However him fitting in a HYDRA build is also a good goal. Would I want it to be everything I love...sure...but that's just not realistic so I'm going to focus on finding things that will make me unhappy and work on fixing those. |

Re: The Book of Crossbones (Initial Playtesting)
Yeah, him getting subbed into a Hydra build in place of Madam Hydra makes sense if their is a popular Hydra build people are already using with her in it. I'm not sure what the Hydra builds look like since Red Skull's price was bumped up, don't think I've played them since that happened.

Re: The Book of Crossbones (Initial Playtesting)
Red Skull (250), Strucker (210), Madame H (140), and Hydra Agents x5 (400) is now a 1,000 point build. So having some alternates for that army could be fun. 160 would also make him swapable with Hydra Agents x2, which would be cool as well.

Re: The Book of Crossbones (Initial Playtesting)
I think 160 was my thinking forever ago for this reason.

Re: The Book of Crossbones (Initial Playtesting)
Since I generally max my squads out at x3, the 160 direction looks better to me.

Re: The Book of Crossbones (Initial Playtesting)
So after that, here's the changes I'm considering.
Quote:
Switched up Human Shield a little bit. I found it really frustrating to have this power set up perfectly, with one of my own squad figures adjacent to Brock, only to have the power not work because of a D20 flub. I tried to use it twice in my games, and it failed both times. Hoping this new version isn't too much of a course correction in the opposite direction, but I really feel like choosing your own figure should always work, similar to Lex II or Madame Hydra. |

Re: The Book of Crossbones (Initial Playtesting)
I'm okay with it being more of an automatic thing for human shield, it's why I mentioned lowering the roll when you said he wasn't winning any matches at 150. It should be a key note power of his. The fact you only used it twice in 4 games is a little concerning. I know you only ran him with squads once and heroes are harder to keep adj. to each other, but someone like Bane should be a natural ally for him. Boosts his stats by 1 and has 6 life to soak up some wounds. At that point I might just target Bane though instead of Crossbones, but that's still buying him more time to use his double attack. I'm just not 100% sure how I feel about him auto grabbing someone like Cap to use for a human shield. Squads I can see automatically getting used as pawns, but I have to think about how to deal with his hero allies.

Re: The Book of Crossbones (Initial Playtesting)
I'd like a small failure rate for Human Shield still, even if it's just 1 or 2. People should be able to wriggle out of it - he's just strong arming, he's no Lex. And I still have some pretty strong objections to "4 attack or less" and "no Super Strength" - it's just a messy, inelegant power which is the opposite of what a light thematic touch should be.
Other than that, I agree he probably could use a minor boost. JOHNNY139'S CLASSIC CUSTOM THREAD! | Visit now!
