The Holocron of 2-1B

[Heroscaper Guy]

Okay, so does this move to editing or initial playtest next? If initial playtest, I'm going to need some time, I've got four playtests (One C3V, one C3G, one HOSS, and something for SOV submission hopefully, that those of us in the Hangout are making). I should be able to finish two of those tonight after some homework and write them up tomorrow after school. That should free me up more hopefully.

If you fee like the figure is to your satisfaction, then you can call for a vote to move him to playtesting (he is already in "editing"). Then you and all of the HoSS members will vote on whether to pass him on to playtesting or not.

Okay, will then I call for a vote to move to playtesting. I obviously vote yes. I'll edit the thread title.

It's gonna be hard to cost him without being able to use his bonding power. I'd like to maybe get the FX-7 done before the 2-1B... Or we can make the FX-7 have a bonding power like:

BLA-BLA-BLA
After revealing an Order Marker on a FX-7 Army Card, before taking that FX-7's turn, you may take a turn with one other Medical Droid you control within 3 clear sight spaces of that FX-7.

Or we can wait, as I said I need time possibly.

Yeah, if you wanna hold the 2-1B until the FX-7 is done, I'm fine with that. We just either need to do the FX-7 first or put the bonding power on the FX-7 and finish the 2-1B first.

Either way, the FX-7 needs to get started. I don't think there's gonna much be to the FX-7... Just a healing power, IMO.

Rebellion Field Medic
Instead of attacking, you may choose an adjacent friendly non-Droid Hero who follows the Rebel Alliance and you may remove one wound marker from the chosen figure's Army Card.

Medical Triage
Before taking a turn with 2-1B, you may first take a turn with one Droid you control that has the Field Medic Assistant special power

I added the bolded part in Medical Triage.

I'm concerned that giving up a turn to heal 1 wound will not often be worth it. If you have a hero that is losing 1 wound per OM to attacks, then healing just the 1 wound is only breaking even. Many of our Rebel Heroes are low defense figures. What if we bumped up his healing to 2 wounds?

[Arch-vile]

Won't the Field medic Assistant Droid also have a healing power, enabling two wounds healed per turn? Your concern still stands, though.

[Yodaking]

Will the FX-7 have automatic healing or just a D20 roll chance? If the bonding only gives a chance at a 3rd wound healed then I don't think it is too much to contend with. With 2-1B only healing Rebel Heroes, it is already limited in scope. The FX-7 will cost additional points to have on hand and at 3 life, 3 defense how many times could you pull it off before your opponent decides take 2-1B or the FX-7 out?

Chance, IMO.

And I think the FX-7 should be a Common Hero. He's not like the Rebel Captain or Imperial Officer or Fen Hydra or etc. I see him as more of a Wyrmling or Elemental or Thrall (something that has multiple version - like there are multiple versions of a medical droid).

As 2-1B is a surgical droid perhaps give him a stronger healing power but make it risky, like Kelda's healing power, however battle field surgery would probably not make sense thematically but still an idea.
