DR. MOREAU
Human

Medium 5

Life 5

Range 1
Attack 2
Defense 3

VIVISECTION
All Animal, Wolf, and Viper figures you control now have the class of Man-Beast. All Man-Beasts you control adjacent to Dr. Moreau add 1 die to their attack and 1 die to their defense. If Dr. Moreau is destroyed, all Man-beasts you control regain their original Class and do not receive any extra attack or defense dice from Vivisection.

LAW GIVER
After revealing an order marker on this card, you may first move and attack with up to 2 Man-Beast Hero figures you control or 1 Man-beast Squad you control. When defending with Dr. Moreau, add 1 to his defense for each Man-beast you control adjacent to him.

NATURE UNCONTROLLED 20
After taking a turn with Dr. Moreau, if there are any Man-Beasts adjacent to Dr. Moreau, roll the 20-sided die. If you roll a 20 or higher, Dr. Moreau receives 1 unblockable wound for each adjacent Man-Beast you control.

I don't believe "or higher" is necessary here judgeing by the text for Mitonsoul. You may want to remove it. Just my :2cents:.

There has been debate over that in the customs community becuase of d20 boosting figures. Rules lawyers really get on my nerves and some rules lawyers say that if you roll a 20 and it gets boosted by an adjacent figure to 21, the result isn't 20 so the effect doesn't happen.

Personally, I thinnk that is a bunch of hog-wash. The intent of the power is clear. Anyhow, that is the purpose of the "or higher". I am good going with precedent of official powers as you have pointed out, though, and letting rules lawyers whine all they want about it.

Just pointing out what other's might complain about. Don't shoot the messenger... :surrender:

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread

The current wording of "or higher" is better for the stated reasons.

"...or higher..." is fine with me. After all, Rules Lawyers are like Hydra. Kill one and two more take its place.

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread

nice design there LC. Dr. Moreau seems a little crazed. Mayhap he would fit better under Valkrill or Utgar. Just a thought

I liked this one, even with the "or higher".

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread

I like him. If every one else is good with him, I'm good.

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread

I'd call this one a wrap. LC can't really be on much anymore. We'll need an art guy to finish him up.

jcminins is next. Then me!

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread

In that case: :thumbsup:.

The art guy is working on it. What about points?

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread

:duh:

Premature thumbs up.

As for points, somewhere between 100-120? He seems to be along the lines of Kurrok, MDG and the Venoc Warlord.
