Character Bio -
Born in Cambridge, England, he is the only Dreadnok who received "true education". He was once an extreme left wing Cambridge Sociology Don who went to Australia to research biker gangs. His experiences there turned him into the very thing he was researching. Finding society's morality to be two-faced and that stripping away his inhibitions made up for his intellectual displeasure, he was instilled with a desire to take society apart with a chainsaw. _________________________________________________________________

DREADNOKS 9
After taking a turn with Buzzer, you may roll the 20-sided die. If you roll 9 or higher, you may take a turn with any other figure you control with the Dreadnoks special power that has not taken a turn yet this player turn. If Buzzer inflicted at least 1 wound during his turn, you may add 2 to the roll.

So basically for the SA, blanks are the only misses if he moves and if not they count as 2 or 3 skulls? Seems fine overall.

Edit: only one Blank counts but it’s still hard to miss. Not worried about that with a SA of 3.

What's the theme of the diamond part of it only working when he doesn't move? (Since the rest of the mechanics are the same as Ash's chainsaw).

That’s a mechanical hook to help the Dreadnoks out on vehicles. I guess you could say he’s focusing extra or something.

[IAmBatman]

Feels possibly a tiny bit forced? But I think it'll scan well when he's riding a motorcycle and gets in a good cut.

[fret_gurglo]

Mr.N is correct that it's basically a hook from other Dreadnoks. If too forced, I'm open to other ideas. I did want it to be similar to the other chainsaw SA, only better.

[IAmBatman]

Hmm, I wonder if something could be put in the title to get across the theme of it working better when he's moved by something else? If it weren't for wanting the synergy with VDOs I'd just say drop the no moving part and leave the rest, but I can get wanting that.

DRIVE-BY CHAINSAW SPECIAL ATTACK

And yes, that's a 100% serious suggestion that I think sounds sick.

I'm here for it.
