Character Bio - The Doctor is a Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey. After stealing a dilapidated time machine known as the TARDIS, the Doctor fled Gallifrey and has dedicated himself to a life of adventure and fighting injustice throughout all of time and space.

Time Lords are capable of a biological process known as Regeneration. When faced with mortal injuries, every cell in their body will transform, avoiding death but changing their appearance and personality.

The reasons the Doctor left Gallifrey are shrouded in mystery, but it is known he took his granddaughter Susan with him. The First Doctor's journey was one of self-discovery, determining what it meant to be the Doctor while protecting Susan and many other traveling companions.

[MrNobody]

NAME = THE DOCTOR (Crossover Symbol)

SPECIES = GALLIFREYAN
UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO
CLASS = WANDERER
PERSONALITY = CANTANKEROUS

SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5

LIFE = 6

MOVE = 4
RANGE = 1
ATTACK = 1
DEFENSE = 2

POINTS = 90

FLANKING STRIKE SCHEME
After revealing a numbered Order Marker on an Army Card and taking a turn with that card, you may reveal an "X" Order Marker on this card to choose up to two figures you control without the Super Strength or Flying special powers and move them up to 4 spaces each. After moving those figures, you may roll an unblockable attack die against a figure engaged with both chosen figures. Figures moved with Flanking Strike Scheme will take any leaving engagement attacks and must be within 4 spaces of the Doctor before moving. The Doctor may be one of the chosen figures.

DELICATE HEALTH
At the end of each round, if this card has any Wound Markers on it, roll an unblockable attack die against the Doctor.

LASTING WISDOM
When the Doctor is destroyed, you may place him on the card of a Unique Hero in your army. When that Unique Hero rolls combat dice for anything other than a special attack, if the Doctor is on that figure's card, you may choose to re-roll 1 die. Then, if that Unique Hero is not a Gallifreyan Wanderer, remove the Doctor from their card.

Interesting design. I think I'd struggle to find a reason to put an OM on him, though. Potential autowounds are nice of course but Flanking Strike Scheme has a few restrictions and The Doctor is slow. Maybe carrying him into the action with Angel or someone would be the way to go.

Lasting Wisdom is a pretty nice boost for other Doctors, which is cool as they're not attack-oriented (at least 11 isn't, and I assume most others won't be). I'm curious to see how he'll work.

I don't think you need the "just" in Wearing Thin.

Yeah, seems under 100 for sure, so I think you'll hit that. I get 70-80 on the calculator, which even then may be a tad high, IMO.

Yeah I definitely hear you. I’m hoping that later additions like the Tardis and Companions will shore up some of his weaknesses, but I also want him to feel playable on his own. It’s a tad tricky to balance something that’s worth putting an OM on with such a cheap figure. (I think 90 is the goal here.)

There’s a few that would probably be more attack-heavy, but I think it’ll balance out.

Thanks, will update.

Like I said, my goal is 90. No reason for that, just feels like a solid number

[tcglkn]

Very interesting design. Definitely feels mostly like an add on for other Doctors to give them the reroll power. Flanking Strike is evocative but seems hard to pull off in practice especially when he's a risky place to place OMs. Maybe something like this will make it easier to use him:

LASTING WISDOM
When the Doctor is destroyed, you may place him and all Order Markers from this card on the Army Card of a Unique Hero you control without the Super Strength or Flying special powers. While this figure is on that card, when that Unique Hero rolls Combat Dice for anything other than a special attack, you may choose to re-roll 1 die. Then, if that Unique Hero is not a Gallifreyan Wanderer, remove the Doctor from their card.

Probably should also add something similar to the blue part either way because as worded I'm not sure removing the figure from the card stops them from getting the reroll effect.

[LordVenoc]

He'll be a super cheap and easy add on to a Livewire team with that first power. Definitely seems to have enough limitations to keep him really reigned in though, making him a nice low cost figure I'd say.

[MrNobody]

An OM save doesn't quite feel right to me here.

Since LV brought up Livewire and reminded me, one thing I considered doing with him earlier was making him a bit of a lite version of her.

After revealing a numbered Order Marker on an Army Card and taking a turn with that card, you may reveal an "X" Order Marker on this Army Card to move up to two figures you control without the Super Strength or Flying special powers up to 4 spaces. After moving those figures, you may roll an unblockable attack die against a figure engaged with both figures that were moved. Figures moved with Flanking Strike Scheme will take any leaving engagement attacks and must be within 6 spaces of the Doctor before moving.

I think I actually like that quite a bit, and I know Soundwarp wants something like that as well. I was kinda worried about him stealing Livewire's niche, but the no SS/Flying restriction puts him in his own corner. Don't love doubling down on both Doctors so far wanting the X, but Eleven will also like the movement, so it evens out.

[johnny139]

I like him - either with the Flank in the first post or your recent update. Fairly niche but with some interesting powers.

Might go with Wise for a personality since that has some minor synergy, but otherwise, I get the theme pretty clearly, which feels like a good thing for a character I know nothing about.
