Making CoC characters (decks)

Well, after seeing some one ask @Maniafig to do this:

Spoiler: Saving Space

I thought that I might as well make a thread. This isn't more of a deckbuilding thread or suggestion, but kinda like the smithy: I wish this existed, yadayada, etc.



HELPFUL HINTS, COURTESY OF @Gingrich Yurr!
1.) All deck sizes are 36
2.) Monster only/unavailable cards are allowed

 

Captain Cedric
Human Warrior
Vengeance
Skilful Strike
Feinting Strike
Nimble Strike
Ready To Strike
Vanguard
Retreat
Advanced Battlefield Training
Delegate
Leadership
Jump, Soldier!
Team Walk
Flanking Move
Positioning Move
Defender's Block
Wounded Block
Reliable Mail
Officer's Harness

2x of every card here. Based entirely on flavour, don't think it's balanced.

 

Nice thread idea! I'm curious what sort of figures and decks people would construct.

I'll start with a Dwarf Warrior, there's some neat Warrior concepts not used in CoC yet and there's only two Dwarriors so far.


1x Attack Skill
1x Parrying Strike
3x Skillful Strike
2x Sundering Strike
2x Nimble Strike
1x Backbiting Strike
2x Ready To Strike
4x Strong Chop
2x Staggering Chop
2x Weak Chop
1x Battleaxe Chop
2x Battleaxe Block
2x Parry
1x Duck
1x Enchanted Harness
1x Enchanted Mail
1x Shimmering Aura
2x Cautious Sneak
2x Quick Step
2x Slicer
1x Immovable

The idea I wanted to convey was that the warrior fights skillfully with sword and axe, hence the use of lots of strikes and chops as well as using Battleaxe Block/Parry/Duck rather than shield blocks. I wanted to convey a sort of skillful, measured warrior so I avoided in-your-face big splashy damage cards, charges or frenzy-like cards and used more tactical cards such as Ready to Strike, Skillful Strike and Cautious Sneak instead.

 

Spoiler: LOL

How'd you get the picture of each character?
Also, Enchanted Armor is not a card. It's Enchanted Mail.

 

Nice thread idea. Maybe sometime later I'll peruse through all of the CoC decks already out there so that I can both get a sense of what the parameters are and what gaps there are.

Here's a link to the decklists of the characters from caverns of chaos currently:

I got mine from the wiki.


Hu La Houp, Legendary Human Battledancer

8x Berserk Spin
2x Obliterating Chop
2x Dancing Cut
2x Vicious Thrust
4x Violent Spin
2x Dynamic Armor
2x Disorienting Block
2x Acrobatic Flip
2x Uncanny Dodge
2x Spin Around
2x Smashing Spin
4x Wind Dancer
2x Battle Rage

Based on AA winning item Hu La Houp's Vicious Circle by @Lucky Dice. Too bad there's no hula hooping figure.

 

You can get them all* on a single page here, or here if you want color variants too.

* Missing the AI skins because they have non-standard filenames.

 

Thanks, @Kalin. Anyways, keep up the great work!
Some minor questions:
Are all decks 43 cards for CoC characters?
Are monster only cards allowed in CoC decks?

 

4x Laser Strike
3x Laser Thrust
2x Laser Whip
3x Fiery Stab
2x Laser Cutdown
2x Devastating Blow
2x Rocket Dash
1x Rocket Charge
1x Prowl
2x Mimetic Crown
2x Crafted Mail
1x Laser Block
1x Defender's Block
2x Battlefield Training
2x Team Walk
1x Team Shift
2x Forward Thinking
3x Vanguard

 

36 cards for everyone, not 43. Monster only cards are allowed.

 

St. Yatzie, Legendary Human Gambler

4x Radiation Bomb
2x Radioactive Spray
2x Destructive Purge
3x Roulette
3x Push The Button
3x Pull The Trigger
2x Bad Luck
4x Genetic Engineering
2x Force Field
3x Laser Block
3x Telepod Jaunt
2x Rocket Dash
1x Panic
2x Unlucky

If there is no risk, there is no reward. Based on St. Yatzie's Genetic Console.

 

Yes!! Love the Roulette in there. I would switch out the rad. sprays for Blights so that she has at least a few traits besides unlucky.

 

Hundred-Hallowed Bones (alternatively Sequentially Sanctified Skeleton) - sadly the large portrait doesn't exist yet; also, it'd be standard-sized, not large.
Most likely is not balanced, it's just for fun.

2x Savage Curse
1x Cleansing Ray
3x Mass Frenzy
3x Unholy Energy
2x Martyr Blessing
2x Inspiring Presence
2x Soothing Darkness
2x Greater Heal
2x Bless
2x Cause Fumble
3x Sapping Spear
5x Spear Of Darkness
2x Raging Strike
3x Massive Chop
2x Only Bones

Spoiler

Based on the following items:
Skull Of Savage Iljin
Bleneth's Skull
Glasod's Dark Skull
Kristoph's Skull
Mokad's Reeking Skull
St. Ulrich's Bones
Fingerbone Of St. Ob
Glasod's Dark Thighbone
Giant Skeletal Arm
Quite possibly a few more.

 

Warning: Deck size is 38 which is 2 more then it is supposed to be.

 

@timeracers Thanks about that, I just realized I meant to replace Solid Mail with Crafted Mail, not add it.
Thank you, sir.

Psst. Don't be so patronizing towards others. This is what you get for using a public forum.

 

@Frostguard I love the idea of basing the character off of all the bones and skulls. Well done!
I only wonder if something could be switched out for some traits... Negative traits maybe...fumble instead of cause fumble?
Since we have no design guide (hint, hint, @timeracers ) we're just making up whatever suits us and that's fine, but I wonder if the devs had some method to their madness in the coc characters.

 

The caverns of chaos randomly uses MP like characters for your characters. All MP characters have 36 card decks and have a default move of walk, run, or dash. Speaking of design the characters should look strangely like normal MP characters which means about an average of about 4.5 value per card. (Halfway between bronze and silver or C and B)

 

That's helpful. As I was looking at the CoC characters I thought they looked rather like level 18 characters (MP characters) myself. I appreciate the average card level calculation. Now we just need @Vakaz to add a page to his item creator that allows us to calculate the value of a 36 card deck. =) Thanks, Vakaz, I love your item creator....maybe a little too much.

 

From what I noticed, the characters of Caverns of Chaos look strangely like multiplayer characters because they are, in most part, multiplayer characters. Their decks are slightly altered, in many cases, but I think they're still easily recognisable.

The dwarf warrior with the default skin, for example? He's the standard dwarf warrior from the Adventurers premade party. Everyone's favourite elven vampire priest is the elf priest from Vein Drinkers; the same premade party's human priest is the skeletal priest in Caverns of Chaos, while its human warrior's cards largely correspond to those of the female human warrior in the samurai-like armour (the stabby one). The Aztec elf warrior (with a thousand Thick Hide Armours) is the warrior from Tezkal Elves, while the elven fire wizard is from the same party, and of course the priest makes an appearance as well, in the appropriately stylish Aztec skin. The Stormbringers give us the Japanese-looking acid wizard, the dwarven slime priest and the human slime warrior, respectively, again with minor changes.

I could go on. There are changes, of course - most characters got a Sundering Strike or two, the elf vampire has a Cushioning Armour and a Bless, which makes it likely that he switched his Glowing Hide Armour for the definitely more snazzy Stargod's Raiments, and a few of them got monster-only cards, or others that don't appear in premade decks.
