What a Card: Regnor

Being a look back at cards from the Star Trek CCG, and what I thought of them back when they were fresh and new... in EPISODE order. We're still in the final battle between Kirk and Kruge while Genesis falls apart around them, but on the bird-of-prey...

EXPANSION: The Motion Pictures

PICTURE: That blue background contrasts nicely with the Klingon template, creating a unique look. Perhaps because of the pacifying influence of that blue, Regnor looks more compassionate and doctorly. A simple, but effective 3.5.

LORE: Is "like most" supposed to be an indication of universality? It doesn't QUITE read that way. Other than that, it's fine lore, telling us about the Klingons in general more than Regnor here. A 3.2.

TREK SENSE: Meant to represent the typical medic (Medical) on a Klingon bird-of-prey, but the skills don't really fit the idea. The lore makes it sound like he should have Security, for example. Biology would also be a better fit for a medic who has to dress wounds on his own people, than Exobiology here. When we see Exo with Anthropology, it usually means the character is well informed about at least one alien species, sometimes from having lived among its members. There's no indication of that here, not in the more xenophobic movie era. Attributes are fine, all around, fitting his classification and lore. But the skills are ill-chosen (or at least, ill-explained), so he just gets a 2.5 here.

STOCKABILITY:
As a support personnel, the proper Assign card can fit Regnor into non-CF decks, though obviously, he patches skill holes in that group more readily. The Klingons certainly don't mind another MEDICAL, and both his skills are useful against dilemmas. Solid attributes too. Since he CAN be Assigned, he might as well help in the Delta Quadrant with Hunt Alien and Study Interstellar Colony, because his skill set isn't as well tuned in to Alpha Quadrant missions. Solid enough for a 3.4.

TOTAL: 12.6 (63%) Nothing flashy about support personnel.
