Default Re: My new mod: Is it balanced?

I mostly agree with the others' comments. MR should be 18 unless there is a thematic reason it should be lower than all other pretenders. Prot 25 is rather high - the 100 HP will make him plenty tough, so as Pickles said, I'd lower prot to more like 10, no higher than 15, and removing the body slot is probably appropriate, but perhaps not necessary. I would tend to compare to Red Dragon and Cyclops, looking at the dragon breath attack, hitpoints, protection, attack skill, precision, slots, and point cost.

In general it looks pretty good, though, IMO.

I appreciate all the helpful comments!

I was wondering if the magma ball was a bit underpowered -- during playtesting it seemed like he tossed it all over the place, but it didn't seem to do much. I think I'll have to tweak that a little.

My thinking behind Prot being 25 while MR being only 15 was that he would be VERY difficult to hurt physically, but more vulnerable than most to magic spells to balance it out -- but I'm thinking now that the difference might be a little too stark. I think that I'll take your advice and lower that Prot while boosting the MR, taking a second look at some of the other pretenders' stats.

Again, I appreciate the feedback! I'm going to try and get these tweaks done and the graphics redone by the end of the week.
