Re: Leaf_It's custom unit's and abilities

Wow, these are some really great ideas!!

Untitled # 3 (sort of teleport on d20) is pretty cool and I like Drag & Drop. Keep the good ideas flowing.

Re: Leaf_It's custom unit's and abilities

I like Jump Back. Good for skirmishers attacking a figure with no Order Markers on it while on the move.

Thanks guys. I enjoy coming up with stuff like this. I'm hoping to get something into the SoV some day.

Re: Leaf_It's custom unit's and abilities

Quote:
Name: Maltis Tez
General: Aquilla
Species: Hybrid
Uniqueness: Unique Hero
Class: Scout
Personality: Fearless
Size: Medium 5

Life: 3
Move: 7
Range: 1
Attack: 2
Defense: 3
Points: 100? (I'm bad at points)

RUNNING JUMP
Instead of his normal move, if the first 3 spaces are in a straight line, and on the same level, Maltis Tez may use running jump. Running Jump has a move of 3. For the next 3 spaces, ignore elevations. Maltis Tez may jump over water without stopping, pass over small or medium figures without becoming engaged, and jump over obstacles such as ruins. Maltis Tez may not jump more than 10 levels up or down. If Maltis Tez is engaged before starting to jump, they will take any leaving engagement attacks.

JUMP BACK
If Maltis Tez ends their move adjacent to an enemy figure, before or after attacking, you may move Maltis Tez 1 additional space that is not adjacent to that same enemy figure. Maltis Tez Never takes leaving engagement attacks when using Jump Back.

LUNGE FORWARD
Once per turn, after moving Maltis Tez at least 2 spaces in a straight line, if the move ended adjacent to an enemy figure, roll 1 additional attack die.
Matlis is a very mobile figure but he seems lack the punch of a 100-point hero. I'd put him more at 50-points. If you bump his life up to 5, I'd put him at 90 as is.

Maybe change JUMP BACK to ACROBATICS or TUMBLING so as not to confuse Jump Back and Running Jump.

For Lunge Forward - maybe borrow First Assault from Valguard.http://www.heroscapers.com/community...ead.php?t=8588

FIRST ASSAULT 3
When attacking with Valguard, if the defending figure was not adjacent to Valguard at the start of this turn, Valguard receives 3 additional attack dice.

It would be a big bump from your +1 for Lunge forward but, as proposed, Matlis is a 100-point figure with an attack of 3 (4 with height). I'd rather have another squad of Mohican's for that.

With Life 5 and First Assault 3, I'd think he's be around 100 points. He still doesn't bond but he's highly mobile and a good assassin for a "leaping through the air" with 5 attack.

I was going to put him at 60 - 80 points, but I was worried that I was just bad at figuring points.

I'm thinking of naming Jump Back "Evasion Instinct"

I might increase Forward lunge to 2 additional attack die, but I feel that 3 is too powerful. I don't really want him to be a 100 point character, and I'm glad no one else thinks he should be.

Re: Leaf_It's custom unit's and abilities

I like the +2 for Lunge better. I don't think I would bring him off the shelf with only a +1 (I'd rather have Zetacron).

With his mobility, he likely has height advantage so it is an attack of 5 which is solid for a 60-point figure. With only 3 life and 3 defense, he might fall pretty quickly to range (once he engages) but he's a supporting hero so that's okay.

Re: Leaf_It's custom unit's and abilities

Alright, I have 2 new Customs to share. I wanted Drow support, but I didn't want generic bonding.(ex: take a turn with another drow hero/squad you control) They're not not final, but here's how they currently are:

GLAURAD
Spoiler Alert!


XILARTH
Spoiler Alert!

No card image yet. Let me know what you think. I'm bad with points so tell me if you think they sound right.

Edit: to avoid double posting, I have altered the wording, and stats of the two customs. Most notably, Xilarth no longer has Prejudice, and now has Assassinate, which I feel is much more thematic, and fits the Drow species more.

Edit2: Reworked Guard of the drow so that it uses a d20.

Re: Leaf_It's custom unit's and abilities

These are awesome! Way to go. Do you have miniatures for the ones without pictures?

Check out my custom army cards!

My little brother always beats me. I'm very sad.

Yes. or rather, I have ordered them, but they haven't arrived yet. I will update them once I have pictures.

Re: Leaf_It's custom unit's and abilities

Maltis Tez
I'm liking the changes you made with this guy. Finding good climbing powers is always tough. I came up with one a while back that may work. You are welcome to use it if you want:

Quote:

I otherwise find it a little weird that he can basically net movement if he moves up exactly 2. Evasion Instinct plays nicely with his hybrid nature and is a cool power to boot. It will probably still be a little tough to keep up first assault with him (and he'll crumble when you can't), but he looks like a lot of fun for a 50 point hero.

Glaurad

He's a pretty cool design and he gives the drow quite a bit more added defense. They can potentially ignore a ton of wounds between him and their shadow ability. I don't quite get thematically how he's guarding the drow in this case. Unfortunately there is really no concept of "towards" in heroscape so his power doesn't quite work in that respect. Maybe you could cut out that complication and trim the wording by just placing him next to the guarded drow. Cursed Blade does feel a little off that it is an upside for the roll. You can accomplish about the same thing if you gave him 6 attack and had him subtract 3 if he rolled below a certain number. With that attack alone he may be better served in a Guard build for those points than trying to play body guard to the drow.

Xilrath

I guess this assassin just oozes shadow but that doesn't quite explain why certain terrain tiles would count as dungeon tiles. It's a little strange that this protects against lava field tiles as well but I guess shadows can have a soothing effect. It does feel a little odd that an assassin is such a protective unit but I guess it makes sense if it just so happens to be dark around him (in a way that only certain things can take advantage of). For gameplay, I'd consider moving your assassinate roll to before you move. It feels less tricky and more like blind luck to run out and hope to get a big hit against your target. Instead, you can plan your turn accordingly knowing whether or not you can assassinate your target.

I like that climbing ability. I was wondering how I could add the additional movement from the beginning of the move, instead of only after they have moved up a set number of levels.

Yeah, when I ran Xilarth and Glaurad through the Pre-SoV workshop, I re-designed them a bit, I just haven't updated this thread yet. Xilarth doesn't do anything with dungeon tiles anymore.
