The Book of Judge Hershey
 

_________________________________________________________________

Character Bio - Hershey joined the Academy of Law when she was five and, incidentally, has had the same hairstyle ever since. As a fourteen-year-old cadet, Hershey was informed that she had been selected to be fast-tracked for the strategies division of Justice Department. She declined the offer. Warned a year later that her marksmanship skills were not good enough for her to be a street Judge, she practissed until, in her final assessment, she came within three points of beating Rico Dredd's all-time record.
Hershey had barely graduated from the Academy of Law when she was chosen to join Judge Dredd and the crew of Justice 1 on The Judge Child Quest. Hershey aquited herself well on the mission and returned to Mega-City One as a street Judge, later working with Dredd again during The Apocalypse War and was also prominent in the fight against millions of zombies during the city's so-called Judgement Day.
Hershey eventually rose to become the youngest ever member of Mega-City One's ruling Council of Five. Hershey was elected Chief Judge outright in 2122 AD. Under her leadership, thanks to Dredd's persuasion, it was made legal for rad-mutants to live in Mega-City One.

CHIEF JUDGE
After revealing a numbered Order Marker on this card and instead of taking a turn with Judge Hershey, you may either take a turn with any other Hero you control that is a Judge or Lawman, or move up to 8 Heroes you control that are Judges or Lawmen. Criminals roll 1 fewer defense die against Judge Hershey’s attacks.

HEAVY ORDNANCE
For the entire game, all Judge figures you control may use the Lawgiver Armour Piercing Round Special Attack.

LAWGIVER ARMOUR PIERCING ROUND SPECIAL ATTACK
Range Special. Attack 6.
Choose 6 spaces in a straight line from Judge Hershey. All figures on those spaces are affected by this special attack. Roll attack dice once for all affected figures. Roll defense dice for the figure closest to Judge Hershey. If that figure receives a wound, roll defense dice for the next closest figure. Continue rolling defense until no wounds are inflicted or all affected figures have rolled for defense. This special attack may only be used by this figure once per round.

Whoa, this design slays! She is gonna be more than 200 no? Unless we are trying to keep her undercosted slightly to help boost Dredd? Excited about this write up!

Re: The Book Judge Hershey (Judgemental Sighs)
 

I figured Judge Who would help to keep her cost down. Hard to say really. She is fairly fragile and does not give out bonding, I really only worry about the Beat Cops but we can tweak it as needed.

Re: The Book Judge Hershey (Judgemental Sighs)
 

I like it! But shouldn't this Thread be here?

Re: The Book Judge Hershey (Judgemental Sighs)
 

Yes it should, Bats can you move this for me, again. :)

Re: The Book Judge Hershey (Judgemental Sighs)
 

Looks bloody awesome! :)
I imagine all that free Lawman movement is going to make Beat Cops a really popular choice as meat-shields for your Judges - is that intentional?

Re: The Book Judge Hershey (Judgemental Sighs)
 

Not really, originally I had excluded them with Unique only but I wanted to see it like this first. We can still tweak that if needed.

Re: The Book Judge Hershey (Judgemental Sighs)
 

Notably, I do think that that will add a lot of strength to the Judge faction, which is a good thing, if you consider it thematic enough.
I reckon a power moving 6 figures if they're all Unique Heroes will end up feeling a bit needlessly excessive.

Re: The Book Judge Hershey (Judgemental Sighs)
 

I toyed with a few variations, one being able to move all Judge and Lawman figures. :)

Re: The Book Judge Hershey (Judgemental Sighs)
 

I was hoping you'd run Hershey eventually! I like it. Armor Piercing seems very powerful, and the sharing special attacks is really cool. Should help out the Judges a lot.
