_________________________________________________________________​

Character Bio - Facing the imminent destruction of his home planet Krypton, the scientist Jor-El made the decision to evacuate his family to the distant planet Earth. Not willing to test the first space flight on his family, Jor-El sent the family dog Krypto first. Soon after, the planet was in absolute chaos and Jor-El was forced to send his only son Kal-El to Earth as well, as the rest of their ships were not ready to carry the entire family. The young child landed on Earth and was found and adopted by the Kent family. Several years later, as the child was becoming a young man, Krypto's ship finally arrived. It was late in its arrival because it was slightly knocked off of its course. Kal-El and Krypto were reunited and the two became best friends. Like Kal-El, the Earth's yellow sun gave Krypto amazing powers, and together, they would fight injustice and become known as Superman and Krypto: the Superdog.

Re: The Book of Krypto - Designing

NAME = KRYPTO

SPECIES = KRYPTONIAN
UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO
CLASS = COMPANION
PERSONALITY = LOYAL

SIZE/HEIGHT = SMALL 2

LIFE = 3

MOVE = 8
RANGE = 1
ATTACK = 4
DEFENSE = 5

POINTS = 80


SONIC BARK SPECIAL ATTACK
Range Special. Attack 3.
Choose 2 spaces in a straight line from Krypto. All figures on or within 1 space of the chosen spaces are affected by this special attack. Kryptonians are not affected by this special attack. Roll attack dice once for all affected figures. Each figure rolls defense dice separately. Symbiotes roll 1 fewer defense die against this special attack.

DARING DECOY
Figures engaged with Krypto can only attack figures that have the Daring Decoy special power.

KRYPTONIAN'S BEST FRIEND
After taking a turn with any other Unique Kryptonian Hero you control, you may move Krypto as long as he ends his movement adjacent to the Unique Kryptonian Hero. Krypto will not take any leaving engagement attacks when using this special power.

Re: The Book of Krypto - Designing

Only thing that may need to change here is the cost. Looks solid to me. :up:
 
Re: The Book of Krypto - Designing

Looks pretty cool Griff, a Super Sidekick :D
 
Re: The Book of Krypto - Designing

Yeah, the cost can fall however it may, I just like the idea of a Kryptonian "toss in" hero who will work in the Kryptonian faction just as well as in the Sidekick faction, which should be lots of fun with Superboy (Kon-El).
 
Re: The Book of Krypto - Designing

Seems a bit of an odd fit in the Titans faction, but there are others as well (Jubliee, etc.) so I'm OK with it. I do like how he works with Superboy.
 
Re: The Book of Krypto - Designing

Who, if you didn't know, was his owner/master before the "New 52" reboot. Conner Kent version.
 
Re: The Book of Krypto - Designing

Btw, good Design Griff! I had long thought he would have a Kryptonian version of Heroic Duty, little surprised but still a great write up!
 
Re: The Book of Krypto - Designing

Great design Griff.
 
Re: The Book of Krypto - Designing

Thanks, but I am locking this down until the timing is right.
 
Re: The Book of Krypto - Designing (On Hold)

As much as I think we all like the SP:

KRYPTO

KRYPTONIAN
UNIQUE HERO
SIDEKICK
LOYAL
SMALL 2

LIFE = 3
MOVE = 8
RANGE = 1
ATTACK = 4
DEFENSE = 4
POINTS = 100

KRYPTONIAN DEFENSE

When Krypto rolls defense dice against a normal attack from a figure that is not a Kryptonian, if at least one shield is rolled, all blanks rolled count as extra shields.

SONIC BARK SPECIAL ATTACK
Range Special. Attack 3.

Choose 2 spaces in a straight line from Krypto. All figures on those 2 spaces, and all figures adjacent to those 2 spaces are affected by Krypto's Sonic Bark Special Attack. Roll 3 attack dice once for all affected figures. Each figure rolls defense dice separately. Kryptonians are not affected by Sonic Bark Special Attack. Symbiotes roll 1 fewer defense die against Sonic Bark Special Attack.

I really want to lower his life number, up his defense number, drop the Kryptonian Defense, and give this pup Daring Decoy.

KRYPTO

KRYPTONIAN
UNIQUE HERO
SIDEKICK

What do you guys think? I just want this pup to work really well with Kryptonians and still be able to benefit any army, especially a Teen Titan army with Superboy in it. I feel that this rewrite would make Krypto work best in a TT army with Superboy, and that should be the case. Krypto, this way, would work REALLY well with Connor. :D
 
Re: The Book of Krypto - Designing (On Hold)

Yep, although I would have been fine with the Life staying at 3. He supposed to be proportionately the same as an adult Kryptonian.


PS: You can remove the (on hold) from the title now ;)
 
Re: The Book of Krypto - Designing (On Hold)

I'm not sure this guy is worth 100 points with 2 life ... I think I'd rather see 3 life, 5 defense, or 3 life, 4 defense.
 
Re: The Book of Krypto - Designing (On Hold)

I'd rather see 3 Life, 5 Defense. Otherwise, he'll just fall too quickly.
 
Re: The Book of Krypto - Designing (On Hold)

Agreed with 3 Life, unless you're planning a drop in points.
 
Re: The Book of Krypto - Designing (On Hold)

I have no preference in points. That was just "something" to put down when I first wrote the design up. I am mostly interested in the change in powers, so if you guys are OK with it and just want to maintain a point cost of about 100, I will keep the life at 3 and tinker with the defense in testing to ensure that he stays at 100 - which likely means Life 3, Defense 5.

SP updated.
 
Re: The Book of Krypto - Designing (On Hold)

I think the design looks ready to move forward now. Thanks.

Pass

- SYNERGIES TEST/ Compare the unit card with all possible currently existing synergies to make sure there are no factors that could break the game by making any unit too powerful or too weak.
Pass

- POWER CHECK/ Consider the test unit and all existing units and all glyphs to compare to and check for any powers that could be over amplified and break the game. Each power must define when it takes place, who or what it affects, and What are the stipulations on the power if there are any.

Pass

Heavy Hitter or Mid-Level Hero Test
- Does it pass, Yes or No? Yes.
- What should be the unit's point value? 90.
- Give a brief overview. Krypto is a decent little scrapper that doesn't stand up for too long, but his stats are somewhat admirable with his fast speed and flying as an added bonus.
Spoiler Alert!

_____________________________________________________________​


Squad Test
- Does it pass, Yes or No? Yes.
- What should be the unit's point value? 100.
- Give a brief overview. The speed and "tricky" range on his Sonic Bark gives him a nice surprise attack.
Map: Negative Zone.
Units: Krypto - VS - Hawkmen of Thanagar x1.
Spoiler Alert!

_____________________________________________________________​


Squad Test
- Does it pass, Yes or No? Yes.
- What should be the unit's point value? 100.
- Give a brief overview. That bark is a great way to clear squads.
Map: Negative Zone.
Units: Krypto - VS - Civilians x2.
Spoiler Alert!


_____________________________________________________________​



Army Test
- Does it pass, Yes or No? Yes.
- What should be the unit's point value? 100.
- Give a brief overview. Krypto is an great companion for any Kryptonian, especially Superboy, and we couldn't possibly ask for any more than that.
Map: Negative Zone.
Units: Krypto, Superboy (Connor), Superman II, Supergirl, Eradicator, and Bizarro - VS - Lex Luthor (Battlesuit), Lex Corp x1, Parasite, Metallo, Cyborg Superman, Civilians x1, and Mongol.
Spoiler Alert!

_____________________________________________________________​


Army Test
- Does it pass, Yes or No? Yes.
- What should be the unit's point value? 100.
- Give a brief overview. Engaging Gorgon with Superman and Krypto, Krypto did what he is supposed to do: make the aggressor take a lesser likely method of attack. In this case, Gorgon couldn't attack superman, so he stone gazed him instead, which isn't likely to pay off, but in this case it did.
Map: Negative Zone.
Units: Krypto, Superman I, Supergirl, and Eradicator - VS - Brainiac and Gorgon.
Spoiler Alert!
 
Re: The Book of Krypto - Designing

All done. 100 points seems fine.

24 hours on the clock.
