Yeah I understand it, the main difference between HP and the other base stats, is the others are checked and utilized at a given moment, whereas HP is more persistent. I had a brain fart in that I wasn't thinking of damage as separate from HP, even though I have acknowledged it that way recently. I'm not saying +10 HP is bad, I'm just making sure the intent on how it works is clear.

don't shiv a git 'bout Plut

but this guys cool

Well, once again, I picked something that wasn’t popular. Oh well, moving on …

Blemelisk – I saw that, among other things, Junk Boss and Wager seemed the most controversial and Blem goes straight for Junk Boss; good for you if you think that’s needed. Personally I think Con Artist may not be around much longer and Plutt won’t have J-Boss in its present form for long, but that’s IMHO. I can see the upgrades bit & like the CE (could use some rewording) but I’m still not sure about the Reserves bit …


jen'ari – I like Rations & I can see Emplacement. While I hate the V-Set Junk Boss (and appreciate your different take on it) I’m not sure about it’s wording. Like that it limits you in that you Have to be adjacent to an enemy. Not sure how useful but what bugs me I don’t see a connection between the ability definition and the Title of the Ability itself. Sounds like it should be named “Just Follow My Orders Sleemo” as anything else


Lord Ball – Losing Diplomat for Trade Mark makes much more sense, although the name itself seems a little strange (Trade no, mark fine.) So Trade Boss is basically Tactics Broker in that you waste an activation to swap init. Rolls? Hmmm … and the CE gives you a fallback bonus for losing Initiative anyway … sneaky.


GG – Like the CE. As I look at escalation, makes me think. If the opponent adds 4 5pt characters, does that mean Plutt can add 4 10 pt. Thug characters? Sounds, yes, escalated, but can be too advantageous. That sounds like you could 4 Klat BS Thugs …. Decided advantage for you ….
… let’s keep it simple.

3rd – GG

2nd - Jen’ari

1st - LB

Peace,
surf

3rd Surf, still don't like reserves hate but at least it's way toned down here
2nd Jen'ari, simple is good and you took sound critique to reign him into an interesting and thematic emplacement
1st Blem, still not 100% on the CE but you made the most Junk boss type character

LB I still think the initiative swap as a special ability is too potent and primarily goes after reserves (which contrary to what the people that made the Vset Unkar think isn't actually a strong or dominant squad type and is in fact, outside of Pong, one of the weakest so I don't think they need a hard Lobot reinforcements counter) but everything else looked sound on him.

Everyone did good and had a massive improvement over the old Unkar but this week still left a weird smell of portions and alien sweat on the CCC, I think that the Vset Unkar just ruined the actual character for me in the same way that SWM made Gha and interesting one. Interesting how the game has that strong of an effect. Screw Unkar and onto next week!

Getting ready to play and wanted to get votes in, will add more later


1. LordBall
2. Surf
3. general Grievous

Blem you are the swing vote!

1: Lord Ball
2: GG
3: Jen'ari

hmm, what to do....



I wouldn't call it a hard reserves counter (not like "wager"), instead I would call it a Hard Initiative roll control counter, as the rerolls in the high reserve squads are usually ridiculous and rather annoying it addresses the real issue of the squad type instead of the function.
