The Book of Bolivar Trask

[Yodaking]

I'll make that my plan then, guessing 3 weeks or more since I haven't started on Constantine yet and it's the Holiday season now so I might be getting pulled in different directions or need to do some Christmas shopping instead of gaming. He needs to get voted through though before I can do the testing. His army builds will be pretty straight forward, but I'll mix up his opponents to see how he fairs vs. mutant as well as non-mutants.

As far as the Sentinels stuff goes I think we just need designer intent here - was this guy supposed to work just with the Sentinels we have or with any future Sentinels?

I assumed we were going forward with the plan that it would loop in future Sentinels, using Spidey's "Sentinel (Sentinel Mk V)" schema.

If we want to go back and retcon the OG Sentinels to be "Sentinel (Sentinel Mk I)" for consistency, I'd be fine with that.

My intent was for him to work with all sentinels but I guess we could leave it as is and if it's too much with future Sentinels we could always go the route proposed here to block out the future Sentinels and thematically make that work and argue that the future Sentinels were developed post Bolivar.

Completely forgot about this.

I propose we move Bolivar Trask to Initial testing.

[Yodaking]

yea

No big deal on the delay as I still have not gotten to the Constantine initial play tests, hopefully I can chip away at it this week but I also need to do some Christmas shopping as time is running out on that front.

[Ronin]

yea

[Arkham]

yea

[Spidey'tilIDie]

I'd love to see all the Sentinels work here, but we can still work on that.
Yea

[Tornado]

Yea

Alright, I just posted up the Constantine initial so Trask is now up next on my things to test list. Generally planning one test vs. the X-Men, one vs. the Brotherhood, and one vs. a mixed army of mutants and non-mutants. His armies are going to all be pretty similar since he's so closely tied to the Sentinels and MDR Troopers. I'll just try to mix up the numbers at least once. Anything else you want to see here Japes just let me know as I'm sure I won't get around to rolling any dice till next week at the earliest.

You still have 90,120 as his points and I'm guessing you meant 90-120 point range as an initial guess. Looking at how his allies break down though I'm wondering if we shouldn't try him at 80.

MDR x6 = 180
Sentinel x3 = 540
Trask @80.......800 point army?

Otherwise I'd bump up the # of Sentinels by 1 or double the number of MDR and go with Trask at 100 for a 1000 point army. That might be best since then they could face off vs. the Classic X-Men 1000 point build.

When you're playing 4,000,000+ point armies, he really does feel like he's worth about 90,120. Maybe 90,125.
