Character Bio:
Born in Fannin County, Texas to a father who was a Minister and Lawyer, "Quick Draw" would not follow in his father's footsteps. Practicing for hours a day with a gun, even as a kid, Hardin honed the skills of a quick draw and pinpoint accuracy. Being slight of build, "Quick Draw" avoided verbal and physical confrontation at an early age, instead relying on his reflexes and accuracy with a gun to settle disputes. This method served "Quick Draw" well as few would cross him as his reputation of being the fastest gunman spread. But no matter how fast you are with a gun, it's hard to be faster than someone standing at your back with a gun already pulled while you are throwing the dice.

So there is no limit to the Quick Draw? It is basically a ranged Engagement strike which could be pretty powerful. I think there was a twice per turn limit at one point - maybe with the Skull version.

13+ isn't that easy to get but you could get lucky and take out a bunch of folks with it. What do you think of a twice per turn limit?

Also it has a Range 7 and he only has Range 6. I think they should match.

Thank you for the extra set of eyes on this!

Yes - the limit was in place previously because it prevented an attack for the ranged figure. The current version does not prevent an attack . . . unless it is a common figure who would die if a 13 or higher is rolled.

This is the same power that Garrett Burns has. I have played a few games with him - he is nothing special and overpriced in my opinion. But, he could be good against ranged squads of commons if the 20-sider is hot.

Hardin does have a double attack and is priced 20 points higher. I would think we should leave his range at 6, instead of 7 like Garrett Burns.

So, the simplistic fix would be to reduce the Quick Draw power down to a range of 6 to be in alignment with Hardin's range of 6.

Again, thank you for seeing this discrepancy!

Good catch Kai. Looks good to me.
