The Book of Godzilla

[Tornado]

What points are we going for here?
I could see his Life being much higher, like 30.

[tcglkn]

Yea I do not mind the low defense/high life thing going on. Setting the right starting life on these types of designs can be tricky though.

[Lord Pyre]

I don't feel quite as strongly as Johnny, but I guess I don't see why we can't raise it? What about my suggestions for a bigger attack but his trample was instead of attacking?

[quozl]

OK, it looks like we need some actual play feedback. I propose we move to initial testing.

P.S. What are your points estimates?

[tcglkn]

Yea, hopefully Bats can chime in here with his calculator estimate, he's gotten pretty good at it. Though we have learned it overvalues high life figures.

[Tornado]

You can look at Old One Eye for a high Life, low Defense example.
Dinos are going to hate Godzilla.

I'll Nay here - don't love the Godzilla Jr. size but I've said my piece there. But a Godzilla with the same base attack and durability as Spider-Man just doesn't make sense to me, even with justifications given, and I'd call it a pretty serious error.

[quozl]

Do you mean he can attack instead of moving? That seems fine to me.

Something like this?

KING OF THE MONSTERS
If Godzilla did not move this turn, add 4 attack dice to his normal attack. If Godzilla attacks a Huge figure or a destructible object with his normal attack, add 4 attack dice.

[tcglkn]

I like that.

[Lord Pyre]

I meant this:

Godzilla may move through and never takes leaving engagement attacks from figures that are not huge. After moving, you may roll 2 unblockable attack dice against each figure Godzilla moved through, and if Godzilla moved through any destructible objects, destroy them. If you do, Godzilla cannot attack this turn.

Or something like that.

But your suggestion is cool, too. Would you raise his base attack like Johnny wants?

[quozl]

My new version has you rolling 4 attack if you move, 8 attack if you don't. And against Huge or DOs, you roll 8 attack if you move, and 12 attack if you don't.

So they are meant to stack...I think I missed that in first reading. Maybe


KING OF THE MONSTERS
You may add 4 attack dice to Godzilla's normal attack for each of the following:
• If Godzilla did not move this turn
• If Godzilla attacks a Huge figure or a destructible object.
