All good points, I thought of several of those ideas and they're in the works.

argh....post didnt go through...

some thoughts & suggestions:

- i like the packs/items, esp shield & enhanced problem solving for objectives :)

- REALLY high stat values at top health level - higher than Asteros...increase com/stam by 1 w/ CP and you're looking at everything except 1s count...yikes. Maybe something inherent in Cap'n that reduces this

- Doesnt make sense to me either that epic heroes' weapons can't be picked up by anyone...but 'can't be used by anyone except epic heroes' makes sense to me.

- Union's mental values that show them getting more focused as they get wounded: I like, esp for epic, hard to kill character

so i'm wondering if the following would work :

Health (top - bottom)

7/7/5/8

6/6/5/7

6/6/6/7

5/5/6/6

5/5/7/6

Vibranium Shield - Epic, Weapon, Hand-to-Hand, Armor. [same rules, plus:]. When equipped, Captain America receives a +1 bonus to his Combat and Stamina characteristic values.

EPIC trait - anyone may pick up, but only Epic heroes may use these items and their abilities. (can turn token over to indicate when non-epic hero picks up). Items with this trait may not be destroyed.

the Red Skull guy - going to be working on him, or is he too similar to Heizinger?

Great feedback AM, I like your stat grid.

As for the Skull, he wouldn't be too much like Heizinger, because he's a "Super Soldier" too, and high combat/stamina values would be a big difference between the two. Also Heizinger's reasearch is foucsed on Egypt and the anchient world, where Smicht's is more Norse/Tutonic. So I think there's room for both, but the Skull will stay on the back burner till after the Captain and the Howlers are done.

"And Heizinger searches for trinkets in the desert." -The Red Skull

The Captain with new stats and special rules, updated tokes to come later.

And Cake...

Comments welcome.

good idea on the character sheet back! might actually consider making the stuff for this guy for the first time - that means i dont have to worry about color matching the backs when setting up sides ;).

I know there's timeline issues and don't know about Captain's fluff in ref to his sidearm(s), but that new Colt token you made recently for MacNeal would be much cooler than the SI version (might have to tone it down a bit for him - seemed like it was firing explosive rounds to me :P - compared to other weapons in TH - i personally think there's no way a pistol can ever be as powerful(ie deadly, relatively high chance for 4+ successes on a roll) as the almighty Flash Machine Gun A6A

edit, just re-read it, i think for Captain, natural 10s = 2 succ. sounds reasonably-powered on the mean roll...

Updated Howling Commandos

you know it wouldn't be too hard to use the miniature photos and convert to the TH line-art style w/ photoshop, then drop them onto some background

That's what I'm going to try next, but it will be a little while.

Final version of the Captain, he's been tested a bit, and he's pretty comparable to the other Epics.

I'm going to shelve the Howlers for a while to work on my Sword and Sorcery Mod.
