Re: Parademon Shock Troopers - Design

Alright, this is the 2nd time now I've seen someone use the previous LD's name as the link for the Legacy Design. We need to decided what the expectations are there with that section so we can all be on the same page. I don't have a preference, I just need to know if I have a bunch of links to update.
 
Re: Parademon Shock Troopers - Design

I've stuck to the character name for all of my links and support doing it that way. If they want to know the OG LD, they can click the link. :p
 
Re: Parademon Shock Troopers - Design

Oh, huh, good catch.

I was always thinking of it as the place to give the 1.0 LD a shout, hence it being in the 'credits' section.
 
Re: Parademon Shock Troopers - Design

I do think LDs deserve credit but I also still tout the "every LD is a collaborative design" mantra, so I'm iffy on needing to go all in on the shout outs like that.
 
Re: Parademon Shock Troopers - Design

Yeah, I feel that. An LD credit isn't an all-encompassing credit. Like acknowledging the director of a movie that several hundred people worked on. It still feels more substantive to me to give some attempt at a nod though. Just a unit name is... useful for archival purposes I guess, but it doesn't feel like much of a credit at all.

I guess I don't feel like I'm going all-in. I feel like I'm half-assing it because full-assing the credits just isn't feasible in this situation. :lol:

I have my preference, but I'll update with whatever the group decides.
 
Re: Parademon Shock Troopers - Design

Sure. I can go either way as well. For me the link itself is the credit.
 
Re: Parademon Shock Troopers - Design

I'm okay either way. Giving credit to the previous LD when someone else converts a design makes some sense to me though. Not as much when you are converting your own designs.
 
Re: Parademon Shock Troopers - Design

Well now that we've figured out the Legacy Design stuff :D

Any comments on the actual design/text here?
 
Re: Parademon Shock Troopers - Design

Pretty sure it's how I had it written up, so you've got me :up: :p
 
Re: Parademon Shock Troopers - Design

I'd definitely go "a" Parademon Shock Trooper in the first ability.

I don't know if AW really needs a second "timing" in it? You could just check dice -> inflict wound. Might want an SA restriction in there? Bigger deal if we plan to reuse it.

House style was singular species on squads in 1.0, but not attached to that.

so you are suggesting something like this...

APOKOLIPTIAN WEAPONRY
If a Parademon Shock Trooper rolls all skulls during its normal attack, the defender receives 1 wound before rolling defense.

I'm not sure on the strike out portion. It could be interpreted that they just receive 1 wound and then the attack ends ignoring the rest.
 
Re: Parademon Shock Troopers - Design

I'd just go...

When a Parademon Shock Trooper rolls all skulls for a normal attack, inflict 1 wound on the defender.

I can see the reading-it-as-it-stops-the-attack thing, but I'd like to move toward an aesthetic of cards just working like they say. Ignoring the attack is an extra thing the ability doesn't tell you to do.
 
Re: Parademon Shock Troopers - Design

I like the "when" there to establish the trigger is when the dice are rolled. Good call. :up: Attack action timing, even with our added terminology, is such a weird morass of things.
 
Re: Parademon Shock Troopers - Design

Makes sense. UPdated.

I guess the only thing left here is finalizing the discussion on "damage die" for the first power. So no lets do the vote and then I'll hold it here until that's finished so Art doesn't have to be retouched later...

I propose moving to ART
 
Re: Parademon Shock Troopers - VOTE FOR ART

Yea and sounds good. I believe we're still wanting Arkham weigh-in on that in the Main Discussion area so at least all Heroes have had a voice before that change is made.

for sure. Which is why I didn't change it here. It was more a note to myself to not move it yet just in case. Trying to be respectful of Ark's time.
