When rolling defense dice for Sabbac, if the attacking figure does not have the Super Strength special power, add one automatic shield to whatever is rolled.

EVIL COURAGE OF ASMODEUS
After an opponent rolls the 20-sided die for a figure adjacent to Sabbac, you may roll the 20-sided die. If your result is higher, that figure receives 1 wound.

Not really any changes here from what we had in LCW. It is viable to question if he should be dual speciesed with Demon, or just completely switched to Demon.

[IAmBatman]

Tough one to calculate (negative powers always throw things). I'd go with about 275, though, to start.

I don’t think the wording on the first power is going to give you the effect you want. Sounds like I can place a marker when he receives the first wound and remove it when he takes another wound.

Yeah I may just go with not removing markers on healing. Not a lot of healers in the game, and probably not thematic for the demons to suddenly he happier with him. And don't need more words going on to clarify an unnecessary effect.

[Soundwarp SG-1]

I don't understand what Evil Courage of Some Guy is doing.

Is it supposed to be a re-roll? A second die that can trigger the effects again? (I hope not because that would be super messy and also really bad) A D-20 not connected to the other person's power that can't count for it's success/failure/etc.?

[Lazy Orang]

The way I'm reading it, it's a re-roll - if it stops a power from triggering, cool, but if it rolls higher - which could cause a power to trigger against him - at least the opponent takes a wound to pay for it. Really cool power if I'm right.

[LordVenoc]

So my intent was to play off Asmodeus and its classification as the demon of lust, so like a lust for power concept. Don't think I quite nailed the execution though.

[IAmBatman]

If the courage power is a reroll, it should say "reroll," IMO. If it's a separate die roll completely, I think Vibe (Paco) might have some wording that'd help clarify.

[LordVenoc]

Honestly doesn't matter to me if we want to make it a reroll or just a way for him to potentially affect people using D20s. I think the theme can come through either way, just depends what we think is more interesting.
