Is this intended for the Starship mini game? Since this big guy was big enough to swallow the Falcon, it would be kinda useless on a "regular" board; it would take up the whole board. If it's just a fun intellectual exercise, good job

@surf_rider56

hahaha, no kidding huh.

But on Wiki they mention the average adult was but about 10 meters long (for reference, that's about 5x Vader-height)

The one that swallowed the Flacon and the ones Adasca was messing with are just the giant mega-ones that were out there constantly growing for countless years

This one is designed to go with the D&D Purple Worm, which is on a huge base and it is attempting to represent a smaller or more-average Exogorth one could possibly come across

Ahhhh ... that explains it; didn't go to Wook, just used my memory of the movie version. In that case, good one!

I know he lacks some of the special abilities that are uber, but with those stats as a BASE, he needs a point adjustment of at least 14+ points.

Hey, thanks for the replies you two! Sorry I wasn't able to reply earlier; I was stuck out in the middle of no where without internet under 3feet of snow in S*hole Arizona...

@Darthbane53

Yeah, that's what I was thinking as well. But when using the calculator, I come up with just over 50 for the base stats, where Melee, Speed 4 and the Savage-like ability drop it back down to like 40. I probably didnt add enough for Swallow and Burrow when I calculated it though, so I will probably bump it up to like 48-49 to test it in small games and see if we think its still coming up too low. I do figure the Cost and Damage are the two things more likely to fluctuate in the near future depending on how it goes, lol







First, thanks a ton for the thoughts! Really helpful on these abilities which were much more difficult to word out then I normally see and anticipated. I usually try to stay away from completly new concepts because of this, but certain pieces like this and the A.Keto I did, demand it.

Yeah, non-melee should have been there, so got that corrected.

On Burrow, I was actually trying to get the character under-ground when burrowed. Where the mini would still be able to move and pop-up other locations on the board, but be out of reach from attacking (without first resurfacing) and melee attacks on it. Basically, it would be a giant hole moving around the board if he was burrowed. And while that isnt ideal, it wouldnt be able to be attacked at all until coming back to the surface if it was removed from the board. I think I did rely too heavily on the assumption people would treat the proper definition of Burrow as the game definition though too. What do you think, this sound better?

Burrow (On this characters turn, it may burrow itself under the game-board, or resurface, instead of moving. A Burrowed character may move as normal, but must resurface to make further attacks. Burrowing does not provoke attacks of opportunity, and burrowed characters can only be attacked by non-melee attacks from an adjacent enemy.)

and here is the piece itself:


When reading that while being able to see the mini itself, does it become a bit clearer? Or you think it still needs refining?


Then, yeah, cant believe I missed that :/ So on Swallow, how about this

Swallow (On an attack roll of 16 or greater, targeted enemy is considered swallowed and is immediately removed from gameplay. At the start of each round, any swallowed characters receive 10 damage. Swallowed characters may activate as normal to attempt a save, returning to the board adjacent to this character on a roll of 16 or greater)

That sound better?
