machinekng's draft. :D

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

Inigo Montoya
Fights for Einar

Human
Unique Hero
Duelist
Dedicated
Medium 5

Life 4
Move 6
Range 1
Attack 4
Defense 5


MY NAME IS INIGO MONTOYA 17
When Inigo receives enough wounds to be destroyed by an attack from an adjacent unique hero, you may roll the 20-sided die before removing him. If you roll a 17 or higher, ignore all skulls rolled by the attacking hero. You may add 2 to the die roll for each wound marker on this army card.

YOU KILLED MY FATHER
At the start of the game, choose one opponent's unique hero. When attackingthe chosen hero with Inigo, you mayroll two additional dice.

PREPARE TO DIE!
When rolling defense dice against an attack from an adjacent attacking figure, all excess sheilds count as unblockable hits on the opposing figure.


Okay.

My Name is Inigo Montoya is slightly harder to get than the suggested wound-negation abilities, but this wording would allow Inigo to give that figure Counterstrike damage.

Prepare to Die is a Modified Counterstrike that also affects special attacks.

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

Zombies of Morindan. Ashigaru Yari.

Both have special attacks that allow them to attack with 3 figures at once. Which one would get the unblockable hits?

Either leave it "normal attack" like Counter Strike, or make the wording "a SINGLE adjacent attacking figure" a la C3G's Batman (so it CAN affect special attacks, but not those by multiple figures).
