Re: The Book of Ronin - Breathing

NAME = RONIN
SECRET IDENTITY = CLINT BARTON

SPECIES = HUMAN
UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO
CLASS = FIGHTER
PERSONALITY = RESOLUTE

SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5

LIFE = 4

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

POINTS = 180

ARROW STRIKE SPECIAL ATTACK

Range 5. Attack 2.
When Ronin attacks a non-adjacent figure with this special attack, all skulls rolled count as an additional hit. If at least 1 skull is rolled, Ronin may immediately use his Stealth Leap special power and then attack with his normal attack or Nunchaku Onslaught Special Attack.

NUNCHAKU ONSLAUGHT SPECIAL ATTACK
Range 1. Attack 3.
When Ronin attacks with this special attack he may attack any and all figures adjacent to him. If Ronin inflicts a wound with this special attack and did not move normally this turn, he may immediately use his Stealth Leap special power and then attack with his normal attack.

STEALTH LEAP 6
Instead of his normal move, Ronin may move up to 3 spaces with Stealth Leap. When moving with Stealth Leap, Ronin has the Flying special power, but may not move up or down more than 6 levels in a single leap, and will not take any leaving engagement attacks when he starts to leap.

Re: The Book of Ronin - Breathing

Really love the chain of abilities here. I'd be down to do the initial Playtest for this dude when the time comes.

NINJA STAR SPECIAL ATTACK
Range 5. Attack 2.
When Ronin attacks a non-adjacent figure with this special attack, all skulls rolled count as an additional skull. If at least 1 skull is rolled, Ronin may immediately use his Stealth Leap special power and attack with his normal attack or Nunchuck Onslaught Special Attack.

NUNCHUCK ONSLAUGHT SPECIAL ATTACK
Range 1. Attack 3.
When Ronin attacks with this special attack he may attack any and all figures adjacent to him. If Ronin inflicts a wound with this special attack and did not move normally at the beginning of this turn, may immediately use his Stealth Leap special power and attack with his normal attack.

STEALTH LEAP 6
Instead of his normal move, Ronin may move up to 3 spaces with Stealth Leap. When moving with Stealth Leap, Ronin has the Flying special power, but may not move up or down more than 6 levels in a single leap, and will not take any leaving engagement attacks when he starts to leap.

Power names (as well as all other stats such as his Name, Identity, Class...) need to be in all caps for the artist, you need periods after the range and attack values for special attack and I updated the verbage to be more in line with standard. Anytime you refer to a special attack in its text you just say "this special attack".

Noted, thank you
 
Re: The Book of Ronin - Breathing

Pretty cool. :up:

So biggest chain potential is Stealth Leap 3 spaces, hit someone non-adjacent with Ninja Stars, Stealth Leap 3 spaces, hit them with the Nunchucks for a wound, then Stealth Leap 3 spaces and hit with the normal attack. Potentially brutal combo, but shouldn't trigger constantly.
 
Re: The Book of Ronin - Breathing

He'll wreck squads for sure, but otherwise I don't think he's broken. The combo is neat.

The martial artist in me requests that you use the classic "Nunchaku" spelling for his second SA. "Nunchuck" is an english misspelling from the 70's that got popular.

I think that is a good idea. Will do.
 
Re: The Book of Ronin - Breathing

On a similar note, is Ninja Star the most correct term? (Asking cause I don’t know myself.)
 
Re: The Book of Ronin - Breathing

Shuriken is the term you want there. But I think we have a special attack with that name.
 
Re: The Book of Ronin - Breathing

The better names are used in other designs, but open to other suggestions.
Patriot for example uses Throwing Star
Someone else uses the name Shuriken
 
Re: The Book of Ronin - Breathing

Ninja Star at least is a good description (And we should check for other SAs, yeah). Nunchuck is just a misspelling based on phonetic differences in languages.
 
Re: The Book of Ronin - Breathing

I have seen online the term Ninja Shuriken used, something that could be a possibility. But Ninja Star is also a common term
 
Re: The Book of Ronin - Breathing

Technically we have Bat-Shuriken utility glyph, Shuriken Launcher special attack (Azbats), and Precision Shuriken Special Attack (Ninjak) .... so we actually do have availability of just plain old Shuriken Special Attack if we wanted to go there.

Edit: Or Ninja Shuriken sounds cooler. :up:
 
Re: The Book of Ronin - Breathing

Surprise Shuriken SA. :p Cuz nobody expects a Shuriken.

(But, yeah, any of those are good. Strike probably makes the most sense with the skull doubling).
 
Re: The Book of Ronin - Breathing

I like alliteration and the reference to Deadly Strike which is why I suggested Shuriken Strike :)
 
Re: The Book of Ronin - Breathing

If there aren't any other issues I'd like to move forward with this design.
 
Re: The Book of Ronin - Breathing

SP still needs the power names to be in all caps, otherwise I like where this landed.
