    Looks good so far . . . I like that Mount power.

    I'm not sold on it being uncommon and wouldn't mind it being unique.

    SECLUDED PREY ..

    WOW, I love that name!!!

    How about:

    When a Goblin you control attacks a figure adjacent to at least one Goblin Dog Rider you control, if the defending figure is not adjacent to a friendly figure, the attacking Goblin receives an additional attack die.

    Sounds better, OP updated.

    I'm not sold on it being uncommon and wouldn't mind it being unique.

    If we did make it Unique instead of Uncommon the MOUNT power would need to be dropped I think. I would hate to waste the power on a Unique Hero that could only use it once. But I am open to going Unique if that is what we decide.

    I'm OK with uncommon . . . I was just afraid of price, I guess.

    TandT = $8.00 each
    CoolStuff = sold out
    E-Bay = $4.00
    MiniMarket = $3.00 and they have 19 in stock!

    I'm good with getting a few more and making them uncommons at $3 per.

    I, too, like Secluded Prey.

    FYI ... I have 2 of the Goblin Dog Riders.  I am happy to share.

    But if you want to get in on a Mini Market order - just let me know. I think 3 is optimal for the Slasher Mob : P

    I would want 3 more of this guy if you do an order. I also need Kronan, Kaelix, Michael, and Alyssa if available (my last two orders have not worked out for these guys. Also Kai, did you ever find your missing microcorp troopers figures?

    I have a Kaelix for each of you, and an extra Michael Davion.

    And no - never found my MicroCorp Troopers : (

    I can do a MM order soon. Let me know what you want. At the low point cost, I'm thinking 4 Dog Riders is optimal.

    Kai, Derek gave me the two unique Goblins to give to you - I have them to pass off the next time we meet. And thanks for the Kaelix!

    Derek needs Alyssa, Kronan, 3 more Goblin Dog Riders
    Kai needs 2 more Goblin Dog Riders.
    I need 3 more Goblin Dog Riders.

    Maybe I should start a new thread for this.

    I'll keep looking to if the Microcorp are around here somewhere.  Another thread may be good so that we can list some future figures that plan on being designed if there is enough interest in the figures.  I recently got a bones dragon and a couple of bones cowboys to see how they looked, and I am kind of excited to get to painting them.  Thanks for the Kaelix and Michael Davion as the haven't been available in my last couple of orders, although I finally did track down the Wardens of the Wood.  Very Happy Also need 3 of the bodyguards or enforcers.

    Ha! I ordered the War Chief and Wolf Rider just the other day : ) I was getting excited for Goblin Madness!!

    I have 3 Squads of Slashers already. I also have a pile of Pathfinder mini's to pick through to see what else I have.

    I'm so sorry, Kai. I thought Derek told you these were coming to you. I should have brought them done to you last time we did the scenario at your place back in April - I just forgot I had them. We can switch these for yours since they already rebased.

    Derek - it looks like you'll have a couple to put in as a prize in a tournament.

    Sorry guys - I dropped the ball.

    Aaah, no problem!  Some extra 'Scape is always nice. I sit in front of a computer all day - and am a bit of a compulsive shopper. eBay is my best friend and worst enemy : P

    Derek and Kai wrote:I think the Dog Riders are under-costed. Secluded Prey is nice but the Mount ability is pretty nice as well. If you wanted to keep their points lower, I'd drop them to 2-Life and stay at 40-points.

    If everyone agrees I think I would lean towards 2 life here (1 for the dog, 1 for the goblin I'm thinking).

    I love Secluded Prey and Mount powers.

    After our play tests, I think he should be 50 points or drop him 2 life at 40 points. Same as Kai. This is really three lives, 2 for the Dog Rider and then 1 more after the Goblin appears after the Dog is dead.

    Another option is to make them Common Heroes (which would be easier to track on the board). This would mean a life of 1, but we could bump their defense to 4 and maybe drop the points a bit depending on play testing.

    My preference would be as a common hero - they would still bond with the Slashers.

    Should the Dog Rider have the Scale power as well? I think so.

    I am completely good with making them common heroes. I am also not completely sold on the name. Maybe Goblin Adventurer? I don't know why scale isn't listed. OP updated.

    I kind of like Goblin Dog Rider as the name. I have grown accustomed to it and it has that generic feel for a common hero.

    After numerous play tests, I vote we move the Dog Rider from brainstorming to play testing.

    I think he is pretty good right now. I'll start working on the card soon.

    Can we change the title to include a 'W3' at the beginning so that it is quickly identified?

    Dogrider card is below . . . comments and suggestions are appreciated. This card reflects the wording in the OP from June 21. And that should rap up the first attempts at cards for Wave 3.

    The last 3 cards look really good!

    Do you think we should specify that Secluded Prey works for "any" Goblin you control (implying this Goblin Dog Rider)?

    Card looks awesome and error free. Nice job Damon.


    Do you think we should specify that Secluded Prey works for "any" Goblin you control (implying this Goblin Dog Rider)?

    If we really wanted to make it clear we could go with

    When a Goblin Dog Rider attacks, or any Goblin you control attacks a figure adjacent to at least one Goblin Dog Rider you control, if the defending figure is not adjacent to a friendly figure the attacking Goblin receives an additional attack die.

    Although I think the original wording works although we should probably faq it.

    Did we decide on 40 points? I could see dropping to 30-35. These guys are good but I am not sure about 40 points.

    In the few tests I did with these guys I thought 40 might have been a bit low but was appropriate. Without some further testing I would hesitate to lower their costs. Maybe in the next week or so we can playtest all our uncertainties to get them final. I will try.

    I had fun with the Goblin army in our play test, particularly with the dog rider. Here our a few suggestions per our discussion and my thoughts. Let us know what you think . . . changes from the OP are in red.

    Figure: Pathfinder, We be Goblins #005, Goblin Commando on Goblin Dog.

    Planet: Eberron
    General: Utgar

    Species: Goblin
    Common Hero
    Class: Rogue
    Personality: Adventurous
    Medium 4

    Life: 1
    Move: 7
    Range: 1
    Attack: 2
    Defense: 4
    40 Points


    SECLUDED PREY
    When a Goblin you control attacks a figure adjacent to at least one Goblin Dog Rider you control, if the defending figure is not adjacent to a friendly figure, the attacking Goblin receives an additional attack die.

    MOUNT
    If a Goblin Dog Rider you control receives enough wounds to be destroyed, you may immediately, if possible, replace that Goblin Dog Rider with one of your previously destroyed small Goblin Squad figures.

    SCALE
    When moving up or down levels of terrain, a Goblin Adventurer may add 2 to his height.

    Here is an updated card with the changes in fogging and the background.

    Should this be:

    MOUNT
    If a Goblin Dog Rider you control receives enough wounds to be destroyed, you may replace that Goblin Dog Rider with one of your previously destroyed small Goblin Squad figures, if possible.


    I am seeing debate comparing the timing of "immediately" versus "if possible" on the Ebon Armor thread.

    Q: If a Unique Human figure is destroyed by Pounce, or by a Zombie, or by Nicholas Esenwein, can that figure be replaced by an Ebon Armor before the attacker places a figure there?
    A: No. Those powers replace the defending figure "immediately," and have priority over placing Ebon Armor, which are only placed "if possible".
