*Jack and Zack

Design Notes: Basically a 2 headed frankenstein thing. Foulspawn will eventually get their mother, so look out for synergy in the future there. But in general, he's great at dishing out 2 attacks of 5 and maybe eating a few hits. I'm contemplating giving him more life.

Spoiler Alert!

*card looks extra poopy because of playtesting

Design notes:
A big tanky guy for the set. He's incredibly menacing until he gets hurt, then his pride starts to get in his way, making his true capabilities show. I wanted to avoid scaling penalties because originally he had +2 attack vs non Kaijus. But that was just ridiculous in playtesting

*make sure you roll the white combat dice!

Design notes:
I wanted to implement a scatter dice like effect without putting in the work on both me and potential players. Although their attack may seem scary at first, it's important to remember that if they do get use the multi-hit functions, it'll only be with a single skull. They are actually a very fun squad who can put in work... if your opponent ignores them and if the enemy figures have low low defense.

Very cool designs as always! I like the interactions between Brain Damage and Overextend Attack and how there's more of a cost to using it than usual. I do wonder if there is a typo in Brain Damage though? Currently he starts the game as Mindless and only becomes Menacing after taking enough wounds. Thematically it would make more sense to me if it was the other way around.

Also, given the name Brain Damage, I might suggest rewording this ability as a negative power. IE, give them 5 attack to begin with and rewrite Brain Damage as

Brain Damage
If Jzackkc has 4 or more wounds on his Army Card, he has the Mindless personality and subtracts 2 from his attack dice.

There's also a typo in Overextend Attack where you mention Alastair.

Krowln seems cool. I worry that he might be a bit boring to play, as he's essentially a huge beatstick, but the coolness is worth it. I'd also actually consider drafting Morsbane with him to negate that power, haha!

And lastly, I LOVE the Dwarzgo design. The special attack does a great job representing a scattershot that randomly either spreads out to deal less damage to a greater area, or ends up hitting a more concentrated area for more damage. I did have one question about what happens if you roll 1 skull, 1 shield, and 1 blank. Does the attack only hit everything adjacent to the original target, or does it also hit everyone adjacent to the figure targeted due to the shield roll? I think going by the card as written it should be the first option, but its not totally clear to me one way or the other. Also, if you wanted the card to feel more "official", you could specify that a player should roll Aquilla Valkyrie dice for the attack to avoid problems with 1st edition Master Sets.
