How would you stat up "Vanzilla" for Savage Worlds Showdown?

[Puuka]

I'm fairly new to this. I've been looking at Savage Worlds Showdown as my "rules of choice" They seem simple and quite frankly, "free" is a big factor.

How would other players stat this guy up for this game? He's an old Venom action figure (sort of modded for Heroclix above). The base he's on is 3 inches and the squares on the map are 1.5 so you have an idea of scale.





Thanks for the help

PS: It seems to be a repainted Web Splashers Series1 Black Sea Venom

You might get a better/faster response over at http://www.peginc.com/forum/ : the official Savage Worlds forum.

If you're playing Super Powered SW games, I would recommend getting Necessary Evil (Explorer's Edition is only 15 bucks, maybe less), and there's a Super Powered Companion out soon (which will be the same price).

Lots of good Super Hero/Villain info!

I have too many mini games forums I'm a part of. I'm not sure I can handle any more

Anything special you want him to be able to do? I think the stats for donga the giant ape would be a good starting point. I’ll write them or help you out if I have time. (doesnt take long)

Is there an online source for "official" stats from Pinnacle, or is it from paid for and copyrighted source books?

I think some sort of advantage for being in water, some sort of ranged incapacitation type attacks. Something that allows for a sort of Vampiric close combat attack.

Other than that, I think a "Giant Ape" base is good.

Ah, I think you might have the alpha rules or even older of showdown? It has recently be updated with a new edition. there is a acces file that has a lot of creatures in it, and two free scenario's.

There is another one.  I can't find it now.  I thought I posted it in another thread last month but I just said here's the link and forgot to paste it.  Now I can't find it.  There were Savage Worlds stats (not Showdown) for all kinds of things.  I'll keep looking.

Here it is.

It looks like there is a showdown section.

All of the stuff on savage heroes is for the older version of showdown, so it requires some work tough.

Maybe try savageheros.com or savagepedia?

I’ll write up how I did this:

First of I started with the stats for donga in the Rumble in the jungle adventure and in the troop builder file. He is a member of the Kong family so a good starting point for any big monster.

Donga (wild card)
Attributes: Agility d8, Smarts d8(A), Spirit d8, Strength d12+6, Vigor d8
Skills: Fighting d8, Intimidation d10,
Pace: 10; Parry: 6; Toughness: 12
Abilities: Fleet-Footed, Gargantuan, Hardy, large+2 Size +6, Sweep, guardian
Gear: Boulders (Range 6/12/24, Damage Str+d20, Heavy Weapon), tree (Str+d20, Reach 3)
Cost: 79

Now of that we can lose the club/tree, the boulders could also represent stuff like cars being thrown around.
I think the stats are OK, but a upping of the agility seems in place, and perhaps a slight reduction of the strength. (I see kong wining a rope pulling contest against Vanzilla, but vanny should be a bit more agile.
Fleet-footed improves the running dice to d8 so that works.
Gargantuan, now there is a dilemma, it turns his armor into heavy armor, which makes him totally immune to small weapons fire (ie, only weapons noted as heavy weapons can hurt him) its up to you if you want this. I would prefer not myself.
Hardy should stay, size+5 as he is less massive then kong, large and the +2 to hit with ranged attacks stays.

sweep is a must for big creatures.
Guardian is specific to that scenario so that can go.
Aquatic is a must, and waterspout (everybody in a burst make strength -2 test or be shaken) sounds like the perfect ranged attack for it, water coming from that fish head? So the boulders can go.

Reach 2 sounds about right,
There is no vampire touch, but I think giving it regeneration and poison -2 would work just as well.
Instead of the club claws that deal 1d10dmg?

So there we go.

vanzilla (wild card)
Attributes: Agility d10, Smarts d8(A), Spirit d8, Strength d12+5, Vigor d8
Skills: Fighting d8, intimidate d10
Pace: 10; Parry: 6; Toughness: 11
Abilities: aquatic, Fleet-Footed, Hardy, large+2 Size +5, Sweep, waterspout, reach 2, regeneration, poison -2 
Gear: Claw (strength+d10)
Cost: 69

That's great YPU!

I might steal it for my games, too

I might do godzilla some other time, I tend to have fun stating up all sort of things.

I’ll write up how I did this:

Thank you very much for doing this. You showing what you did should also help me kind of see what to do in the future as well.
