Re: The Book of Balder - Designing
NAME = BALDER
SECRET IDENTITY = BALDER ODINSON SPECIES = ASGARDIAN UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO CLASS = WARRIOR PERSONALITY = BRAVE SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5 LIFE = 7 MOVE = 6 RANGE = 1 ATTACK = 7 DEFENSE = 7 POINTS = 420 GOD OF LIGHT Before taking a turn with Balder, you may reveal an “X” Order Marker on this card. For the rest of the round, other figures cannot use attacks or special powers that require clear sight on non-adjacent figures. FRIGGA'S MAGIC BLESSING When Balder would be destroyed in any way except by this special power, instead he takes no damage, and you must roll 1 combat die: • If you roll a skull, place 1 Wound Marker on this card; or • If you roll a shield, remove 1 Wound Marker from this card; or • If you roll a blank, inflict 1 wound on any figure within clear line of sight. RAGNAROK When Balder is destroyed, roll 1 unblockable attack die against each figure on the battlefield, one at a time. For the rest of the game, all Asgardians add 2 additional dice to their attack and subtract 2 dice from their defense. SUPER STRENGTH Last edited by tcglkn; January 27th, 2021 at 04:30 PM. |

Re: The Book of Balder - Designing
C3G INITIAL PLAYTEST FEEDBACK FORM
NAME OF THE TEST UNIT Balder - THEME TEST/ Check to see if there are any powers or stats on the test unit card that does not accurately reflect the theme or likeness of what the character would and could do. Also consider destructible objects, and whether or not this characters powers should affect them. Pass - MIRROR TEST/ Check to see if the unit were played against itself, if there would be any loops that would upset the balance of the Game. Pass - BONDING TEST/ Compare the unit card with all possible currently existing Bonding abilities to make sure there are no continual Bonding possibilities that do not stop appropriately or do not stop at all. This is to prevent loops in Bonding. Pass - SYNERGIES TEST/ Compare the unit card with all possible currently existing synergies to make sure there are no factors that could break the game by making any unit too powerful or too weak. Pass - POWER CHECK/ Consider the test unit and all existing units and all glyphs to compare to and check for any powers that could be over amplified and break the game. Each power must define when it takes place, who or what it affects, and What are the stipulations on the power if there are any. Pass - FUN TEST/ Consider whether or not the design was fun to play. Pass - FUN COMPETITIVE TEST/ Consider whether or not the design was fun to play against. Pass - DRAFTING TEST/ Consider whether or not this design is worth drafting. Pass - USAGE TEST/ Consider whether or not all of the powers on this card were used or at least usable. Pass - STRATEGY TEST/ Consider whether or not the design offers any real strategy or interesting tactics to the overall game. Pass Heavy Hitter or Mid-Level Hero Test - Does it pass, Yes or No? Yes. - What should be the unit's point value? 400-430. - Give a brief overview. Balder is a lot of fun, and is great at forcing figures to fight in engagement, though telepaths and figures that can "attack" from range without the need of line of sight will be good counters. Ragnarok should be a lot of fun as well, as it will be enough of a deterrent at times to keep players from wanting to attack Balder.
Spoiler Alert!
_____________________________________________________________ Squad Test - Does it pass, Yes or No? Yes. - What should be the unit's point value? 410. - Give a brief overview. Balanced and fun. The Agent had attrition, but they were taken off of their game with God of Light. Map: Custom. Units: Balder VS SHIELD Agents x4.
Spoiler Alert!
_____________________________________________________________ Squad Test - Does it pass, Yes or No? Yes. - What should be the unit's point value? 420. - Give a brief overview. The Kree are strong usually because of their board positioning and ranged attacks. The range gets nerfed with God of Light, and that really hindered them. However, they really should have won towards the end, but for an entire round, they didn't roll any skull on their attacks. Map: Custom. Units: Balder VS Kree Scouts x11.
Spoiler Alert!
_____________________________________________________________ Army Test - Does it pass, Yes or No? Yes, very close game, and Ragnarok really let Loki feel like a powerhouse against the weakened defenses of Asgard. Loki killing Balder to trigger Ragnarok was just pure thematic icing on this cake. - What should be the unit's point value? 410. - Give a brief overview. God of Light was a nice touch to countering Cap's Avenger boost, and Ragnarok was brilliant in creating what GP called Sudden Death Overtime. Map: Custom. Units: Balder, Thor, Sif, Volstagg, Fandral, and Hogun (2,000 points) - VS - Loki, Heimdall, Asgardian Warrior x5, and Captain America (C3G) (2,000 points).
Spoiler Alert!
_____________________________________________________________ Army Test - Does it pass, Yes or No? Yes. - What should be the unit's point value? 410. - Give a brief overview. God of Light is very useful here, as it shut down Surtur and Doc's range and flexibility, but it didn't hamper MrF's leadership in the slightest, because Clear Sight is not needed. His god-like stats were very handy in dealing with Surtur, but he was definitely far out matched and 410 felt just right. Map: Custom. Units: Balder, Mister Fantastic, Human Torch I, and The Thing (1,195 points) - VS - Surtur and Doctor Strange (1,200 points).
Spoiler Alert!

You can lose the comma after "instead" in Frigga. RAGNAROK When Balder is destroyed, roll 1 unblockable attack die against each figure on the battlefield, one at a time. For the rest of the game, all Asgardians add 2 additional dice to their attack and subtract 2 dice from their defense. |

Re: The Book of Balder - Designing
Ragnarok is really cool, it's gonna make him a must draft with Odin!
Also, in God of Light, it should be an "X" Order Marker. And I like how that affects all figures including your own so you won't automatically want to use it each round. Last edited by tcglkn; May 19th, 2012 at 08:18 PM. |

Re: The Book of Balder - Designing
Yeah, and if you are running all or most Asgardians, forcing the fight to go melee is gonna be SICK for them, especially for the melee Warriors 3.

Re: The Book of Balder - Designing
But if you try to run him with the Fantastic Four, he'll kill Invisible Woman's defensive boost. Hence the win/lose, some cases it will be really helpful, sometimes it will hurt you more. I really like it.

I plan on tweaking Balder to get him there too, if Hahma will let me. |
