Well, we're getting dangerously close to C3G levels here. Are any of those godly abilities super thematic for him? We left out a fair number of Percy's abilities.

Anyways initial thoughts. I like Ruthless better as a personality.

The problem with 3 range is he can hit someone 50 levels above him if he can see them. Probably better to just give him reach although that puts us at four powers on the card.

~Dysole, whose only familiarity with Kratos is from the HISHE: God of War

[TREX]

The Godly "abilities" will be treasure glyphs, so you can pick and choose his arsenal per game. They are different powers or weapons he collects from killing different gods. They are thematic to his character. I wrote this up a while back, I wanted to change his range to 1 with a reach like the fen hydra. updated other post.

[JC McMinis]

Wow interesting choice. That is alot of glyphs. As far as the range on his blades we limit the height like the fen hydra. Also do you have any thougts on a mini

[TREX]

@JC McMinis , we wouldn't do them all, those are ideas of all the possible choices. I would want to just take a handful of the better ones. Yes I do have a mini in mind, It would need paint and a mod though.

Ambitious. Good luck with this one.
This approach is pretty much what I had in mind for a Lone Wolf custom.
Good stuff.

[TREX]

First I would like to discuss his 3 abilities.
The First one needs to represent the couple of treasure glyphs he gets to start the game with. The treasure glyphs are supposed to represent items or things taken from the different gods he kills on his quest for vengeance. I came up with "Godly Abilities". If anybody can come up with a name that better suits what I going for. In the game he has all of them as he collects them. For a Heroscape character I would say 3 is good to start on his card. I would think we should come back to the TG themselves after structuring the figure card from the list above. @Dysole , ruthless personality fits great. Unless anybody has any other suggestions, I'll switch to that.

[Confred]

This is an exciting figure indeed.I do believe the design will shift from that initial format as Dexter did from his flip card, but the theme is solid. My computer is still down, so I'm at disadvantage here being only on phone.

Exciting figure.. Thoughts are reaching already
