Similar to what I have for Hershey's Armor Piercing Round. Nice.

Has anybody done James Bond?

Thanks! I wanted something very cumbersome, but devastating if set up right.

Not in here at least. I’d like to see him, I just wouldn’t know the right direction to go with.

Here's somebody I haven't seen a design for yet. This is a fairly simplistic design, but I think it covers the theme well. Doomguy is an angry unstoppable force that makes demons fear him.



Doomguy

Human
Unique Hero
Slayer
Fearless
Medium 5

LIFE = 4
MOVE = 5
RANGE = 5
ATTACK = 4
DEFENSE = 5

170 points

RIP AND TEAR
Doomguy rolls one additional die when attacking or defending against Demon or Undead figures. After Doomguy destroys an adjacent figure with his normal attack, he may attack again with a normal attack.

BFG SPECIAL ATTACK
Range 4. Attack 6.
Choose a figure to attack. Any figures adjacent to the chosen figure are also affected by this special attack. Doomguy only needs a clear sight shot at the chosen figure. Roll attack dice once for all affected figures. Each figure rolls defense dice separately. Doomguy can be affected by this special attack and can only use this special attack once per round.

SPEEDRUNNING
Doomguy is never attacked when leaving an engagement and adds 1 to his move number if he leaves engagement from an enemy figure on his move.

Version 1:

Spoiler Alert!

Doomguy

Human
Unique Hero
Slayer / Soldier
Fearless
Medium 5

LIFE = 5
MOVE = 6
RANGE = 5
ATTACK = 4
DEFENSE = 4

200 points

RIP AND TEAR
Doomguy rolls one additional die when attacking or defending against Demon or Undead figures. After Doomguy destroys an adjacent figure with his normal attack, he may attack again with a normal attack.

BFG 9000 SPECIAL ATTACK
Range 7. Attack 7.
All blanks rolled count as additional skulls. This special attack may only be used once per game.

SPEEDRUNNING
Doomguy is never attacked when leaving an engagement.

[MrNobody]

Cool design. I think it might make sense to up his defense by 1 and then maybe lower his life by 1.

Rocket Raccoon has a slightly different BFG SA.

BFG SPECIAL ATTACK
Range 4. Attack 6.
Choose a figure to attack. Any figures adjacent to the chosen figure are also affected by this special attack. Rocket Raccoon only needs a clear sight shot at the chosen figure. Roll attack dice once for all affected figures. Each figure rolls defense dice separately. Rocket Raccoon can be affected by this special attack and can only use this special attack once per round.

[Soundwarp SG-1]

You are huge! That means you have huge guts!

[Tornado]

Speedrunning is just Disengage correct. Maybe add in an extra Movement point after leaving engagement.
Not thrilled to see another Undead slayer.
How about creating more Undead first?

[MrNobody]

What about something like this for Rip and Tear? Might be too powerful but it feels really brutal to me.

RIP AND TEAR
If Doomguy inflicts one or more wounds with an adjacent normal attack, you may choose an adjacent figure and roll the 20-sides die, subtracting the figure’s remaining life number from the roll. If you roll 16 or higher, destroy the chosen figure.

I'd be up for some Doom cards (never played it, but I know my brother did as a kid). Looks fun, though it'd probably be nice to see some of the demons from that setting too.

[Arch-vile]

Thanks all, those are good suggestions. I like the idea to add an additional thing to Disengage. @MrNobody I saw Rocket's special attack but thought it would be lead to avoiding the enemy in gameplay if Doomguy had a once per round ranged attack. Ideally he should be in the middle of the action all the time! Rocket's BFG has a short enough range that it might still play the way I'd like, though. Hmm, you know you might have convinced me.

@Lazy Orang try the most recent Doom if you like FPS games. It's a lot of fun. And there is an board game with figures of Doomguy and the demons, so it's within the realm of possibility for sure.

I'm not into FPS games (never really played them - much more of an RTS and RPG person) but I'm up for expanding my horizons, so... you never know! I have heard good things about the newest Doom, so maybe worth trying if I can pick it up cheap?

That board game definitely interests me, though - I know my brother enjoyed those games before I was born, so it might nice to do something with them.

If by any chance your like of RPGs extends to RogueLikes, I have a vague memory of there being an unofficial fanmade Doom RogueLike that was pretty well regarded by the RogueLike community.
