The Book of Roamer
 

_________________________________________________________________

Character Bio - Roamers “move slowly and are not especially dangerous, except in large numbers or with the element of surprise [....] Rick [Grimes'] group classifies [the walking dead] as either roamers or lurkers, the former category being more likely to venture toward a loud noise in search of human prey.” (Wikipedia, 2014).

-Rulings and Clarifications-

• Q. When targeting a Roamer from behind it, if you can't see its head, can you still target the Roamer?
• A. Yes, if you can see the area of its back where the head would be. Thematically, you can imagine shooting through the body in order to hit the head.
• Q: Can I continue to bring back Roamers with Viral Infection if I no longer control any Roamers on the battlefield?
• A: Generally, unless otherwise stated, powers stop working after all the figures from the card are destroyed. There is nothing in Viral Infection to except it from this rule, so therefore once all figures with the Viral Infection special power that you control have been destroyed, you can no longer use Viral Infection to bring any of your destroyed Roamers back.

NAME = ROAMER

SPECIES = UNDEAD
UNIQUENESS = COMMON HERO
CLASS = DEVOURER
PERSONALITY = RAVENOUS

SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5

LIFE = 1

MOVE = 4
RANGE = 1
ATTACK = 3
DEFENSE = 2

POINTS = 20

UNDYING HUNGER
Before moving, choose an opponent’s figure on the battlefield that is not an Android, Construct, or Undead. Add 1 to this Roamer's Move number for each Wound Marker on the chosen figure's card, up to a maximum of +2, if this Roamer ends its move engaged with the chosen figure.

VIRAL INFECTION
When an opponent’s medium figure that is not an Android, Construct, or Undead is destroyed, replace that figure, if possible, with any previously destroyed common Undead Devourer in your army.

Running zombies, ahhh!

Cool, I like it. :up:

Re: The Book of Roamer - Design Phase
 

Looks good. Just need to add Construct to Viral Infection.

Re: The Book of Roamer - Design Phase
 

More lurching forward for a short burst than anything, but, yeah. :-D

Re: The Book of Roamer - Design Phase
 

Good catch! :-) I'd fixed that in the one power, but not the other.

I went ahead and added it now so I won't forget.

Re: The Book of Roamer - Design Phase
 

A 4 Move single-activation common hero might not be worth too many Order Markers, but it'll probably come in handy once you start getting them back in the middle of an enemy army. Looks good to me.

Re: The Book of Roamer - Design Phase
 

Do you plan to put WAVES OF UNDEAD on the Lurkers, or have you dropped that power completely?

Re: The Book of Roamer - Design Phase
 

I thought I answered this in the last one - yes, Waves of Undead is planned for the Lurkers. :-) I didn't want to put it on multiple ones, and since those will be the weakest on their own, it made sense.

Re: The Book of Roamer - Design Phase
 

No issues here :up:.

Re: The Book of Roamer - Design Phase
 

Nothing from SirG here yet but doesn't look like anyone is requesting any changes, so I'll go ahead and send this to the ERB! :-)

Re: The Book of Roamer - Design Phase
 

Huh, don't know how I missed this post earlier. Anyway, sounds like a plan!
