Peebo

[Darkorinth]

One of the mods that I am working, but am having a hard time with are the Peebo from Gold Digger. For those of you who don't know what they are, they are not a pokemon or similar silly creature. They are intelligent self-propelled handgranades. I had a hard time figuring out how to make stats for a character who is a handgranade. The solution I came up with makes for an intersting character. The stats for the rookie are as fallows:

Cost: 17
Flying
no team
Move:
8
running shot
Attack:
13
EE
Defense:
15
no powers
Damage:
0
no powers
Range:
1
3 arrows

The solution I came up with was to make him flying so he could make a ranged attack base to base, this may not be strictly true to the comic, but it is the best I could do. Besides the Peebo's carry things in the comics all the time, frequently things a LOT larger than themselves. Then I made his damage 0 with EE and a 1 range so that for him to attack and need anything other than a 12 to do damage he has to include himself in the splash damage. I gave him a 13 attack since they are VERY accurate (I have never seen them miss in the comic) and a 15 attack so he is guarnteed to hit himself unless he rolls a 2 at which point he takes damage anyway. And I gave him one click of health since once they blow up, their gone.

The only problem I have now is how to make the fig, since Peebo's are only a few inches across in the comic, roughly the size of a handgranade. Tell me what you think and any suggestions on how to mod him would be appreciated.

...wha?

Interesting idea. One point on the EE bit though. EE is an optional power, so you don't *have* to use it and hurt yourself. So you might want a rule that it has to. Also, with Perplex you could raise the range a lot, but then a peebo with some support from someone could do more.

As for representing one, I don't know. You'd have to make it bigger than in the comics to have any amount of detail. The scale on heroclix is just too small.

I reiterate: ...wha?

For Mr. Pilkington, your right perplex would cause and problem, also if you think about it stand on top of a building and fire at someone on the ground would also work. However I was trying to do the best I could with out making up new powers or rules. But I do appreciate the comment. As for what I am hoping to do for the fig, I am planning on going to a local KB toys or some similar place to see if they have anything I can use. Fortunately even in the series there wasn't a huge amount of detail, but it will probably be out of proportion.

For Melkoloran, the Peebo are small machines created by one of the characters in the Gold Digger series as weapons. However I figured that people who hadn't read the series might look and the name and figure they were from some series like Pokemon or Yu-Gi-Oh. But as I said before they are machines created by one of the characters as weapons. In large groups they are VERY effective.

thanks for the replies.

Ahh, now I see. I've never heard of the Gold Digger series, thus my confusion.
