:thumbsup:

Can't wait to see Tcglkn's idea.

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

Perfect. Thanks!

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

I'm gonna go with designing Eragon. I plan to use Tandros Kreel as the proxy figure.

I just start with brainstorming right or do I need to post a write up now.

I hope to capture his Dragon Riding, the fact that he can store up his energy in gems on his belt for use during battle, his sword Brisingr and maybe range because he uses a bow and arrow from time to time.

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

I haven't read any of the books so it will be tough for me to contribute much in the early stages but here is an idea I had for a Dragon Riding ability a while back...

Pretty basic.

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

That's pretty much what I was going for Lama, thanks for writing it up for me. :up:

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

I now finally have a use for my extra Tandros Kreel

Usually, when I propose ideas, I put them into a card format, but this time, I think I need to deconstruct things.

Brisingr- Since Eragon has a bow to use, and the Tandros Kreel miniature represents that, may his Brisingr ability could be like the Minions' Deadly Strike. He could have a base 3 attack to go with it.

Brisingr
When Eragon attacks an adjacent figure with a normal attack, all skulls count for one additional hit.

Energy Reserves-Eragon's offensive spells could be illustrated with his normal ranged attack, so I think the focus should be on his augmentive spells.

Perhaps...

Energy Reserves
At the beginning of the round, after order markers are placed, you may either add 2 to Eragon's move, 1 to Eragon's range, or 1 to Eragon's Defense for the remainder of the round.

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

I can't do much more with Eragon, since I also don't know much about him, but I like Lama's Dragon Rider ability. As for the "sometimes uses his bow" thing, I would say to simply copy Tandros.

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

I like that suggestion for Brisingr.

This is something I can work with too, I think it would look better like this:

Energy Reserves
At the beginning of the round, after order markers are placed, you may either add 2 to Eragon's Move for the remainder of the round, 1 to Eragon's Range or Defense for the remainder of the round, or remove one wound marker from this card.

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

From what little I know of Eragon, Dragon Rider, Brisingr, and Energy Reserves seem to fit the character very well. I'm anxious to see your write-up for Eragon, tcglkn.

What general are you thinking for Eragon ?
