Re: The Book of Alien Warrior (Design Phase)
I like it. Seems like a nice, fun, elegant design. I agree the theme on Shedding Skin is a bit lost, though, which is a shame, because I love it mechanically.
Shedding Skin is meant to trigger Acidic Blood, right? Fun combo, if so. It should say Uncommon Hero, not just Uncommon in the left box. C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

Re: The Book of Alien Warrior (Design Phase)
Understandable. The theme is lost and I don't really like the idea of having additional markers on the card (it over complicates a design that should be kept fairly simple overall) However, if the thematic aspects of the Alien Warrior/Drone life cycle aren't needed/desired then I personally would feel inclined to take this Warrior design and merge it w/ the Drone design:

Why don't you show what it would look like all written up.

Re: The Book of Alien Warrior (Design Phase)
I had an idea for a increase power kind of power linked to initiative wins but never found a good use for it. If I adapt it like below it might be something that fits your theme:

Re: The Book of Alien Warrior (Design Phase)
Since many fans consider them about the same, I like the thought of combing the designs into one.
When I think about the Warriors, Drones class in Scape, I see squads, but that just might be me. Coordinated Assault SA, Acidic Blood, and Xenomorph Tail Strike as the abilities, sounds fun to me. C3G team building links. |

Re: The Book of Alien Warrior (Design Phase)
I feel like the "lone alien that strikes from the shadows," like in Alien, has a very different feel than the ones they fight in Aliens. From what I understand the first one is the Drone and the second are Warriors, and I see them being pretty distinct, honestly.

Re: The Book of Alien Warrior (Design Phase)
I don't now about the theme, but if it's the "age difference" between the two types that's the differing factor, is it necessary to show this one as maturing during the battle? Wouldn't making it a stronger uncommon hero as opposed to a weaker squad imply strongly enough the differing level of maturity?
I think a design with Acidic Blood, some sort of Tail power (not SA), and a shadow ambush like ability would be pretty cool, especially if there's intended synergy later. My .

Re: The Book of Alien Warrior (Design Phase)
Great commentaries all around.
I like A3n's idea for growth and I think it could work, if we decide to incorporate the power. Quote:

That said, I think your question is worth some consideration, how much does it really add to have the Drone maturate? It may be best to address the maturation/life cycle process via a future synergy (facehuggers and/or eggs and maybe even use a similar mechanic as the one laid out by A3n). But before we get too caught up in this detail let's sort out the following: Based on the comments received thus far, I see the following options: Quote:
It'd be a Common Squad w/ stats and powers along the lines of: Life = 1 Move = 4-6 Range = 1 Attack = 5 Defense = 4 or 5 Quote:
It'd be an Uncommon Hero Life = 1 (bcuz it'd seem weird for it to have more life than a Warrior; although we can address concerns here later) Move = 2 or 5 Range = 1 Attack = 2 or 4 Defense = 2 or 4 Quote:

Re: The Book of Alien Warrior - VOTE (Design Phase)
Both would be fine with me, but based solely on mechanics, I have a slight preference for B (though I think it'd be better off without the growth power).

Re: The Book of Alien Warrior - VOTE (Design Phase)
I'm going to be a bit more pragmatic here and ask an important question before I vote:
Which path do the available minis best support? How many minis are available for this and how can they best be used (in more designs or fewer)? As in, will there be some really cool minis unlikely to be used if we condense? Or are there so few minis or are they so rare that condensing can be advantageous? I think the answer for me lies in the answers to those questions. C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

Re: The Book of Alien Warrior - VOTE (Design Phase)
C. I think the younger weaker Drones should be a squad & the Warrior be a stronger Uncommon Hero. I think it would be cooler to have lots of Drones running around making mob attacks & a few Warriors striking from shadows (from the roof would be even better ).
