_________________________________________________________________

Character Bio - Tyrannosaurs are a species of large carnivorous dinosaurs that live in the Cursed Earth, primarily Sauron Valley. Most tyrannosaurs were brought back to life in the late 2000's in a scientific experiment to try and clone Dinosaurs from fossils. Most of them were donated to various wildlife parks but managed to escape from captivity during the Atomic Wars. Many dinosaurs, including tyrannosaurs, made their home in Sauron Valley. The black tyrannosaur Satanus quickly dominated the other tyrannosaurs and became their leader. It was now up to the tyrannosaurs to make new dinosaurs the traditional way. These amorous activities resulted in fresh tyrannosaurs eager to prove themselves. (slightly modified from the Judge Dredd Fandom Wiki page) .

Great stuff here! I am happy with the Crushing Jaws choice.


EDIT: I moved this thread over from the base forum to Public Designs.

[Tornado]

I dropped the Life and Defense and made them Young to justify. I am thinking about a Juvenile T-Rex from Hobby Lobby for the figure.

[Yodaking]

I still prefer a defense of 3 here so he can reasonably be expected to block some 3 die attacks. With just one straight forward power and some okay stats, I don't see why he can't still hit 100 or fewer points. Weather Wizard, Armor, and Mister Zsasz are all 100 point figures with some nice tricks up there sleeve.

[Lazy Orang]

Yeah, 3 defence seems fine here, to me.

[johnny139]

I'm not sure if I love "Young" as a class. Like, yeah, they're small, but with wildlife we've sort of played fast and loose with sizes and that sort of thing. I'd like to keep these guys as generic as possible, to maximize their scenario potential.

And I'll put in another pitch for a no-power card. I like this ability for a T-Rex, but I don't think "lean and simple T-Rex" has quite as much excitement or pop as "wow, no powers!" on a new card.

[Tornado]

You know I am cool with no powers, I just do not have the energy to debate it with people.

[IAmBatman]

If we're polling, put me down as in favor of the current power over no powers.

I had this for an old write-up:

Spoiler Alert!

NAME = Savage Land Tyrannosaurus Rex

SPECIES = Tyrannosaurus Rex
UNIQUENESS = Uncommon Hero
CLASS = Beast
PERSONALITY = Wild
SIZE/HEIGHT = ?

LIFE = 3
MOVE = 5
RANGE = 1
ATTACK = 5
DEFENSE = 4
POINTS = ?

SMASH UNDERFOOT
At any point while moving, this Savage Land Tyrannosaurus Rex may choose a small or medium figure that is adjacent and on a space where this Savage Land Tyrannosaurus Rex may end its movement. Roll the 20-sided die. If you roll 1–7, this Savage Land Tyrannosaurus Rex’s movement ends. If you roll 8–20, the chosen figure receives one wound.

DINO-BITE 14
Before attacking, you may choose one figure adjacent to this Savage Land Tyrannosaurus Rex. If the chosen figure is a Squad figure, destroy it. Otherwise, roll the 20-sided die. Subtract 2 from the roll if the chosen figure has Super Strength. If you roll 14 or higher, the chosen figure receives 2 wounds.

SAVAGE LAND FRENZY 14
After taking a turn with this Savage Land Tyrannosaurus Rex, if its engaged, you may roll the 20-sided die. Add 2 to your roll for each wounded hero adjacent this Savage Land Tyrannosaurus Rex. If you roll 14 or higher, you may take an additional turn with any other figure you control with The Savage Land Frenzy special power or a Tyrannosaurus Rex that is within clear sight of this Savage Land Tyrannosaurus Rex. Savage Land Frenzy can only be used if you revealed an Order Marker on a card with this special power at the beginning of your turn.

Super Strength

Don't feel like you need to use any ideas from it, just thought I would drop it in here if you wanted to pull ideas. Though I'm a little partial to Savage Land Frenzy.

On the current design itself, I like the idea keeping it simple, not sure on no powers though. Not a fan on Young as class, it just feels weird (Devourer?). I see some people mentioning bumping defense, I would only be in favor of that if life came down; T-Rex aren't hard to hit/wound, just takes some work to take them down.

[Margloth]

I think I would prefer Juvenile to Young for the class. Crushing jaws seems a little off to me as it feels like he should actually have to “catch” you with a bite and then the crushing takes place. Maybe something like this?

ATTACK = 4

CRUSHING JAWS
After an adjacent figure rolls defense dice, if that figure would receive 1 or more wounds from this Savage Land Tyrannosaur’s attack, all skulls rolled during that attack count for an additional hit.

Maybe that’s overcomplicating things, but I like that if he catches even just a piece of you, he clamps down and suddenly you’re facing a catastrophic injury instead of a flesh wound.
