The Book of Ventriloquist

[Scapemage]

Even with 3 attacks, 2 dice won't achieve much, whihc has been said. His base attack is fine, but I think his Machine Gun should thrive at 4 attack. If you want more of a passive figure though, 3 attack for the SA would work. Maybe, as a suggestion, if you wanted him to have some attack power, you could allow his SA to recieve hieght bonuses.

No way, sorry. Like we already said, he's going to be more of a cheerleader Crime Lord, with his movement bonus being his main power. He's meant to command his thugs and thieves, not be shooting everyone up. If we REALLY want, we could bump up his attack to 3, but I prefer it lower. Dropping the range is fine, regardless, it IS a Tommy Gun, not known for their accuracy!! But NO to four.

So, should I bump up his normal attack back up to 2? Also, any other comments about the suppressive fire, thing? I know the Tommy Gun is kind of bland (It didn't USED to be, but I'm liking this direction better), and that could spice it up, but I don't think it NEEDS anything else.

This could be a nice figure background. Having Ventriloquist in an alleyway would be nice.

One other thought is to keep the 2 attack on the SA and consider 4 attacks. The Tommy Gun is rapid, though inaccurate. The extra attack is more about balancing out the weakness of the attack itself (what I'm saying if 4 attacks of 2 kind of feels like the right amount of damage/effect, even if the 4 attacks seems a bit high mechanically).

First off, it's CG, so I don't know if the art department will like it. Secondly, I was thinking more of a gang hideout or something. Or maybe someplace being robbed, etc... I tried a few searches, but couldn't find anything.

The only problem with that is that he still DOES bond with the thugs, which would mean 8 attacks. I think that's just a bit too much.

And hey, I've taken Superman out with street thugs, and their attacks of 2, so I don't think there's a problem with him being too weak.

I think range 4, attack 3, triple attack sums up the Tommy Gun well for me. You'll fail enough on the triple attack of 3 to put plenty of wounds on Ventriloquist, but not so much that you'll never want to bother trying.
I think an attack of 2 for Wesker as well, just because 1 is almost too pitiful ...

I agree. 1 attack is Blastatron level, we don't even want to go there.

Seeing as I leave for North dakota tomorrow, this will probably be my last contrabution for a while as I still have a lot to do before I get on the train tomorrow, but here are some mini backgrounds I was able to dig up.

Bank vault 1

Bank vault 2

hideout

The hideout pic would need some cover up on the grapheti, but it was the closest Gotham looking one I could find.
