Over the Alps - StarofEarendil's Custom Cards

[StarofEarendil]

A few of the custom figures I've been working on (more to come).

I modeled him off of Kato Katsuro, but, being in command of the Carthaginian mercenaries, I had to extend his power to any unit.

[NecroBlade]

For only 40 points more than Kato you could take double turns with bonding units, or 4 turns for every order marker! That's a bit ridiculous; maybe putting a line of sight limitation or something on the power might help?

[StarofEarendil]

Good point. I hadn't quite thought out four turns an order marker. I hadn't thought of LoS limitations. I think I'll change that.

[NecroBlade]

Kato's limitation is just "clear line of sight," so you could start there, but other similar powers often use something even more restrictive like "within 8 clear sight spaces" (see: Ornak, Marro Hive).

[Frylock]

Also, the war elephant could destroy any medium hero with a roll of 8 or more. That's pretty overpowered imo. Maybe make it more like TKN, where they would recieve a wound.

[NecroBlade]

I hadn't looked at the other cards yet, but I will comment on the elephant now, too.

Overpowered.














OK, I'll say more.

Trample Charge, as noted, is basically an extremely better version of TKN's Trample Stomp. I say just use that: if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Raging Tusks is also ridiculous. Even Hulk can only throw 3 dice at all adjacent figures at once, and that has further restriction on it! Lower it to 4, at the most. I like the part about attacking normally afterward (for using the Archer Box) but that is also overpowered. Maybe make the special 2 or 3 dice if you're going to leave that part in. After those changes, 260 would look more appropriate. As he is now, he's well over 300 points, IMO.

Shoot, I completely forgot about that. That definitely needs to change.
