TTB Bestiary vs M2E

[zeeblee]

When comparing the stats and abilities of Through the Breach antagonists to their Malifaux 2nd Edition counterparts, which set of stats do you prefer to stick with?  As an example, the Desolation in M2E has Hard to Wound, but the TTB version does not.

I generally stick with the TtB versions for Through the Breach or make my own. The second edition versions don't have skills for one.

 

I do not think that one version of the stats needs to be 'canon' though, they are two different stat lines for two different games. If a third game arose (A video game for example) I imagine the Desolation Engine would have yet a third statline, based again on the idea of a tough steampunk monstrosity made up of parts from various bodies and machines.

I typically use FM Almanac for "social" FMCs (characters that have names) and M2E for combat fodder.

 

YMMV, but I find that my FMCs aren't making non-magic skill checks in combat- and they already have an AV for that in the form of Ca

MisterGone pretty much hit my opinion. For combat the M2e stat cards really facilitate an "in and out" style which TtB favors in order to get back to the story.
