The Book of Gert Yorkes

[Ronin]

Gert seems to be basically an auto-include for Old Lace, but if you're cool with that, then I think 20/140 probably works. I wouldn't mind seeing another set of tests, though. Gert and Lace together have only been tested by two people.

[Lazy Orang]

Oh, also, I'm defininitely in favour of condensing all Dinosaur species into Dinosaur. (It should be noted, though, that Pterasaurs are not Dinosaurs, though they're often thought of in the same breath, so Beast Boy (Pterodactyl) should probably be changed to Pterasaur instead.)

[Soundwarp SG-1]

I'll have the other 5 of my tests written up by tonight, sorry for the delay, I've been really sick since Christmas.

No rush - I can't even start up Nico's thread yet, so... whenever you get to it.

I can write up a draft for an "Arsenic and Old Lace" card later if people are interested in the two together as one alternate card.

I'd say why not. It would give people that don't want to cut up an expensive mini an excuse to not cut it up. If it's not too much work for you. I'll take care of the cards all at the same time so 3 vs 2 isn't a huge issue.

Here's how I think it would look?

-----

NAME = ARSENIC AND OLD LACE
SECRET IDENTITY = GERT YORKES


SPECIES = HUMAN
UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO
CLASS = RUNAWAY
PERSONALITY = CYNICAL

SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5

LIFE = 6

MOVE = 7
RANGE = 1
ATTACK = 5
DEFENSE = 2

POINTS = 160

BIO-ENGINEERED DEINONYCHUS
Arsenic and Old Lace have the secret identity of Old Lace, the species of Dinosaur, the class of Companion, and the personality of Loyal in addition to what is listed on this card. When Arsenic and Old Lace attacks, they may attack one additional time.

RUNAWAY MORALE
When rolling for initiative, you may add 1 to your roll for each Order Marker on the Army Card of a Runaway you control.

SWIFT CARRY
Whenever Arsenic and Old Lace are moved on your turn, you may choose an unengaged friendly small or medium figure adjacent to Arsenic and Old Lace. After you move Old Lace, place the chosen figure adjacent to Arsenic and Old Lace.

LEAP 12
Instead of their normal move, Arsenic and Old Lace may use Leap 12. Leap 12 has a move of 3. When counting spaces for Leap 12, ignore elevations. Arsenic and Old Lace may leap over water without stopping, leap over figures without becoming engaged, and leap over obstacles such as ruins. Arsenic and Old Lace may not leap more than 12 levels up or down in a single leap. If Arsenic and Old Lace is engaged when they starts their Leap 12, they will take any leaving engagement attacks.

Does Swift Carry still work if she's already carrying Gert? Sorry this should have been asked long ago but I just noticed it.

Also what about the double attack portion.

[Ronin]

She should only be dual-Classed in order to be mechanically equivalent. The other left box stuff should just be Old Lace's. She needs double attack too.

[johnny139]

Yeah, Swift Carry is always on. Old Lace is hardy, she can take an additional passenger now and then.

Good point on double attack, I've added that back in.

Making the Default being Old Lace does make more sense now that you mention it. All the other stats are hers and Gert is just the boosting rider.

[johnny139]

Human/Dinosaur could also be mechanically relevant, though - for Star-Lord builds, for example. Same with Personality really. It's tough to make it 1:1.

Honestly, what about Gert's Arsenic and Old Lace power just giving Old Lace her species and personality in addition to her own anyway? It'd be more thematic if the theme's basically that they're both together on one base, and it would make the theme clearer from the outset, at least to me.
