Hehehe.

I have a question. Can mediks heal kittens and spiders and razgrizzly bunnies and things like that? And why isn't there a medic stat card?

Mediks can heal whatever they want, as long it was alive at one point in time. Nobody has made a stat card for mediks because there are no rules that are collectively agreed on, unlike the Sniper. Somebody (I) will probably make a good Medik stat card in the future.

I suppose your right, but your sick, every idea you manage to twist it to gain more destruction. Most people though will use mediks to survive and win the game, not for the purpose of making you minifgs get destroyed again. I suppose its the way you interpret things that makes you a better brikwarrior or a brikwussy

and that's why he is the one to have created brikwars.
besides even if you think your reason is "winning" and "survival", subconsciously you just want them to die again.

When we play. We are friendly to each other (as far as you can be friendly in a war) and agree not to kill eachothers medics on purpose.

Offcourse medics still get killed by randomly thrown grenades, falling trees, flying whales and the like, but at least not on purpose.

At our club we are ruthless, everyone is there to kill and/or die, no mediks, and we even give minfigs weapon choices that usually results in everything (including terrain) blowing up into smitherines

but of course in a good sportmanship manner.

I once even had one of my hero's die 4 or 5 times in a row, just cause it was so darn fun

My eventual plan is just to re-use the Medik from 2001, unless I hear a better idea in the meantime.

Here's my suggestion:

If medix are being fielded, then:
Disassemble dead minifigs into a number of parts equal to the damage over their AV. (e.g. 1 over is a minifig laying down, 9 over is all parts of minifig separated, 10 over is REALLY REALLY DEAD)

Then a medik must be able to reach all the parts, and rolls d6 Medikal Skill. The number on the die is the number of parts reassembled.

This is in keeping with the building block concept behind the PBB's, tracking is built in, severity of damage is built in, and it means that enemies and explosions can scatter body parts. It also allows for handicapped minifigs to take partial actions: Leg amputees can still shoot or swing a sword, Head amputees can run, jump, and fall, but cannot target anything (stuble chart or scatter die).

why do anything that complicated?

why not just give a medik a single Heroic Feat per turn, that can only be used to bring back to life dead minifigs from allied/friendly forces? a critically failed roll means the minifig is dead for good.

and the other special rule being that regardless of what weapon they are holding, they can only fight using it as a random object. (i'd suggest only barehands, but that would make them completely unable to defend themselves..instead of just really bad at it.)

MEDIK (6cp)
Skill: 1d6
Move: 5"
Armour: 1d6-1

some minifigs are utter cowards, unable to battle as a proper minifig should. instead, these minifigs turn to the path of healing, so they can laugh maniacly while forcing others to die over and over.

Only Mostly Dead: once per turn the medik may use a Heroic feat to bring back to life a dead minifig from any allied force. on a critical Failure the dead minifig becomes all dead and cannot be brought back at all.

Not in the Face!: because they such cowards, all weapons carried by the medik only count as random objects in combat. a medik may never be used as a redshirt by a Hero.

Now we need a pic. Anyone good at artwork?

It's almost as if we worked on something like this months ago (scroll to the bottom of the page and read the next four)!

To summarize, I think what we ended up deciding on was that Mediks moved 6", and had 1d6 skill. We then ended up with the reviving (we decided on Medikal Feats as for how it works) and "I've got to do SOMETHING!" (If a medik is within 1d6" (capped at 6") of a body they MUST attempt to revive it, friend or foe alike). I want to say we just left em at 1d6 skill but...

So which one should we do? Does it matter?

Hang on... Ok. Poll.

I wasn't talking about any specific card, I was just pointing you at the non-dimmy discussions. Of all of those cards, we never actually finished up deciding on what to do for a medik.
