xaq_the_aereonWhile it's a bit gargantuan (about 4 pages), the character creation sheet for Blade Clash appears to be rather well balanced, allowing for enough variety of character stats/abilities to keep things interesting...
Right up until I brought Minions into play, anyway. Finding a way to make them cost-prohibitive enough that the character is in a bad spot without them, yet powerful enough that they're a significant threat with them (which is the whole idea with them) is proving tricky...my first set-up failed miserably, leaving my test dummy, on his own, about as powerful as its Minion-less opponent..and with a cluster of Minions that made him outright devastating. "Lopsided" barely covers it.
For now I think I've got a pretty fair mix...whether I decide to include the character template for folks to make their own characters or not, right now I think it's good enough for me to use for pre-designed characters in order to keep them balanced.
One thing I'll say about all this, though...it's kept me from making any YouTube videos for a while. I dunno if I should see this as a problem or not....hm. *shrug* Oh well, whatever keeps my free time occupied. :b
