Custom Skirmish Deployment Card first try (Rancor)

By yobtar, in Star Wars: Imperial Assault

Here is a custom Rancor Deployment card to use in the Skirmish mode, that uses the Old WotC model. Note: it has not been fully play tested just thought it was fun any suggestion comment.

I would substitute pierce 4 with reach and (push +2damage) instead of (+3 damage)

Yeah, he definitely needs Reach.

Shouldn't it be 2 red and another die. Since there is a 2 of any color cap at the moment? (Most people only have 1 set of dice)

I agree with the 2 red limit - 2 red 1 yellow? Should be tougher to hurt - maybe give him +1 block - remember some characters can remove 1 dice from defence. He needs the massive rule as well.

Not a bad start :)

Here is an Updated Card for my Custom Rancor. What do you guys think.

What exactly is meant by "replace your attack"?

How many squares....?

I want it to be that that attack is the only surges you can use. How do you think it could b eworded

I like "Feed" a lot but needs tightening. Maybe:

[special action icon]: Make an attack. For this attack remove all abilities above that cost [surge icon] but gain:

[2 surge icons]: +2 [damage icon] and recover 2 [damage icon] if this attack defeats the target figure.

But you could not use it in a campaign!

So you still roll the same dice? Personally I'd probably take away one of the red, to represent the increased difficulty of picking up the target rather than just slashing/bashing them. It probably also needs some kind of restriction against use on droids and vehicles (or does some EU source establish that Rancors can digest metal? Wouldn't surprise me. :P ).

Would this things base be 3x3? would that just be way to big to be functional?

It could be a 3 x 2 if it was facing sideways.

Not a fan of like 14 million surge spending abilities.

  • I say cut the feed surge ability and change it to: If an attack generates more than 3 damage 1 damage can be healed from the Rancor (similar to the Wookie ability).
  • Get rid of the surge for 3 damage and add a Stun
  • For defense either give it 2 black or a white.
