The Book of Demogorgon Stalker

[Splash]

I have been a little drained the past two weeks and it feels a little like I've been trying to resuscitate a corpse. I've gone ahead and reread everything up to this point and thought about what I'd like and came up with this. If it requires more than some minor edits, I'll call it and it can be put on hiatus or limbo or wherever it may need to go.

This is the card I would like to see.

NAME = DEMOGORGON STALKER

SPECIES = DEMOGORGON
UNIQUENESS = UNCOMMON HERO
CLASS = TORMENTOR
PERSONALITY = TERRIFYING

SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5

LIFE = 6

MOVE = 5
RANGE = 1
ATTACK = 5
DEFENSE = 2

POINTS = ???

THE UPSIDE DOWN
Start the game with a seven-hex dungeon tile, called The Upside Down, for all Demogorgons you control and place it near the battlefield. The Upside Down is considered part of the battlefield and this Demogorgon starts the game on an Upside Down space. After revealing an Order Marker on this card, instead of moving normally, you may place this Demogorgon on any empty space on the battlefield. Whenever any player reveals a numbered Order Marker, that player must roll a single attack die for each figure they control without The Upside Down special power that occupies the Upside Down, one at a time. If a skull is rolled, the figure receives one wound. If a blank is rolled, the player that controls that figure must place it in their Start Zone.

DRAGGED INTO THE NETHER
Before taking a turn with this Demogorgon, you may choose an opponent’s adjacent small or medium figure with 2 or less Life remaining. Whenever this Demogorgon moves or is moved in any way, you may place the chosen figure adjacent to this Demogorgon and it will not take any leaving engagement attacks.

TERRIFYING PRESENCE
Figures without the Fearless personality engaged with one or more figures with this special power who attack with a normal attack must reroll one die that shows a skull.

I put it in Card Creator and it's small, but fits without being red font.
edit: I dropped the LEA sentence, so they do take LEAs.

Looks like a solid approach. I think some of the wording can probably still be trimmed down a tad without meaning, so you'll likely be OK.

Looks good. They're gonna die pretty quick with only 2 defense and 5 life.

[Tornado]

Easy dial to turn though.
Big fan of the high Life, low Defense angle.

How does the Demogorgon get back to the Upside Down?

[Dr. Jekyll]

Something like this maybe?

DRAGGED INTO THE NETHER
Before taking a turn with this Demogorgon, you may choose an opponent’s adjacent small or medium figure with 2 or less Life remaining and place this Demogorgon and the chosen figure on an unoccupied Upside Down space. Whenever this Demogorgon moves or is moved in any way, you may place the chosen figure adjacent to this Demogorgon and it When moved by this special power the chosen figure will not take any leaving engagement attacks.

Upside Down counts as the battlefield and they can go anywhere on the battlefield.

Aahhhh, gotcha! Right on. Scratch last then

[IAmBatman]

Took me a minute too, so don't feel bad. But, yeah, it's covered.

Yeah, I was thinking about how easy they are to hit, kind of like Myers or Jason, in that they don't really block much, but they probably have a thicker hide or something. Would 6 or 7 Life better reflect they can take several bullets and be lit on fire and still be fine.
edit: Although I would like to get them at 105, so they could be fine where they are.

I think you can play around with Life.
Could drop Defense and go higher Life as well.
I think you will like how it plays. They are easy to hit which is nice for your opponent but they would not be very vulnerable to getting one shot like a high Defense, low Life figure is.

[Yodaking]

Just a general statement here, not advocating for anything in particular for this design. Thicker hides can be represented by higher defense, that is what armor is. Hitting something and damaging them are two different things. A dragon is easy to hit due to it's size, but the scales prevent those hits from doing any damage.

I know in the show the kids struggle to kill it when they plan their big ambush, but they are also just kids using fairly simple weapons (baseball bat, handgun, fire, etc.). Most of those types of attacks would be represented by 3 attack in our game. More powerful rifles in more capable hands usually end up at 4. So I'd consider 3-4 defense myself, 3-4 defense vs 3 attack should be able to take some hits and keep coming. Then adjust the life accordingly with how many hits you want him to take before a bunch of 3 dice attack rolls can take it down. Thor would most likely crush one without much effort, so just keep that in mind.
