_________________________________________________________________

Character Bio - Mutation, highly evolved animal, or son of the shark god? King Shark's origins are mysterious, as are his allegiances. An enemy of Superboy then later a reluctant ally, King Shark has also been a mentor to Aquaman and a member of both the Suicide Squad and the Secret Six. What's not mysterious about King Shark is where he can be found: in the midst of battle, wherever the scent of blood is in the water.

Re: The Book of King Shark - Design Phase

NAME = KING SHARK
SECRET IDENTITY = NANAUE

SPECIES = SHARK
UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO
CLASS = OUTLAW
PERSONALITY = FEROCIOUS

SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5

LIFE = 7

MOVE = 5
RANGE = 1
ATTACK = 4
DEFENSE = 5

POINTS = 220

WATER STRENGTH 1
King Shark does not stop his movement when entering a water space. Add 1 die to King Shark's attack and defense while he is on a water space.

FEEDING FRENZY
When King Shark attacks, he receives 1 extra attack die for each Wound Marker on the defending figure’s Army Card, to a maximum of 3 additional attack dice for Feeding Frenzy. When King Shark destroys a figure with his normal attack, he must attack again. King Shark must continue attacking with his normal attack until he does not destroy a figure.

SUPER STRENGTH

Re: The Book of King Shark - Design Phase

Looks good to me. :up: This is a pretty straightforward one. There's a few ways you could get the theme of Feeding Frenzy across, but I think this is a solid one.
 
Re: The Book of King Shark - Design Phase

Might want to specify normal attack in the first part of Feeding Frenzy.
 
Re: The Book of King Shark - Design Phase

Nice, I like it. :up:

We'll have to keep a close eye on him in testing, the potential for 10 attack dice and multiple attacks is scary. He'll love being paired with Tempest.
 
Re: The Book of King Shark - Design Phase

Should he really be hitting as hard (harder in water) as Superman?

Otherwise nice streamlined design. :up:
 
Re: The Book of King Shark - Design Phase

Water Strength adding to everything else frightens me a bit. How about we do something like this instead?

WATER SPEED 2
King Shark does not stop his movement when entering a water space. Add 2 to King Shark's Move if he begins his turn on a water space.

Eh, we already have units like Tiger Shark who has 7 attack, 7 defense, and Water Strength 1, and Aquaman (I) who has 6 attack, 5 defense, and Power of the Deep. 5 attack, 5 defense and Water Strength 2 isn't that scary in my opinion. :shrug:

I do find his potential for 10 attack a bit much though, I wouldn't mind seeing Feeding Frenzy cap at +2.

My :2cents:.
 
Re: The Book of King Shark - Design Phase

10 Attack does worry me a little. I almost dropped Water Strength to 1 when I posted it. Getting to 10 does require being on a water space adjacent to a Hero with 3+ wound markers on it, so it's not exactly an easy feat. I'd be fine with dropping Water Strength down 1 and/or lowering the boost from Feeding Frenzy or lowering his base Attack by 1. I wouldn't want to go too low though, dude is a super-powered, demi-god shark.

I don't mind adding it, but it's not really necessary. He doesn't have a Special Attack, and SAs are never modified anyway.

I don't know, most water spaces are either near the center of the map, or on the outside. Meaning he doesn't need the boost or he would have to move outside the battle just to get a boost moving back in. I would rather lower the boosts from his other powers first.
 
Re: The Book of King Shark - Design Phase

Ahh, a character I've been expecting for a long, long time.
 
Re: The Book of King Shark - Design Phase

Okay, this is what I'm leaning toward now:

When attacking with King Shark, he receives 1 extra attack die for each Wound Marker on the defending figure’s Army Card, to a maximum of 3 additional attack dice for Feeding Frenzy. When King Shark destroys an opponent's figure with his normal attack, he may attack again. King Shark may continue attacking with his normal attack until he does not destroy a figure.

Re: The Book of King Shark - Design Phase

I feel better about that :up:.
 
Re: The Book of King Shark - Design Phase

I'm good with that. 4 Attack seems a bit puny but he'll be getting bonuses pretty consistently, so...
 
Re: The Book of King Shark - Vote for CRB/Initial!

SP updated with 4 Attack and Water Strength 1. I propose we move to CRB/Initial phase.
 
Re: The Book of King Shark - Vote for CRB/Initial!

Yea
 
Re: The Book of King Shark - Vote for CRB/Initial!

Yea
 
Re: The Book of King Shark - CRB/Initial

I really liked this guy's dancing at the Super Bowl.

No concerns - could so some insane stuff if his range gets modified somehow, but that's already true for Non and Carnage as well.
 
Re: The Book of King Shark - CRB/Initial

No concerns from me.

He pairs pretty well with Catman, if Catman wounds someone he can activate King Shark, and King Shark's Feeding Frenzy triggers from the wound(s) if Sharky attacks that figure again. Pretty neat combo.
 
Same

I mean sure Mister Sinister could boost his range but I almost think Carnage is a better call there but otherwise nice fun figure that I wished existed now so he could be one of my Elemental armies.
