That's what I had intended. Let's keep it as is.

What do we think about "Master Assassin"

Grumpy

Spoiler Alert!

“ Well Grumpy can't go far with out getting tired. And the nice thing about Grumpy is he's so clumsy you can hear him two miles away. „
~ Rick Marshall from The Land of The Lost TV show.

NAME = GRUMPY

SPECIES = DINOSAUR
UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO
CLASS = HUNTER
PERSONALITY = HUNGRY

SIZE/HEIGHT = HUGE 15

LIFE = 9

MOVE = 5
RANGE = 1
ATTACK = 7
DEFENSE = 2

POINTS = ???

PESKY PREY
At the start of the game, you may choose one opponent's Unique Hero to be Grumpy's Prey. When a numbered Order Marker is revealed on the Prey's card, you may immediately move Grumpy up to 2 spaces.

GETTING TIRED
Subtract one from Grumpy's Move number for each revealed order marker on this card.

LAND OF THE LOST
If Grumpy ends his turn on a swamp space, remove one wound marker from this card.

Left to do:
Confirm new wording for Visceral Movement
Confirm name for Master Assassin
Submit final Thumbs Up

I guess the issue with Master Assassin for me is that it allows him to attack and move on even if he doesn't destroy the defending figure, which doesn't sound thematic.

Maybe keep the name but make it so that his subsequent attacks must be against the same figure until that figure is destroyed.

Master Assassin
When John Wick attacks he may attack 2 additional times. When John Wick attacks a figure he must keep attacking that figure until it is destroyed.

The C3V did something like this with a Dwarf Hero called Ulfrid Hornwrangler. He had a special attack which, if he used it, he must keep attacking until the unit is destroyed. For every die roll that he didn't destroy the figure, he had to take a wound and then keep attacking.

For the second sentence, in this power, I would say he has to use any remaining attacks on the same figure until it is destroyed.

Good discussion. Staying on target may even be canon

[TannMan]

So I am a big fan of Heroscape and comic charcters and I wanted to make my own style cards for some figures C3G has but may be just event heroes or just I really like some characters and I want to have a custom flare to them over C3Gs. however, I am terrible and tend to show bias when I create my own figures so I am posting some custom cards and if some of you guys with experience in testing and giving even a rough estimate for points I would greatly appreciate the help!! Also a bit new here so if there is a different place for these kinds of things please point me in the right direction. Thank you!!
