The Book of Sabretooth
The Book of Sabretooth C3G MARVEL WAVE 8 THE MUTANT MENACE Mini PDF The figure used for this unit is a Heroclix figure from the Infinity Challenge set. Its model number and name are #055-057 / Sabretooth. Its model number and name are #167 / Victor Creed. The figure used for this unit is a Heroclix figure from the Universe set. Its model number and name are #005, 079-081 / Sabretooth. Character Bio - Sabretooth is a mutant who possesses bestial superhuman abilities, most notably a rapid healing factor, razor-sharp fangs and claws, and superhuman senses. He is a vicious assassin responsible for numerous deaths both as a paid mercenary and for his personal pleasure. While both Wolverine and Sabretooth were victims of the supersoldier program Weapon X, Sabretooth saw Wolverine as competition and tried to make his life miserable. Creed eventually adopts a tradition of tracking Logan down on his birthday with the intention of fighting him. Sabretooth has always managed to find him, no matter where Logan was or what he was doing, and come within an inch of killing him. Sabretooth's only reason for this is to remind Wolverine that he could. _________________________________________________________________ -Rulings and Clarifications-

Re: Sabretooth - Design Phase
NAME = SABRETOOTH
SECRET IDENTITY = VICTOR CREED SPECIES = MUTANT UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO CLASS = OUTCAST PERSONALITY = VICIOUS SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5 LIFE = 7 MOVE = 6 RANGE = 1 ATTACK = 5 DEFENSE = 5 POINTS = 290 FERAL INSTINCT If Sabretooth destroys an opponent's figure with a normal or special attack, he may move up to 1 space and attack again with a normal attack. For each subsequent normal attack with Feral Instinct, roll 1 fewer attack die. DEVASTATING POUNCE SPECIAL ATTACK Range Special. Attack 6. Choose a non-adjacent figure within 4 clear sight spaces whose base is not higher or lower than 6 levels from the base of Sabretooth. Before attacking, place Sabretooth adjacent to the chosen figure. If the chosen figure is destroyed by this special attack, immediately place Sabretooth on a space that was occupied by the chosen figure. If the figure is not destroyed, Sabretooth receives one wound. When Sabretooth is moved by this special attack, he will take any leaving engagement attacks. HEALING FACTOR X After taking a turn with Sabretooth, remove one Wound Marker from this card. At the end of the round, you may reveal an "X" Order Marker on this card to remove one Wound Marker from each Army Card you control with the Healing Factor X special power. Original Post:
Spoiler Alert!

Re: Sabretooth - Design Phase
Do you want an attack number cap on Bloodlust like there are with other figures (Black Canary, Catwoman, Two-Face)?
Do we need to specify about leaving engagement attacks when moving using Bloodlust? We should probably specify that if he fails to destroy the defending figure with Devastating Pounce, the space he is placed on is adjacent to the defending figure. |

Re: Sabretooth - Design Phase
So if my opponent was REALLY foolish, I could Pounce four spaces, destroy a figure, move two spaces for Bloodlust, Pounce four more spaces away, destroy a figure, move two more spaces for Bloodlust, Pounce four more spaces away, etc . . .

Re: Sabretooth - Design Phase

Leaving engagements should be addressed, yeah, since there's a static move in the power. I think he should take them, thematically speaking. Quote:
Some quick rewording: DEVASTATING POUNCE SPECIAL ATTACK Range 4. Attack 6. After moving and instead of attacking normally, Sabretooth may use Devastating Pounce Special Attack. To pounce, choose a non-adjacent figure whose base is not higher or lower than 6 levels from the base of Sabretooth. If the figure is destroyed, immediately place Sabretooth on the space the figure occupied. If the figure is not destroyed, put one Wound Marker on this Army Card and place Sabretooth on a space adjacent to the defending figure. By the way - completely digging this design! I love him as an Outcast too. I think if you drop the "X" from the Healing Factor, that'd likely put him right at 280, which would make him an awesome mirror for Wolverine ... (just saying). C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

Re: Sabretooth - Design Phase
Here is the issue as I see it: Sabretooth's Healing ability, iconically is not as strong as Wolverine's. That being said, they ARE more similar than a simple Heal. Compared to everyone else, Sabretooth's Healing is crazy good. He can regrow limbs. One could argue it is better than Deadpool's because they both have the same limits, but he has no scars whereas Deadpool has scars. So I say go with Healing Factor X and see if we can't tweak him somewhere else to get him and Wolvie even. If he even needs to be weakened, which initial playtesting should help with.
EDIT: BTW, Great design Whitey! Way to take original ideas, old C3G ideas, and classic 'Scape ideas and marry them into a great write-up! Semi-Retired C3G Hero (and first Official Member of the C3G Target Audience!) The correct way to add C3G playtests to posts. My favorite day EVER on heroscapers.

Re: Sabretooth - Design Phase
I think there's a game balance concern here to be considered as well, though. Wolverine and Deadpool are both sooo good. I'm worried about creating too many figures that can benefit from that end of the round X-Marker reveal ...

Re: Sabretooth - Design Phase
Healing Factor X on any C3G unit just overpowers the already near-overpowered Deadpool and Wolverine. I am personally against the X and I also don't believe that his healing factor is as powerful as Wolverine or Deadpool.

Re: Sabretooth - Design Phase
I could go with the Destroyed only mechanic ... and it would likely be what it takes to lower his cost some ... but I'd want to see the attack raised to like 8, otherwise I'd rarely give it a go.

Re: Sabretooth - Design Phase
No adjacent spaces next to a figure would just mean that it couldn't be used, just like a gun with no targets in range can't be fired. Perhaps it should just be that he lands adjacent to his target before attacking and then moves onto the space if he destroys the figure... I'm not keen on the auto-destruct... Sabretooth should be just as hard to put down as Wolverine...
As for the healing X, how many potential characters have been a part of the Weapon X program and would have it? Looking at the list of Weapon X program members we have X-23 (made from Wolverine's genetic material), Wolverine, Sabretooth, Silver Fox (she has an artificial healing factor), Marrow (has lost her abilities since M-Day), The Native (never heard of her) and Deadpool. Not too many on the list really. I'll give this guy some thought over the next few days while I'm out of town... |
