Not B
but C is fine.

LD's choice, as long as A or B come with an extra playtest sheet.

This, but leaning more toward A than B

Definitely more testing with changes, I wouldn't mind any of those though.

[Lord Pyre]

I'd rather drop life than defense, and I agree that it'd be cool to have him a different cost, so I suppose A.

[johnny139]

Alright, that looks like heavy presence for A. I'll drop his Life down to 3 (which is more on par with Dick Grayson anyways) and ask for one more test.

[IAmBatman]

Sweet.

[johnny139]

Looks very good here - about perfect. He can rack up 70 points in the right situation, steals turns from other Robins now and then, but goes down fast once he engages. I'm happy with that.

So, I PROPOSE WE MOVE TO FINAL EDITING AT 70!

NAME OF THE TEST UNIT (Robin (Jason Todd))

- THEME TEST/ Check to see if there are any powers or stats on the test unit card that does not accurately reflect the theme or likeness of what the character would and could do. Also consider destructible objects, and whether or not this characters powers should affect them.
Pass, the Reckless Engagement is perfect for him

- MIRROR TEST/ Check to see if the unit were played against itself, if there would be any loops that would upset the balance of the Game.
Pass

- BONDING TEST/ Compare the unit card with all possible currently existing Bonding abilities to make sure there are no continual Bonding possibilities that do not stop appropriately or do not stop at all. This is to prevent loops in Bonding.

Pass

- POWER CHECK/ Consider the test unit and all existing units and all glyphs to compare to and check for any powers that could be over amplified and break the game. Each power must define when it takes place, who or what it affects, and What are the stipulations on the power if there are any.

Pass, the roll is kind of annoying

- FUN COMPETITIVE TEST/ Consider whether or not the design was fun to play against.

Pass

Army Test
- Does it pass, Yes or No? Yes
- What should be the unit's point value? 70 feels perfect
- Give a brief overview. Jason faired pretty well in this battle, without an abundance of ranged units, he could sit at range and take out the Arkham Inmates while the Batmen took the more powerful heroes. The most annoying thing was having Jason compete with the other Robins for the extra turn.
Map: Swamp Lab
Units: Robin (Dick Grayson), Robin (Jason Todd), Robin (Tim Drake), Batman (Bruce Wayne), Batman (Terry McGinnis) (vs) Joker (II), Hugo Strange, Victor Zsasz, Harley Quinn, Arkham Inmates (x3)

Spoiler Alert!

The battle opened with the Arkham team advancing quickly while the the Bruce and Dick advanced and took height. The two of them took out three Inmates on their first turn, but Harley was able to sneak in a Bomb between the two of them. Batman dodged, but Robin failed to roll a shield and was destroyed. Batman advanced, and Jason move up from behind, while Joker and Harley moved to engage them. Batman struggles to inflict wounds on Joker, and the even hitting 3 dodges, the clowns inflict 3 wounds in one round (Joker 1W Harley 1W). Terry flys in and uses a Comlink to shoot Joker and inflicts a massive 4 wounds. Bruce finishes off Joker, and Zsasz moves up and trys to finish him, but fails to roll a skull. Terry moves and inflicts a wound on Zsasz, but the Inmates are still able to finish Bruce off. Terry glides away from a Inmate attack in order to go after Hugo, but his Vigilante's unmasked power means he can't attack. Hugo starts the round by transforming himself into a raging monster and even with the + to attack from tactical comlink, he still can't damage Hugo, although Robin is able to kill a few more of the Inmates. Hugo reverts back to a human, and sends the inmates and Zsasz to take down Jason. Jason is able to get a height attack on Zsasz and finishes him off, but the Inmates swarm him and bring him down. Harley runs up to attack Tim, and Tim puts up a good fight, but he doesn't have the power to take down Acrobatic Manuver.
Who won and how many wounds did they have?
Arkham Escape wins - Harley 1/4 wounds, Hugo 2/4 wounds and 3 Arkham Inmates remain.

Army Test
- Does it pass, Yes or No? Pass
- What should be the unit's point value? 70 max, but he is awfully fragile, and he doesn't fair well against heavy hitter
- Give a brief overview. With all the heavy hitters on the enemy team, Jason couldn't really do much, but he made a great distraction for Punisher while he shot up The Lizard.
Map: Swamp Lab
Units: Punisher, Huntress, Rorshach, Robin (Jason Todd) (vs) Killer Croc, Lizard, Scorpion

Spoiler Alert!

A pretty quick battle, Jason and Punisher move to height while the enemy advances. Punisher fails his first attack, but Jason inflicts a wound, and moves up to lizard so couldn't attack Punisher, but he annihilates Robin :'(. Punisher inflicts 3 wounds on Lizard who then climbs up to Punisher's perch and inflicts a wound on him. Lizard and punisher exchange blows, but Punisher is able to win out in the end with one life left. Scorpion finishes off Punisher, and moves to engage Rorshach. Rorshach inflicts 2 wounds, and Huntress deals another two. Scorpion deals 3 wounds to Rorschach, who then brings him down to 1 life left. Scorpion finally brings down Rorschach, but a 5 skull attack from Huntress brings him down. Croc and Huntress meet in the center of the map and even though Croc almost kills her with his first attack, her Ruthless Counterstrike deals him 3 wounds. Croc then whiffs his second attack, and Huntress rolls the final two attack dice to bring him down.
Who won and how many wounds did they have? Brutal Vigilance wins - Huntress with 1 life left

His power can be annoying at times, mainly because you have to roll it every time you use a vigilante. Reckless Engagement is perfect for him, but with only 3 defense 3 life, he won't really last more than an attack or two once he is engaged.

Great design, I really enjoyed playing him
