I didn't notice it before, but this PDF has the low-resolution going on too. Scapey, if you still have the base file for this, could you re-do the PDF now that you've taken care of the compression issue? You may want to go over any other ones that you still have the project file for too (like Buffy/Werewolf/Joker Goons), since they all seem to have the issue (it's more noticeable on some than others).

Am i the only one that thinks Frankenstein is too many points. His creature command isn't really that good with having to be engaged being such a slow walker, and his undead resilience doesn't go off near enough because with his 3 defense he's like swiss cheese and any half way decent roll goes over that 2 number or they just do one damage. Maybe if it healed for 2 and lower damage dealt or something. I feel like when his sword dealt the unblockable damage with blanks he was worth while, but that being removed severely weakened him. i think he could be better at some lower value. or better compensate for his low stats. like one in each his attack and defense might help justify his cost. I would pick ms marvel for 40 more points any day over him due to versatility. King pin is 220 with better stats and a better command ability. Well.... sorry about that rant.... I don't know what came over me.

He's much better in higher point games since some of the toughest units in the game are creatures. Also, Undead Resilience works almost every attack with such a low Defense and a high Life.

But we have lots of different designs for lots of different playstyles. And Frank may look better for 1000 point games after the rest of his Creature Commandoes get designed....

The bonding is a bit limited due to the need to be engaged, but there are ways to get him into the fight sooner. Angel or Hawkeye II can carry him up, I think Dr. Fate can teleport him. Then you just need to make sure you brought Red Hulk/Hulk/Abomination for your creature bonding option(s). Use super leap in order to minimize the number of OMs needed to get your bonding target(s) into range. I think that is why the bonding was made hard to pull off, because when you bond with an injured Hulk you are really throwing down a lot of offense. As more demons come on the scene, you will see his usefulness as a counter draft to those units up his profile some too. There are two event hero demons in the public design thread, I have a different demon hero design of my own that would add an additional demon to the board, and I've seen multiple demon squads go through play testing too.

well i suppose i'll continue to play with him and see how he does more. lol. i just feel like more often than nt he get put in a situation where he dies often. but trust me i see where his strengths lie. just 310 points is a lot to allocate to a paper thin target. I'm excited to see the creature commandoes,

In what way is he paper thin?
I have found him to be very durable and downright un-woundable at times. The number of wounds I have negated with UR is quickly reaching triple digits.

[quozl]

6 Attack vs. 6 Defense = 3 skulls vs. 2 shields on average = 1 wound on average

6 Attack vs. Frankenstein = 3 skulls vs. 1 shield on average = 2 wounds on average before UR brings that to 0 wounds.

7 Life, 3 Defense and a useful defensive power is not paper thin ... but if that's the only thing holding you back, play him with a defensive figure at his side like Bizarro or Jocasta.

[orgsbane]

If you play with him, you'll find that he will consistently block, or only take one wound. That's over 2 rounds of straight up bashing he can take from a single hero. (Which is mostly what is in C3G.) And, he will completely negate some of those rolls. He is one of the toughest figures in my collection, and he bonds with the other toughest figures in my collection. He is well worth his points!

i suppose i've just had considerably bad luck with him. I will try try again. probably tonight... we'll see if i don't come back glowing

[Ironpuppy13]

Alright, i take it all back. With frankenstein and a band of creatures, and wonder woman i was able to pretty effortlessly take down a band of lanterns.... and now i'm hooked on him. damn...
