My son (now 13) has been my primary opponent since he was a kid. I'm not ashamed (well, just a little) to admit that he regularly cleans the floor with me. Our primary games are Frostgrave and Deadzone.
He also has a vivid imagination, and it constantly coming up with really wild ideas for campaign settings, monsters, magic items and so forth. His latest kick is more powerful fighters who can gain experience and feats, almost like D&D characters. For example, he spent an hour last night telling me about The Hunter, who can attack a second time if he wounds his opponent on his first attack, gets a trick shot that ignores terrain, and can set explosive traps. He wants to plug said fighters into Frostgrave, but I'm not sure that wouldn't break the game, or at least warp it into unrecognizability.
So I put it to you, dear reader. I need a skirmish-level game or games that center on customizable, upgradable characters for a (slightly-bloodthirsty) middle schooler. Ideas?
