Re: AndreThaGiant's Customs [*NEW* WILDWOOD SENTIENT]

A giant Wildwood is a cool idea. Sentient of the Forest and Slow Regeneration are a powerful combination, but a Life of 5 should likely limit their effects to saving a single Runner each round—still a valuable use. I'd actually say that the points are fine, as one must risk disrupting the Wildwood supply chain by dropping a Sentinel and/or a Runner to use the Sentient outside of larger games.

I am slightly concerned about Uproot's consequences against ranged units, though; because the Sentient is the only Wildwood that can neither grow into a greater unit nor grow out of a lesser unit, carries no bonding power to build board control, and cannot attack a figure at the farthest edge of its move, it seems acutely vulnerable to kiting strategies. In an extreme example, figures such as Agent Carr or Calibrax are even able to torment it in such a manner while repeatedly disengaging at little to no risk on sufficiently hilly maps, as the 5-Move double-spaced figure can hardly expect to throw more than a single attack die under such conditions.
