RE: Custom character help
Dependant on what kind of character this is, you could consider limiting them to ONLY searching adjacent to buildings?
Maybe they're not welcome inside buildings usually, so they have learned that anything useful can be found outside of buildings. |

RE: Custom character help
No don't print that one, it's a low res one and there's no portrait! I can find photos to match your desriptions if you don't have pictures to use. "Quote."
Ok, also don't worry i intend to do our own pictures, we are actually going to use our own photos for our characters. As for N/A... all that means is my friend is thinking about it and will get back to me on the rest of his character sheet, so it's a work in progress. Ya I agree the wording is a little off, we can fix that. As for backyard scrounged you can't search in the manor. Ooo wait I got it, what if it's a search in outside adjacent spaces to a building on a roll +3? |

The wording on the Shootist ability could be better as it's unclear what the +1 is for. How About: Shootist: Add +1 to the range with any Gun Item. or Shootist: Add +1 To Hit with any Gun Item (09-15-2017 09:36 PM)Otacon29 Wrote: (Yes BDY, I agree. Changing the wording to better fit with Sheriff Anderson's ability, does make it easier to understand. Yes, you may change it.) Alexander is well balanced. I like the character. Just capitalize things like Search, Searching, Fire Station. Twiggy: Background Scrounger: is OP in my opinion. I like the idea but needs to be toned down. How about: Backyard Scrounger: May Search when adjacent to any building on a roll of 5+ in the Movement phase. Fanny Pack: This made me smile. In the UK fanny means, well, a woman's private area... Maybe change it to Backpacker or Heavy Lifter or Mule |

RE: Custom character help
Yes, change Shootist to 'Add +1 To Hit with any Gun Item.'
Change 'fanny pack' to 'belt pouch' And 'backyard scrounged' to a +4. Lastly capitalize all the proper searches and discards, clean it up and get back to me with any questions. Don't worry about the wait. I'll have 2 more for you soon. |

RE: Custom character help
Also, does anyone do 'Hero's cards or 'unique item' cards?

RE: Custom character help
Hi Otacon,
I just spotted something with Alexander. I would add something to this rule: Reclaim: When Searching, may take a random card from the discard pile. (Minimum of 10 cards.) Otherwise, there could be a really powerful card in a 2 card discard pile that a player could exploit. Esper: Gotta have his Start Location as the Road Into Town. That just seems cooler (to me.) I would lose the swearing from Cyrus, it's unnecessary. I'm sure plenty of parents play this game with children. How about Finders, Keepers Loser/lowlife/fool! etc. Your group, your call. Bethany's a pretty interesting Character. Students always have (Wound) (Dead) stats. Her ability doesn't really make thematic sense to me. How about something related to her profession such as: Erudite: When Searching Bethany make Draw two Hero cards and pick one. Place the remaining Hero card back on top of the Hero Deck. (In this respect she seems as if she makes good choices and predict potentialities due to her learning. This would make for some great tactical choices from the Heroes.) Just some ideas, trying to help. Feel free to use or ignore. At the end of the day, they're your Characters. Have fun |

RE: Custom character help
Thanks Trev for the additions,
Yes, I can see why to put a deck minimal on Alexander, I added it to my notes in the edit. The Road out of town is a cool suggestion, I will have to think about it, the Random building was because he is a bounty hunter constantly hunting his Prey. But I'm keeping the profanity, as sad as it sounds no one under 18 plays this game with me. As for Bethany, she is a country girl, I don't know if your American or rural, but it's part of her character. However the player needs to think of a second character ability she hasn't gotten back to me. |
