As you will notice, some changes have been made to the "Special Characters". Some have been neccesary to streamline with LRB 2.0 rules. For example the Human Champion has been changed from Blitzer to Catcher because of Skill Access, and the Orc Champion lost his Agility Trait in exchange for a Strength Trait for the same reason. Other changes that I have applied were because of balancing concerns. All of the latter changes are completely open to discussion. As a guideline, the character of the original "Starplayer" should still apply to each "Champion" even after welcome balance tweaks.

The Champions have not suffered any ageing effects -yet. They will most likely do so in the future however! In terms of game mechanics they were lucky with their ageing rolls.

You will also notice that only 9 of the original 25 "Special Characters" are included. This is because 13 are covered by Big Guy and Secret Weapon rules. The remaining 3 characters are "Mighty Zug", "Count Luthor" and "Thrud". My suggestion is to cover those 3 by Big Guy rules for Human, Undead and Norse Teams.

Have you tested this out in your local league. What do the other players think. Interesting wht feedback they'd give.

Toby, i'm sure you appreciate that the majority of this board hate star players as they just become ball hogs and, when the game becomes your Star Player against mine it takes the skill out of the game, and also the fun of developing your own players. i dont see anything here thats going to change that. I'm not going to goany further into my thoughts on Star Players as its been well documented in the past.

But it would be interesting to here thoughts from anyone from your league who is using these rules
