Bioni-Dice

[EXO-CHAMP]

Hello all.

I'm looking for all kinds of information on the Toa Inika & the Piraka.

I've checked out a lot of threads here on EB, on-line games, character descriptions etc on the official Bionicle site (and S@H).

Why do I need this information?: I'm currently designing a strategic wargame called Bioni-Dice.(some of you may know of my Exo-Dice game for Exo-Force). I would like to get accurate facts on weapons (range, ammo,special), armour, special attacks, special abilities, etc.

In addition I would like your in-put on the prowess of the Inika & Piraka (actually also the Matoran and Titans).

Please rate them according to these parameters(borrowed from Piraka Attack):

Strength

Agility

Speed

Intelligence

Rate them from 1 to 10 (1 being the lowest and 10 being god like)

[Kahgarak]

All Toa Inika have Lightning fused with their powers.For instance,Hahli would create an electrifying flood.

All Piraka have eye-beams with powers.

A great site for Bioniclish information is the BS01 Wiki.

[EXO-CHAMP]

Great stuff. Thanks guys.

But BS01 is down and no one knows when it will be on-line again. I'll check later.

A small sample of how the stat-cards for Bioni-Dice will look like:

[Zarkan]

A question, Exo champ. Most people who know a bit about Bionicle also know that mask powers and other powers play a big part in the story. Since most masks are not direct attackers, will you be making a way for them to instead penalize or boost players stats temporaraily? What I mean is, a system kind of like this:

Example: Axxon, Mask of Truth:

(3, 1+ Defense, 2 UP)

First catergory: Number of dice to roll. An opponent will roll 2 dice as well. If the opponent wins, the power usage fails.

Second catergory: If the player using the power wins, the effect is what is listed here, and will remain like that until the player's next turn.

Third catergory: number of usage points required. (like heat points in Exo-dice)

A penalty or boost would be repersented by different colored bricks or other things:

Green: + movement

light grey: - movement

blue: + attack

black: - attack

yellow: + defense

dark grey: - defense

red: + damage

Brown: - damage

Did you have anything in mind at least a bit like that, or are there only going to be dirrect, damaging attacks? Thanks. ;-)

[EXO-CHAMP]

You are most perceptive.

These are the very ideas I'm working on.

Actually I'm reading a lot of Bionicle "history", cartoons, etc. to get a feel of the universe first. Great stuff I might add.

The usage system is actually spot on. Different powers will have different values. (I was actually thinking of changing the Heat system in E-D to a uasage system - it makes more sense - you're machine can only have so much power out-put).

[Zarkan]

That's great! I'm glad you're adding those things in, and I'm also glad you're doing a lot of research on it before you make a lot of the stat cards and stuff. It's great to see another lego fan getting into the Bionicle storyline line! ;-)

Also, I heard you say that you won't be making stat cards for a lot of the older kits. I'm pretty familiar with the Bionicle story, powers, names, etc, and if you want, I could help make stat cards for those older characters once you get the basic rules and 2006 cards up. I'd be happy to help make Bioni-dice more complete in that sense. ;-)

[EXO-CHAMP]

In time I may add the older versions and your help would be very appreciated.

Right now I'll concentrate on the models I actually can get hold of and use for testing.

[Zarkan]

I decided to see how good I am at making the cards for your games (once you need my help), so I made a card for Umbra. You don't have to use it, of course, but I like how it came out. ;-)

[EXO-CHAMP]

It looks great.

Right now I'm putting all my effort into completing Exo-Dice. When I'm satsfied I'll call on you for advice.

And I'll start a topic for Bioni-Dice in the Wargames forum.

My Bionicle collection is growing slowly, so I should be able to "field-test" the system.

The 07 Bionicle line looks very promising too..

[Zarkan]

Thanks. And really, I'm glad you are focusing all your effort on one thing right now, and not juggling two or more games at the same time. When Exo-dice is mostly complete, I'll be glad to help you on Bionidice. ;-)

Oh, and I totally agree on 2007. It, for the most part, rocks!
