Mercenaries

Postby Gold Bearer » September 12th, 2014, 4:51 pm

BATTLE MAGICIANS

These are designed as mercenaries but they can be used as regular heroes as well by just giving them 5BP. If you want them to have random movement then 6 = the highest of two dice, 8 = two dice and 10 = the highest two of three dice. I don't know how much information, if any, to put at the bottom of the cards. Type (battle wizard/battle sorcerer/battle mage), race, spells, equipment, equipmemt restrictions and levelling up rules would be much too cluttered. I'm not sure how much they should cost to hire, I'm thinking maybe 500 or 600.

Battle Magicians have an extra defence defence dice due to their magic aura (which is included in their stats) and can use the same eqipment as the Wizard except that they can use Pole-Arms and one handed blades (axes don't count). Battle Wizards can't throw. Daggers can attack diagonally and quarterstaffs can attack diagonally and two straight squares away if the square between is empty.

The females look more like Escorts.

For random movement, I'd suggest some slightly different rolls.

  • Move 6: roll 3 dice, discard highest
  • Move 8: roll 3 dice, discard lowest
  • Move 10: roll 4 dice, discard 2 lowest

Well that's a type of mercenary. That's nothing this is my old seer before I stumbled on a decent replacement while I was looking for something else.

She's still wearing a lot more than the barbarian! It's funny how the best looking one is the one showing the least flesh (alchemist) and the second best is the one showing the second least flesh (shaman). Score for subtlety. I don't care if they look like escorts as long as they look like what they're supposed to be, and I think they do. Ignoring the sex appeal they're good pictures in their own right.

  • Move 8: roll 3 dice, discard lowest
  • Move 10: roll 4 dice, discard 2 lowest
I think it would be easier to stick with the old way because it means rolling less dice and it fits in better with the full set of random movement conversions. M1 = lowest of three dice, M2 = lowest of two dice, M4 = one dice, M6 = highest of two dice, M8 = two dice, M10 = highest two of three dice, M12 = three dice.

:) They're not allowed to wear armour, but if they were I'm sure they wouldn't be wearing much of it.
