_________________________________________________________________

Character Bio - A Werewolf, also known as a lycanthrope is a supernatural being with the ability to shapeshift into a anthropomorphic wolf-like creature, either purposely after being placed under a curse and/or lycanthropic affliction via a bite or scratch from a werewolf. This transformation is often associated with the appearance of the full moon. Werewolves have increased speed, strength and an ability to heal non-fatal wounds as well as an appetite for human flesh.

Re: The Book of Werewolf: Design Phase

NAME = WEREWOLF


SPECIES = LYCANTHROPE
UNIQUENESS = UNCOMMON HERO
CLASS = CREATURE
PERSONALITY = WILD

SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5

LIFE = 5

MOVE = 6
RANGE = 1
ATTACK = 4
DEFENSE = 3

POINTS = 130

LYCANTHROPY INFECTION
Start the game with 3 brown Lycanthropy Markers on this Army Card. If there is at least 1 Lycanthropy Marker on this card and a Unique Hero receives at least 1 wound from this Werewolf's normal attack, place a Lycanthropy Marker from this card on the defending figure's Army Card. While a figure has a Lycanthropy Marker on its card, its Species is Lycanthrope instead of what is listed on the card. Androids, Cyborgs, and Undead are not affected by Lycanthropy Infection.

STEALTH POUNCE
Before taking a turn with this Werewolf, if he is unengaged, you may choose a figure on the battlefield. If the chosen figure does not have clear line of sight to this Werewolf, or if this Werewolf currently occupies a Shadow space, add 1 automatic skull to his normal attack against the chosen figure this turn.

HEALING FACTOR
After taking a turn with this Werewolf, remove 1 Wound Marker from this Army Card.

Re: The Book of Werewolf: Design Phase

Alright were up and running. I switched the mini choice to the Anubian Wolf, since several people already have that. I also reduced his height to be the correct size, for that mini.

I'd be up to reduce his attack and/or life by 1 each. Since he is an Uncommon Hero, I think having him come in with lower points is optimal so you could run several in one team.

Edit: I made him a DC, mainly so he can have the Construct exclusion in his Lycan Infection. I'm guessing they have some Werewolves in that universe.
 
Re: The Book of Werewolf: Design Phase

Is this a comic character? If it is unique, what is the secret identity?


wiki said:
Werewolf, in comics, may refer to:
  • Werewolf (Dell Comics), a superhero werewolf published by Dell Comics
  • Werewolf, the name of a number of Marvel Comics characters: There are
    rings known as the "Werewolf rings" that were obtained along with other magic items by Joshua Kane that were allegedly from Aelfric. After Kane’s death, his executor Geraldo Kabal gave one of the rings to Lou Hackett who used it to become an intelligent werewolf; it was apparently destroyed along with him. The second ring was taken from Kabal by Jack Russell, and it allowed him to retain his intellect (but not speak) until he lost it in Baron Thunder's building. The rings appeared in Werewolf by Night vol. 1 #20-21.
  • A Hungarian who developed the bloodlust when he was exposed to a drop of water in Uncanny Tales vol. 1 #23 was known as Werewolf.

EDIT: OK if he's uncommon, change the SP.
 
Re: The Book of Werewolf: Design Phase

Whoopsie, and here I was searching Comic Vine for uncommon Werewolves in comic universes. Found out there is some in DC for sure.
Spoiler Alert!
 
Re: The Book of Werewolf: Design Phase

Cool stuff REJ :)

Even though these guys will be Uncommon Heroes, the cost will help keep them from being thrown out there willy nilly. Not to mention being melee only, you probably won't want to have an entire army of them. So they may be played as a Unique Hero often, but have the flexibility to have more.

Glad they don't have a power like the Werewolf Lord where you can take control of the other figure that is bitten. Wouldn't really want to see that vs. a lot of the comic heroes, especially the 300+ point ones. So nice leave off there.

Changing the species will be just enough of a touch of messing with the opponent's synergy.

I could see a drop in defense to 3 maybe. They don't have much protection, any more than a normal human, and they can't claim to be martial arts experts for avoiding damage. Not to mention they have the Healing Factor.

I could almost see Super Strength. Even if they have the bare minimum to qualify, I've seen them represented as being pretty strong. But that's subjective and only a possibility but not necessary either.
 
Re: The Book of Werewolf: Design Phase

We did give the Vampire Minions super strength so I'd be in favor of it here too.
 
Re: The Book of Werewolf: Design Phase

I'm good either way on SS - do we have any help from any source material?

I'd back a drop to 3 defense for reasons Hahma stated. That should also drop their points a tad.

Sentence structure fix:

STEALTH POUNCE
Before taking a turn with Werewolf if he is unengaged, you may choose a figure on the battlefield. If the chosen figure does not have clear line of sight on this Werewolf or if it occupies a Shadow space, add 1 automatic skull to his normal attack against the chosen figure this turn.

I'd list the Infection power first on the card because it has a start of the game power.

Otherwise, everything looks good to go for an initial to me. :up:
 
Re: The Book of Werewolf: Design Phase

Looks like Werewolf By Night can lift 1-2 tons.
 
Re: The Book of Werewolf: Design Phase

Hmm. That's real borderline. I believe our standard was 2 tons, right? And, presumably, Werewolf By Night is among the elite of Werewolves, since he's got unique status. That tells me that the average Werewolf probably falls below the SS threshold.
 
Re: The Book of Werewolf: Design Phase

I'd prefer to take Werewolf by Night as our "Subject Alpha" for this Werewolf... which means having him as Marvel and all that. (I think you can keep the Construct restriction, even so - I mean, how many Symbiotes are in the DC Universe? Yet, Black Canary's card...)

Otherwise, that looks good to me. Stealth Pounce without Stealth Leap should be interesting mechanically.
 
Re: The Book of Werewolf: Design Phase

We actually researched and found that Symbiotes exist in the DCU for what it's worth. :p They're just not anything we'll ever likely see in C3G.
 
Re: The Book of Werewolf: Design Phase

I could see lowering there defense to 3, they are just furry humanoids without any armor or such. They also didn't receive any special training like the Gorilla City Warriors. 3 defense with 5 life and Healing factor will still keep them in the game for a bit and give them a hurry up and take them out feel when playing against them. I like it, when the 48 is up I will update with this change.

I can see the unique Werewolves like Werewolf by Night having SS, but what about the more common versions? Interesting question, the Common Vamps have it, but from what I remember they (the Vamps) were always stronger even the newly changed Vamps were uber strong. Don't have alot of experience reading them, so I'm pulling from more TV, Buffy and such. Make them from the Dark Horse universe? I see them about on par with Kingpin, very strong but not SS. I'm in favor of leaving SS off their card, and having them from Dark Horse. Thoughts?

Nice verbiage catch Bats, I will update when the 48 is up.
 
Re: The Book of Werewolf: Design Phase

I'm with you on all points, REJ. :up:
 
Re: The Book of Werewolf: Design Phase

I'd still push for Marvel. Is the plan still to have the non-Werewolf Jack Russell that transforms into one of these Werewolves?

Also good with dropping the defense - it feels more "Werewolfish" to get hit a lot, but just keep coming.

They are not in Marvel comics as often as they are in Dark Horse with Buffy and all, so I'm still leaning that way.

Nah, Jack Russell is specific these are just a random pack of Werewolves.
 
Re: The Book of Werewolf: Design Phase

I'm all about Buffy getting some furry friends. :-D It's not like we can't use them as general Werewolves anyway, kind of like how most folks use the Street Thugs, 5th Precinct Beat Cops, Bad Cops, and Hand Ninja.
 
Re: The Book of Werewolf: Design Phase

I mean, around THIS POST, you were talking about just creating alter egos for various "werewolf" characters and having them transform into generics. If we're not headed in that direction, though, I'm find going Dark Horse, I suppose.
 
Re: The Book of Werewolf: Design Phase

Your right I was thinking about that for a moment but then someone (?) mentioned that wouldn't be thematically correct. Since Jack is specific and these are uncommon, it just didn't add up, I agree with that so I would be against it.

Good to hear your on the Dark Horse bandwagon.
 
Re: The Book of Werewolf: Design Phase

If these guys are intended to just be regular werewolves and not transformations for Unique characters, Dark Horse would be a good fit, I think. Hellboy's gone up against a few werewolves as well.
 
Re: The Book of Werewolf: Design Phase

If Hellboy's seen 'em, Dark Horse is definitely the best choice for me.

3 defense is very agreeable. :up:
 
Re: The Book of Werewolf: Design Phase

I like Dark Horse. :up:
Image would also work. Lots of werewolves and vampires in Astounding Wolf-Man.
 
Re: The Book of Werewolf: Design Phase

With the reduction in defense, I reduced his points, I think he compares to Creeper pretty well so I'm working from that. So far here's where we are at. Changes in Red
Spoiler Alert!


If any one has the Mini and can snap some pictures it sure would be appreciated. I like the one with its arms outstretched at it's side like it's about to give a big hug, but I ain't picky.
 
Re: The Book of Werewolf: Design Phase

Looking good, REJ. I can get some pics for you today.
