NAME = M.R.D. TROOPER
SECRET IDENTITY = NONE

SPECIES = HUMAN
UNIQUENESS = COMMON HERO
CLASS = TROOPER
PERSONALITY = DEDICATED

SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5

LIFE = 1

MOVE = 5
RANGE = 5
ATTACK = 3
DEFENSE = 3

POINTS = 30

ANTI-MUTANT TECHNOLOGY 16
Start the game with 8 gray Neutralizer Markers for all M.R.D. Troopers you control. If a Mutant figure receives one or more wounds from an M.R.D. Trooper's normal attack and is not destroyed, you may immediately roll the 20-sided die. If you roll 16 or higher, place 1 Neutralizer Marker from this card onto the defending Mutant's card. A Mutant figure with one or more of your Neutralizer Markers on its card cannot use any special powers on its card. At the end of the round, return all of your Neutralizer Markers to this card.

MUTANT ASSAULT FORCE
After revealing an Order Marker on this card, you may move and attack with up to 2 M.R.D. Troopers you control, or up to 4 M.R.D. Troopers you control if there is at least 1 opponent's Mutant figure within 6 clear sight spaces of an M.R.D. Trooper you control at the start of the turn.

MUTANT ASSAULT FORCE
After revealing an Order Marker on this card, you may move and attack with up to two M.R.D. Troopers you control. At the start of this turn, if there is at least one enemy Mutant figure within 6 spaces of at least one M.R.D. Trooper you control, you may move and attack with up to two additional M.R.D. Troopers you control.

I'd recommend rewording the powers like this:

MUTANT ASSAULT FORCE
When taking a turn with the M.R.D. Trooper, you may move and attack with up to 2 M.R.D. Troopers you control, or up to 4 M.R.D. Troopers you control if there is at least 1 opponent's Mutant figure within 6 clear sight spaces of an M.R.D. Trooper you control at the start of the turn.

ANTI-MUTANT TECHNOLOGY 16
Start the game with 8 black Suppression Markers on this card. If a Mutant figure receives one or more wounds from a M.R.D. Troopers normal attack and is not destroyed, you may immediately roll the 20-sided die. If you roll 16 or higher, place 1 Suppression Marker from this card unto the defending Mutant's card. A figure with one or more of your Suppression Markers on its card cannot use any special powers on its card. At the end of the round, return all of your Suppression Markers to this card.

Otherwise, Yea.

I actually like that quite well. As for the markers however should we just use the gray Neutralizer Marker from the Glyph of Neutralizer since it is based off of that not only in mechanics but thematically as well. The tech was actually reverse engineered from Forges tech.

That'd probably work. I like the thematic nod.

If there will not ever be any bonding options with these guys, it would flow better if Mutant Assault Force started with "After revealing an Order Marker on this card, you may move and attack with up to . . ."


yea

yea

Actually there is a leader planned that will have a future bonding option which will allow the 4 to be default without a mutant in view.

Fixed...also it's not said enough by me so thanks for all the help with the English Language that you provide me...despite it being my first language.

Edit: Just for clarification it is "an M.R.D. Trooper" and not "a M.R.D. Trooper"

Should 'figure' there be 'Unique Hero'? Right now they can whammy Apoc (and any future Mutant Event Heroes).

EPB otherwise looks good.
