How about giving them a death strike ability.
Lasting burn: When a (blazing firecat) receives enough wounds to be destroyed, before removing that (blazing firecat) you may attack every figure adjacent the (blazing fire cat). Roll attack dice separately for each figure. Add an additional attack die for each previously destroyed (blazing fire cat). |
Re: [Pod 1] UNIT NAME (Blazing Firecats) - Design
Out of turn attacks are generally avoided so they don't create weird interactions or loops. If you want to go that direction, you could model it after Dying Swipe from the Frost Giant.
For consideration, here's an early draft of powers that was partially discussed in the Discord: FIRST STRIKE When Order Marker 1 is revealed on the [Blazing Firecats], add 2 to their Move number and 1 extra attack die for that turn. Borrowed from the Varkaanan Swiftfangs, it also pays homage to their Magic roots. WATER WEAKNESS A [Blazing Firecat] on a water space rolls 2 fewer defense dice. Alternatively "Negative Element" from the Fire Elemental that completely eliminates their Defense on water. LAVA RESISTANT [Blazing Firecats] never roll for molten lava damage or lava field damage and they do not have to stop in molten lava spaces. This one kinda feels like a must-include. |
Re: [Pod 1] UNIT NAME (Blazing Firecats) - Design
Small idea - it was brought up by long eared bat that they could be Moltarns.
|
Re: [Pod 1] UNIT NAME (Blazing Firecats) - Design
Moltarns as a species means they'd be native to Valhalla, which is interesting. Seems like a pretty good idea.
I'm not sure why, but some kind of vengeance power like Long Eared Bat suggested seems very appropriate here to me. I had been tossing around something that lets you temporarily bring back your destroyed Firecats every time you take a turn with them, but I'm not sure that's particularly workable. My main concern is that getting one revenge attack for each firecat seems very strong, and I worry about designing a unit that's only real purpose is to charge in and die. I'll mull this over for a bit and see if I come up with anything. |
Re: [Pod 1] UNIT NAME (Blazing Firecats) - Design
What about this: At the start of the firecats turn, each firecat may attack an additional time for each previously destroyed firecat.

Re: [Pod 1] UNIT NAME (Blazing Firecats) - Design
I like the ideas tossed around here so far! Here's something else, just for consideration:
BLAZING FIRECATS 1 Life 6 Move 1 Range 2 Attack 2 Defense Dying Flame The Blazing Firecats start the game with four Flaming counters on their army card. The Blazing Firecats get +1 Attack and Defense for every Flaming counter on their card. After taking a turn with the Blazing Firecats and after the end of every round, remove a Flaming counter from their army card. The Flame Rekindled At the start of every round, before rolling for initiative, you may roll the d20. If you roll a ?15? or higher, you may place up to four flaming counters on this card. This card can hold a maximum of four flaming counters. The specific mechanics could be fine tuned, but I think the general concept could be fun. The closest comparison I think would be the Anubians. Maybe too high variance, but that also feels kinda appropriate for a fire based squad. |

Re: [Pod 1] UNIT NAME (Blazing Firecats) - Design
I also do not like making them Moltarn. Wolves aren't Humans. Worse, these do not look like Moltarn, which are rocky.
|
Re: [Pod 1] UNIT NAME (Blazing Firecats) - Design
I agree with Scytale. Despite them being fiery, they do not look like Moltarns at all, and it would be a stretch to call them that. Considering that it wouldn't do much other than open the way for some loose Moltarn synergy in the future, I don't see a compelling excuse for it.
