I don't think that Range 6, Attack 3, or Defense 3 are wrong for a Lawman. Not individually. Combined together they no longer feel like a gunslinger, though, not to me. |

Re: The Pre-SoV Workshop
I'd rather see 3 Defense than 6 Life for Clayton -- 6 Life sticks out more than 3 Defense.
I didn't get to review Clayton, so this can all be taken with a grain of salt, but the only stat that "bugged" me when looking at the card was the 6 Range, since that seemed pretty obviously a tweak to make him closer to the action. But I also didn't hate it for that reason. That said, I do see where Scy and caps are coming from with the gunslinger misfit stats that they've brought up. Personally, I think 2 Attack 7 Range would be fine for him, since that loss in offensive power is made up by his ability to coordinate shootouts. But I'm also not certain that I'd really downvote the other stat ideas I've seen thrown around (though 6 Life does give me pause), since that's something that doesn't always stand out until play testing, like the previous version. Again, I realize I'm the smallest voice contributing to this conversation, but thought I'd throw in a couple cents since the discussion is taking place. Plus why waste an opportunity to try to make a decision more difficult? Monthly Utah Tournaments in SLC!!

Re: The Pre-SoV Workshop
I’m absolutely interested in what the other judges would have said! After all, I’ll be resubmitting him soon.

Re: The Pre-SoV Workshop
Curious. Life values in Heroscape tend to be all over the place. Guilty having only 2 is quite different than James or Johnny, but no one complains about that. It has to be within reason, of course, but 6 Life doesn't even register to me as odd. On the other hand, this mini isn't any more suggestive of higher Defense than the other gunslingers. He's just wearing normal clothes.

Re: The Pre-SoV Workshop
Yeah, one of those weird taste things. 6 Life feels more metagamed to me, since humans with 6 life are generally frontline champions and warlords. Which I suppose Clayton could kind of be, but there's also nothing about the mini suggesting he's pure vitality like they are. I guess I'm faster to assume that his leader experience points would go into battle awareness and reflexes than vitality, as an example. Like why Brave Arrow has 3 Defense despite being even less armored than any of the gunslingers.
But also, it's hard to ascribe too much rhyme and reason to Heroscape stats, especially from an out-of-game perspective, which is reason for all the disclaimers that come with my thoughts. Monthly Utah Tournaments in SLC!!

Personally, I'd prefer Clayton to be "rough and tough" (added Life) than "dodge-y" (added Defense). but I can respect a difference of opinion. |

All depends on how strictly one views Defense as ability do "dodge" attacks. There's nothing particularly nimble about a Deathwalker, after all. Similarly, I tend to view Life more as... life, longevity. So 6 Life, to me, reads more as a particularly long-lived Human rather than a tough one. It's slightly different in everyone's mind, I'm sure. Arena of the Valkyire - Help create Heroscape's next Master Set! Trade List C3V Brainstorm never not funny Pepperony - 14/09/13 |

Re: The Pre-SoV Workshop
I don't think of taking damage as cutting years off the creature's life. I see it like in D&D, or video games, or, well, most anything in gaming, really, as a measure of how much punishment that creature can take before it falls.

Re: The Pre-SoV Workshop
Hey all. I have a design I'm working on that I'm thinking of submitting to SoV. Before I do, though, I wonder what you think of this design:
NAME = POTATOIs this design too strong for a SoV submission? Why or why not? (This question is not as simple as it may appear to some.) |

Re: The Pre-SoV Workshop
If you changed the name to "A Large Potato", I'd throw it some Order Markers.
