I know Meggan is able to mimic classes so Warbound can be tested effectively. I'm not sure if there are similar designs with mimicry powers like that.

Stan Lee could be a Gladiator.

[Tornado]

That is pretty great.

___________________________________________________________

0-3 record here. Without more Gladiator buddies, I think he struggles to have a cohesive army around him. He performed well, though, getting value out of all of his powers.

I'd say maybe drop him 10 points and see how he does in public playtesting?

Thanks for the tests! I do agree that he will be better once more Gladiators are released, but I am happy with his results here. Does a 10 point drop sound right to everyone?

[Ronin]

pre-yea to moving ahead at 225-235

[IAmBatman]

Pre-yea at 225.

[AlexH12]

Trying not to move too fast here, but if everyone is ok with it I propose we move to Public Playtesting at 225 points.

[Arch-vile]

yea
