_________________________________________________________________

Character Bio - Joseph "Joe" Dredd is the most famous of the elite corps of Street Judges that run Mega-City One, a city of over four hundred million people and every one of them a potential criminal. Stretching the length of the 22nd Century North American eastern seaboard, Mega-City One is the most dangerous city on Earth – a serious crime takes place every second of every day. This is a city so dangerous that it demands a special breed of law enforcer. Here, there are no police, no trials and no juries – there are only the Judges. It takes fifteen years to train a Judge for life on the streets. Fifteen years of iron discipline, rigid self-control and concentrated aggression. His court is on the streets and Judge Dredd's word is the Law.

We don't do nicknames, so take the "Joe" out of the secret identity.

I thought we were going "Clone" instead of "Human"?

I'm glad we went with Unyielding. That's a great choice - nice mix between disciplined, arrogant, and judgmental.

Stats look good, though I think testing may show a need for his range or attack or both to drop a little.

I like all the specials, but I'd drop the Ricochet attack to attack of 3 so it's not the default choice since it gets in so many attacks.

I think I'd just suggest going range 7, attack 4 for his normal attack now as well since it's so easy to boost.

These moves should get his cost in a range we like as well, I believe.

Is that so?

[Tornado]

I need mini pics if anyone can help me out there. Suggestions for comic art and backround (he lives in a futuristic Mega-City) is encouraged. Let me know if this looks right.
I know I need to do the synergy links and a bio but it must wait until tomorrow, must sleep. Drokk it.

[Hidicul]

Well he looks but I'm worried that being able to always use multiple SAs a turn means his normal attack will be hardly used if ever even with range of his normal.

[Tornado]

I was hoping to get some input from you Hidicul, I appreciate your straight forward honesty.
So far in my playtests his normal attack was quite valuable in drawing in figures and keeping Range 1 figures at bay. I was able to shoot Hawkgirl without allowing for a Swoop. I was testing him with 5 attack dice on his SAs also. I think with 4A on SAs his normal will see even more use but will always be second fiddle to double SAs.

[tcglkn]

Height and an Avengers Marker will get his normal attack to 7 quickly. An attack of 7 at Range 8 is pretty good. The Special Attacks are obviously his main thing here though so I don't see an issue.

[TrollBrute]

Would Lawman be appropriate for his class?

[Tornado]

This was discussed briefly. He is more then a Lawman.
He is Judge, Jury, and Executioner.
My biggest issue would be if the Dark Judges were made. I can not see them not being Dark Judges for class. Then it would look weird for Dredd to be a Lawman.

Also, I do not see Dredd taking orders from a Lawman like Gordon. He answers to none but a Chief Judge (which I have a design for).

I am still open to this discussion but it will require persuasion. Thanks TB

[Hidicul]

I say at the least his class should be judge, I've never thought of him as a cop which is what lawman always make me think of. I agree that having him on hieght with a Avangers Marker makes his normal sweetier, but I was more thinking when you play him on a map with very little hieght difference like my current favorite dark deminsion as well as outside of a cap build. At the point I think his normal might see little use. Hopefully I'll be able to grab a test on this guy so I can see how he does.

[tcglkn]

Hidicul, I don't disagree with you. I was just pointing out a situation where it might be useful. I have no problem letting someone's special attacks outshine their normal attack.
