First thought was that they could have Bulletproof Vest as a 2nd power, but that probably wouldn't be fun to deal with on top of the auto shield from the Pods. Maybe something like this if we wanted them to bond with Master Chief.

That would be cool!
Master Chief class could be "Soldier" with the "Relentless" personality so both him and the ODST could work with other soldiers. I was told someone was working on a MC build, I believe it was Arkham who started him but I can't remember.

Maybe instead of rolling an unblockable how about rolling 1 attack die and your opponent rolls only 1 defense die? That would prevent the onslaught of unblockables. It at least makes it fair and more of a risk to drop behind enemy lines.

Here's another one for the Halo franchise. The goal for this one is to equip a weapon glyph that pairs well with the map or gives you the advantage against a specific army. I feel like the weapon glyphs give it the true Halo feel and allow for unique customization of an army that can pair well with any other soldier. Thank you for your time.

I like that they are all SAs.
That is going to be a long road as it would require like 9 LDs to complete.

That was my 1st thought. Cool design but that's a year or 2 of just designing glyphs. Might want to start with 2 or 3.

[Ericth74]

There isca Gundam design that JayTrain can't see that has a similar idea but doesn't use glyphs. Could be a better way to go?

[Tornado]

Story card maybe?

I really like that idea. Is there a limit on how many Special Attacks can be on a story card? What did you have in mind? I'm open to any and all ideas to make this as painless as possible.

I'm extremely curious to what this is if it could help! I appreciate the ideas and guidance!

[Tornado]

I do not think there is a hard cap. The main limit would be text space.
I think. Story cards are a new thing I am still figuring out.

Version 2 for a Streetfighter that could use it!

High Points:

- Musician Kickboxer
- Well known as not only a fighter but an entertainer/dancer
- Fighting Style is noted as Kickboxing and Breakdancing, highly fluid and musical with a focus on his kicks
- His name is a pun on DJ (Disc Jockey)
- As a fighter he uses a lot of mobility, powerful kicks and combos that involve heavy hits.
- Powers pull from in-game names, one is pretty reminiscent of what is happening in game while the other is just a name that counts hitting the right "beats" as dealing wounds.

Spoiler Alert!

NAME = Dee Jay V2
SECRET IDENTITY = n/a
SPECIES = Human
UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO
CLASS = Fighter
PERSONALITY = Enthusiastic
SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5

LIFE = 5

MOVE = 5
RANGE = 1
ATTACK = 4
DEFENSE = 5

POINTS = 155

SABOT CARNIVAL SPECIAL ATTACK
Range 1. Attack Special.
Dee Jay starts each turn with a pool of 9 attack dice. Move up to 2 spaces and then choose an adjacent figure and attack by rolling 2, 3 or 4 attack dice and return any blanks rolled to the pool. After attacking, Dee Jay may move up to 2 spaces. Dee Jay may keep making special attacks with 2, 3 or 4 attack dice until he has rolled all 9 attack dice. Dee Jay never takes leaving engagement attacks.

CLIMAX BEAT
After revealing a numbered Order Marker on Dee Jay and attacking normally, if Dee Jay wounded an enemy figure you may choose another fighter hero you controll with 4 clear sight spaces and take a turn with that Hero. If that Hero wounds a figure during their turn then you may take a final turn with Dee Jay and no other turns.

If we are to see vIIs of SF characters, I think it'd be nice to see their usefulness and whatnot come up closer to the MK characters as I believe that's the current issue some have with the versions we have.

As for Halo, here's what I have planned for Master Chief. Not sure when I'll get to it, as the several glyphs is the big struggle point in terms of commitment levels it'd take to see it through.

NAME = MASTER CHIEF
SECRET IDENTITY = JOHN

SPECIES = CYBORG
UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO
CLASS = SOLDIER
PERSONALITY = DETERMINED

SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5/6

LIFE = 5

MOVE = 7
RANGE = 1
ATTACK = 6
DEFENSE = 6

POINTS = ~300

SPARTAN LOADOUT
Start the game with a Frag or Plasma Grenade Glyph and 2 other Weapon Equipment Glyphs of different types on this card. Master Chief cannot lose these glyphs by receiving wounds unless he is destroyed.

POWER ARMOR: MJOLNIR
Start each round with 3 blue Energy Shield Markers on this card. When Master Chief would receive any number of wounds, you must instead first remove Energy Shield Markers from this card, if possible, ignoring a wound for each Energy Shield Marker removed.

THE CHIEF
While all of your Order Markers are on this card, friendly Soldiers who have clear sight on Master Chief add 1 to their Attack and Defense numbers. After revealing an Order Marker on this card and taking a turn with Master Chief, you may take a turn with a Soldier Hero or Squad you control within clear sight of Master Chief and you may not take any additional turns with other figures you control.

SUPER STRENGTH

As for Weapon Glyphs, I'm looking to add a half dozen or so, likely using pre-existing powers that share their names to represent most of them to cover more ground:
Assault Rifle
Sniper Rifle
Rocket Launcher
Shotgun
Frag Grenade
etc.
