If you control Doctor Doom, and he is destroyed, roll the 20-sided die. If you roll 6 or higher, remove all but one wound marker from Doctor Doom's Army Card, destroy one Doombot you control, and place Doctor Doom on the space previously occupied by the destroyed Doombot. You may only roll once for all Decoy Doom special powers each time Doctor Doom is destroyed.

SUPER STRENGTH

FLYING





So we all pretty much agreed on this like a year ago in some discussion, and also in the brainstorming thread. Can we just move to playtesting, or is there something someone would like to see changed.

I like him. Anyway we can get him down to 100 points?

That was my first point total estimation, and then I started thinking about how he compares to DWs and I got lost.

[IAmBatman]

lol, I see. He'd make an easier add on if we could get him to an even point total, but, yeah, I'm good with you going forward to the initial playtest. Might want to give 24 hours for others to look in, though.

[Griffin]

You know, we may actually want to give him an odd point value along with Doctor Doom. That way these guys go well with our Doom and the official one. 105?

[IAmBatman]

Seems possible. A lot of villains are seeming to get 5 point endings (which means, strangely, the Fan Four will fit in armies with lots of villains).

Why did we go the Uncommon Hero route with them?

[IAmBatman]

Multiple life?

Doombots appear to be Doctor Doom to world. Everyone thinks they are fighting Doom until it dies and it reveals that it is a Robot. I think a life that is higher than 1 helps to create that illusion, plus these guys think for themselves in exactly the same way Doom does, so that independence is also represented to me by being able to treat them like a Unique Hero in every way even though they are not.

Is 2 really that big of a deal over 1? I honestly don't know them apart from Superhero Squad but there they were a dime a dozen & since we are going to be sacrificing them for Dr Doom anyway I would have thought a squad would have been more appropriate.

Cheers

A Unique Squad would be cool, but there is a problem with that too. If I could take multiple turns with a Doctor Doom knock off squad, why would I ever choose to use Doctor Doom. And if I never use Doctor Doom and put him in harms way, that Decoy of Doom power is completely worthless. I am still very much in favor of cheap Uncommon Heroes.
