Re: The Book of Alien Drone - Playtesting Phase
Here's my report. The Drones are pretty cool to play, I loved being able to speed into the shadows or under the castle, then prey on my enemies that were forced to move into melee. I was a little underwhelmed by Acidic Blood, I think I expected it to have a bigger impact then it did, but it did still affect the game, so I can't complain.
Balance-wise, I'm not sure what to say. 130 seems too high for the most part, except one of the Drones in the second game did like 300+ points of damage. The thing is, they are pretty fragile and are a nightmare for OM placement; if used with the right OM management they'll really shine, but I don't see them being very viable without an OM management unit in your army. Overall, unless future tests say otherwise, I'd suggest sticking with the current course; in the right match-ups or on the right maps, they can be scary; but in a lot of games they're going to be a bit underwhelming. C3G STANDARD PLAYTEST FEEDBACK FORM NAME OF THE TEST UNIT Alien Drone - THEME TEST Pass - MIRROR TEST Pass - BONDING TEST Pass - SYNERGIES TEST Pass - POWER CHECK Pass - FUN TEST Pass - FUN COMPETITIVE TEST Pass - DRAFTING TEST Pass - USAGE TEST Pass - STRATEGY TEST Pass _____________________________________________________________ Army Test 1 - Does it pass, Yes or No? Tentative Pass - What should be the unit's point value? 130 seems quite high from this game. - Give a brief overview. While the Alien Drone team won, it had almost nothing to do with the 4 Alien Drones in the game. Enchantress alone pulled out the win after her Alien teammates failed. DRONE #1 SUM-UP Damage: Normal Attack: N/A Acidic Blood: 1 Elite League Assassin. Power Usage/Effectiveness: Stealth Climbing: Anti-Range effect had quite a bit use. Climbing effect had some use. Xenomorph Tail Strike: Not used. Acidic Blood: Rolled 3 total unblockable attack dice, skull rolled 1 time. DRONE #2 SUM-UP Damage: Normal Attack: 1 Hand Ninja. Acidic Blood: 1 Hand Ninja. Power Usage/Effectiveness: Stealth Climbing: Anti-Range effect had quite a bit of use. Climbing effect had some use. Xenomorph Tail Strike: 2 range used for 1 attacks, attacked while on shadow 0 times. Acidic Blood: Rolled 1 total unblockable attack die, skull rolled 1 time. DRONE #3 SUM-UP Damage: Normal Attack: 1 Elite League Assassin. Acidic Blood: 1 Elite League Assassin, 1 Hand Ninja. Power Usage/Effectiveness: Stealth Climbing: Anti-Range effect had quite a bit of use. Climbing effect had some use. Xenomorph Tail Strike: 2 range used for 0 attacks, attacked while on shadow 1 time. Acidic Blood: Rolled 3 total unblockable attack dice, skull rolled 2 times.

Spoiler Alert!
_____________________________________________________________ Army Test 2 - Does it pass, Yes or No? Pass - What should be the unit's point value? I don't know, 130 I guess. - Give a brief overview. This game was a little wacky. One of the Alien Drones went absolutely crazy, doing tons of damage; but the other two did pretty much nothing. DRONE #1 SUM-UP Damage: Normal Attack: N/A Acidic Blood: N/A Power Usage/Effectiveness: Stealth Climbing: Not used. Xenomorph Tail Strike: Never took a turn Acidic Blood: Never got to roll. DRONE #2 SUM-UP Damage: Normal Attack: N/A Acidic Blood: 1 wound to Bishop. Power Usage/Effectiveness: Stealth Climbing: Anti-Range effect had minimal use. Climbing effect had minimal use. Xenomorph Tail Strike: Never attacked. Acidic Blood: Rolled 1 total unblockable attack die, skull rolled 1 time. DRONE #3 SUM-UP Damage: Normal Attack: 1 wound to Code: Blue Officer #1, 2 wounds to Code: Blue Officer #2, 1 wound to Jonah Hex, all 3 wounds to Code: Blue Officer #4, 3 wounds to Lt. Stone, all 3 wounds to Code: Blue Officer #5. Acidic Blood: 1 wound to Jonah Hex, 1 wound to Bishop. Power Usage/Effectiveness: Stealth Climbing: Anti-Range effect had a ton of use. Climbing effect had some use. Xenomorph Tail Strike: 2 range used for 7 attacks, attacked while on shadow 2 times. Acidic Blood: Rolled 2 total unblockable attack dice, skull rolled 2 times. Map: Moon Base (with extra shadow) Units: Captain America (C3G), Wasp (II), Alien Drone x3 (790 points) VS Lieutenant Stone, Jonah Hex, Code: Blue Officer x5, Bishop (790 points)
Spoiler Alert!
_____________________________________________________________ Army Test 3 - Does it pass, Yes or No? *shrug* - What should be the unit's point value? Too hard to tell - Give a brief overview. This game doesn't offer much except to show how fragile the Drones can be. With bad dice/placement, the Alien Drones fell to the hands of the Yellow Lanterns before they even got to take turns. DRONE #1 SUM-UP Damage: Normal Attack: N/A Acidic Blood: 1 wound to Alien Drone #2, 1 wound to Alien Drone #3. Power Usage/Effectiveness: Stealth Climbing: Had no affect, Xenomorph Tail Strike: Never took a turn. Acidic Blood: Rolled 3 total unblockable attack dice, skull rolled 2 times. DRONE #2 SUM-UP Damage: Normal Attack: N/A Acidic Blood: 1 wound to Alien Drone #1. Power Usage/Effectiveness: Stealth Climbing: Had no affect. Xenomorph Tail Strike: Never took a turn. Acidic Blood: Rolled 2 total unblockable attack dice, skull rolled 1 time. DRONE #3 SUM-UP Damage: Normal Attack: N/A Acidic Blood: N/A Power Usage/Effectiveness: Stealth Climbing: Had no affect. Xenomorph Tail Strike: Never took a turn. Acidic Blood: Was not adjacent to any figures when wounded. DRONE #4 SUM-UP Damage: Normal Attack: N/A Acidic Blood: N/A Power Usage/Effectiveness: Stealth Climbing: Had no affect. Xenomorph Tail Strike: Never took a turn. Acidic Blood: Rolled 1 total unblockable attack die, skull rolled 0 times. Map: Moon Base (with extra shadow) Units: Alien Drone x4, Obsidian (800 points) VS Yellow Lantern (Arkillo), Sinestro Corps Soldier x4, Wasp (I) (800 points)

Re: The Book of Alien Drone - Playtesting Phase
Is it thematic for the Drone's own blood to give each other wounds?

Don't believe it is.

Re: The Book of Alien Drone - Playtesting Phase
Do they all have the species Xenomorph? If so, maybe this:
ACIDIC BLOOD Whenever this Alien Drone receives one or more wounds, before placing Wound Markers, you must immediately choose an adjacent figure that is not a Xenomorph for each wound received. Roll 1 unblockable attack die against each chosen figure. You cannot choose the same figure more than once. Also, looks like the cost might be trending down closer to my original estimate of 110. Based on the first two sets of playtests, I'd lean to 120 currently. C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

Xenomorph exception makes sense to me.

Re: The Book of Alien Drone - Playtesting Phase
Good catch and call ... at times, the Xenomorph chitin is used by Predators (and other savvy characters) to protect themselves from Xenomorph Blood; heh, maybe someday there can be a Glyph of Xenomorph Chitin ...

Re: The Book of Alien Drone - Playtesting Phase
I like the Xenomorph immunity being added, the threat of setting off an Acidic Blood chain was really scary in my games (primarily for themselves).
