_________________________________________________________________

Character Bio - Volstagg is fairly advanced in age for an Asgardian, and it has been alluded to that he was a highly respected and feared warrior in his prime. Volstagg is a huge, bumbling oaf much given to boasting and bragging, the last into battle and the first to claim victory (usually undeserved). Referring to himself as "The Lion of Asgard," he usually causes more problems than he solves and seems totally unaware of the chaos that almost always followed in his wake. Even so, he is considered a trusted and worthy comrade by his closest friends and allies, Fandral the Dashing, Hogun the Grim, and Thor. _________________________________________________________________

Background:

[SirGalahad]

Seems odd that he should be a Medium 5 like most everyone else, if he's supposed to be so much more voluminous.

Should the figure information say "Modified Heroclix figure"?

Like the M&M power.

You are right, assuming there is a point in that and not just an honest question (Your cryptic points are annoying as crap btw. You are such a teacher/principal. ) He has a height of 6 and he is as "big" as Juggernaut. Should he be Large? I am leaning toward yes, if for no other reason than because it just adds a level of fun to the game.

Should the figure information say "Modified Heroclix figure"?

It isn't modified though... well no more than any other figure that has terrain or other figure's attached to it. I don't want to have to add that to the list of things we need to do to these books, just let each person figure out what to do with their own figures. For me, I cut the orc off of the base and foot, then cut Volstagg off of the base and put both of his feet on a new base so it looks like he is running forward.

Like the M&M power.

Thanks. It should compliment the Hunger Pains well, I think, which was a great idea of Tickle's.

Large 6 is good for me!

The Hulk, Abomination, Wendigo and Blob are all Medium.

Cool design.

[A3n]

Design looks fun.

[tcglkn]

I'm very happy with this design! Medium 6 is all this guy needs to be, he's not bigger than the Hulk.

I seem to remember once or twice someone asking seeming rhetorical questions of me to get me to the answer he was looking for.

Yeah yeah yeah. I am allowed to be annoying though, it's part of my online personality.

Yeah, sign me up for Medium 6 too.

Fixed.

I do sort of miss the older version of Meat and Mead. I wish there was a second way you could use the markers, but that'd probably require a fourth power, which I'd be against. So probably better to keep this guy nice and elegant.
