Re: The Book of Bud & Lou (Vote for Initial Playtest)
yea
Would I want it to be everything I love...sure...but that's just not realistic so I'm going to focus on finding things that will make me unhappy and work on fixing those. |

Re: The Book of Bud & Lou (Vote for Initial Playtest)
This passes unless someone holds/nays it in the next 24 hours. Seeing as the CRB aren't at all concerned and this design has sat for 2 weeks, I think we're good.

___________________________________________________________ Army Test 3 Map: Custom Units: Bud & Lou(70), Harley Quinn II(180), Darkseid(380) (630) vs. Luke Cage(190), Wolverine(280), Swordsman(160) (630)
Spoiler Alert!
___________________________________________________________ THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT'S COST, BALANCE, & DRAFTABILITY: Bud and Lou make great companions to Harley I and II. For Harley I, they offer 2 additional attacks of 3, with a potential shield reduction for them and Harley. Subtracting a shield for her Bomb SA can be a great combo. Speaking of great combos, they pair even better with Harley II's Pop Gun Special Attack, as it already lowers their defense by 1, so a shield subtraction can make it that much more likely to cause a wound, which then allows the removal of an OM. Their 1 life, Unique classification, and requirement of them both being alive and engaged to get the shield subtraction keeps them in check. If left alone, they can be quite a devastating combo for Harley and her allies, but if the opponent chooses to focus on them early, they'll be neutered quite easily. I expect stats can be dialed if needed to make sure they stay at 70 points, if they feel under or over through further testing. As-is, I'm thinking they're close, if not slightly over costed. |

Re: The Book of Bud & Lou (Vote for Initial Playtest)
Late to the game, but no major concerns. Pack attack is really strong because subtracting a rolled shield is roughly the equivalent of rolling 3 fewer dice. Still, it's a 2 figure unique squad so it would take a peculiar combo to really exploit it.
(Confused by pack attack wording; shouldn't it be something like "when an opponent rolls defense dice for [blah blah] they must subtract 1 shield from the result"?) |

Re: The Book of Bud & Lou (Vote for Initial Playtest)
I'd err on the side of caution based on dok's comments and stay where we are for now. If the cost really is too high, they can come down later in the process. This is reminiscent of The Top from recently where there are some concerns about defense reduction stacking, so those should be explored more in public testing before landing on a point value.
Like Superheroes and Comics?

Re: The Book of Bud & Lou (Vote for Initial Playtest)
Essentially all you need to do to shut it down is Wound one of them. At 5 defense, that shouldn’t be too hard. Not being Heroes they have less boost and bonding options as well so Valkyrie for example can’t protect them.
I’m fine with leaving them as-is at the current point value though. Public testing will provide more data. |

Re: The Book of Bud & Lou (Vote for Initial Playtest)
This officially passes to Initial Playtesting.
I propose a vote to move to Public Playtesting. |
