Re: [Pod 2] Rhox Veterans - Design
I think there's precedent for, say, a gargoyle who can harden its skin but is always a statue.

Re: [Pod 2] Rhox Veterans - Design
That's fair I suppose. I guess I just feel like if it could go either way, why not choose the thematic explanation that more closely reflects how the ability works?
I know we're allllllllmost there, but I figured that if we did want to go the "always a statue, just sometimes doesn't move" route, I thought of another ability and statline that could be fun. I'm not necessarily convinced its better than what we already have, but that's what brainstorming is for Quote:

Re: [Pod 2] Rhox Veterans - Design
Cool. If no one object we'll move forward with that?

Re: [Pod 2] Rhox Veterans - Design
I'm in favor of moving forward with the Flesh to Stone/Headlong Charge design proposed above.
The only thing I'm questioning at this point is whether it would be a better design with 4 base defense and just +2 defense if there's no revealed OMs. With the +3 bonus, I somewhat wonder whether these guys will ever see anything other than OM #3. Lowering the number of bonus defense dice could potentially add some more tension to that decision. However, this is something I'm currently undecided about and think that playtesting will be very beneficial in determining the sweet spot for the base defense and buff values. |

Re: [Pod 2] Rhox Veterans - Design
I'm fine with Flesh to Stone/Headlong Charge combo as well. I'd definitely give them base 4 defense. That makes them tough enough to use before OM3. I kind of like the idea of keeping the +3 defense for a total of 7. It definitely gives the impenetrable stone feeling, but that may be a bit too much.

Re: [Pod 2] Rhox Veterans - Design
Yeah, I think Sentinels synergy is fine.
We can try them at 3 A&D, especially seeing as how we need to diversify power levels. Anyone want to chime in on decisions here? |

Re: [Pod 2] Rhox Veterans - Design
I massively prefer 3A here. If we want 4D, I’d make Flesh to Stone only give +2D. 4D does make sense, since they are wearing some armor too.

Re: [Pod 2] Rhox Veterans - Design
I'm absolutely good with that draft. Flame, can you throw that in the OP?
I'd like to hear name ideas. "Alabaster Sentinel" was something off the top of my head. Remember that the name will speak to the lore of the unit. |

Re: [Pod 2] Alabastar Sentinels (Rhox Veterans) - Design
OP updated. I've set their tentative cost to 60, because even though they are sometimes tough and sometimes fast, they are seldom both at once. So, 3 attacks of 3 from a unique squad can't be too far off from 60 I'd reckon.
