The Book of Sabretooth

[Lord Pyre]

I had a problem with Green Goblin when he first came out. I just tried on a couple different computers until he eventually worked.

Sabretooth fits into a lot of different builds. I guess it makes sense, though... he and Wolverine are two of the least lonely loners on the face of the planet.

Character Bio - Sabretooth is a mutant who possesses bestial superhuman abilities, most notably a rapid healing factor, razor-sharp fangs and claws, and superhuman senses. He is a vicious assassin responsible for numerous deaths both as a paid mercenary and for his personal pleasure. While both Wolverine and Sabretooth were victims of the supersoldier program Weapon X, Sabretooth saw Wolverine as competition and tried to make his life miserable. Creed eventually adopts a tradition of tracking Logan down on his birthday with the intention of fighting him. Sabretooth has always managed to find him, no matter where Logan was or what he was doing, and come within an inch of killing him. Sabretooth's only reason for this is to remind Wolverine that he could.

A few comments on DEVASTATING POUNCE SPECIAL ATTACK.

• For Heroscape standards and good grammar, "destroyed with" should be corrected to "destroyed by." (The inhabitants of Pompeii, for example, were killed with their neighbors but killed by Vesuvius.)
  
  
• "A space" seems preferable to "the space," since Sabretooth can pounce on double-based figures. (As written, it seems like it's debatable whether he has to land on the "space he attacked" or can land on either space occupied by the victim.)
  
  
• To make it just a wee bit shorter and more readable (and, I would argue, a trifle more thematic), "place one Wound Marker on this card" could be replaced with the more economical (and also Scape-standard) "Sabretooth receives 1 wound."

Here's what all of that would look like in context:

DEVASTATING POUNCE SPECIAL ATTACK
Range Special. Attack 6.
Choose a non-adjacent figure within 4 clear sight spaces whose base is not higher or lower than 6 levels from the base of Sabretooth. Before attacking, place Sabretooth adjacent to the chosen figure. If the chosen figure is destroyed by this special attack, immediately place Sabretooth on a space that was occupied by the chosen figure. If the figure is not destroyed, Sabretooth receives one wound. When Sabretooth is moved by this special attack, he will take any leaving engagement attacks.

Every now and then I get an email telling me that an old thread here has a new post and for some reason I read through this entire thread...
Such great memories of a period of time in my life where a bunch of strangers on the internet achieved something awesome...
I'm so proud to have been a part of it all for as long as I was...

They say old men see the past through rose coloured glasses...

It truly was a great period for the group back then. We definitely had a lot of laughs.

Nice to see you pop back in & reminisce. Don't forget if you are ever visiting your dad, there's always a game waiting for you here.
