Leopard Guards and Jaguars Options

[joe13]

Can anyone tell me where to find stats for Leopard Guards and Jaguars in 4th edition? We used them once in 2nd, and I no longer have the book and I am no longer able to recall their stats. If anyone knows if the info is on any sites, even if it is from previous editions that would be helpful as well. Thanks.

Away from books atm, but I believe they had stats for one of them in the second Dawn of the Artifacts book.

Thank you.

Yeah, DotA: Midnight, p. 44-45, has some Jaguar Guards.

Thanks, and are the Leopards in some book or supplement, or should I just base them off of something like the Red Samurai?

The old Aztlan book (around page 80) has the go-to fluff for them, and (previous edition) stats in the back. I'm trying to remember if I've seen stats for 'em anywhere, and kind of drawing a blank. In a lot ways they're basically "Jaguar Guard -1." They have a few key skills a little lower, they have about half as much chrome (only had Smartlink and Wired Reflexes 1), etc, etc. Leopard Guards are basically a stepping stone from "normal grunt" towards "absolute cutting-edge warrior elite." Somewhere between your work-a-day soldier and your top-tier Red Samurai, Jaguar Guard, etc, etc.

Alright, thanks.

Convert using the SR3 to SR4 Conversion Guide (which may not convert exactly, if I'm remembering correctly).

I also just checked, and updated stats weren't posted in SoLA.

Happy hunting!

Shadows of Latin America (see the link in my signature, pages 58 and 59) has more information on the differences between AZT/Aztlan's different warrior orders. No stat blocks, but there is some info in the Game Information section about special techniques the Aztlan warrior orders use.

[joe13]

Thanks, I will check it out.
