How many Goblins have you run across that are good? Humans are all across the spectrum, but everywhere I see a goblin, it is a bad goblin. (Unless you are a huge Hary Potter fan, but I haven't seen Heroscape pull from Harry Potter... So that is a very WEAK argument in my eyes.)

Re: The Pre-SoV Workshop
I like him as-is. Aquilla (the chaotic neutral general) is a good alternate general for wayward goblins; Einar would be (as the lawful neutral general) unacceptable.
The one thing that I want to ask about is the theme of Sneak Thief. What is the theme there, and what does that theme have to do with the name of the power? Because it may be that the name can be improved. Or it may be that the name is fine. edit: Kinseth ninja. Aquilla's forces are definitely not all "good." Some of them are wild and dangerous. I don't have a problem with Aquilla. The C3V has made evil elves and evil dwarves; I don't see why the canon cannot tolerate an Aquilla goblin. He is the Drizz't of his kind, or something like that. |

Re: The Pre-SoV Workshop
How about instead of sneak thief = Opportunity Knocks

Re: The Pre-SoV Workshop
Well, I actually *like* how Sneak Thief is closely related to the mini and the theme of the unit. What I want to know is how it's related to the theme of the power. If it works, great. I just want to hear how it works.

Re: The Pre-SoV Workshop
My favorite idea for Templar Infantry has always been to turn the cavalry into a 2-life unit. Here's a 1-power version of it:
UNMOUNTED RIDERBasically, 1-10 means the horse dies (and the rider continues on foot), 11-20 means the rider dies (and the horse can be mounted by another knight if one is there). You could very reasonably include a third, bad outcome - say, on 1-3 you can't do anything special (i.e. both horse and rider cannot continue). You would also probably want to playtest to figure out if some split other than 50/50 between horse and rider deaths improves the playability. I think this is really cool and thematic, and makes them more competitive in a pretty unique way, but opinions vary. |

His Sneak Thief ability used to be called "Goblin Looting" actually. But that sort of implied that he was looting the dead bodies of his allies. So it was renamed Sneak Thief and sort of tied into his bio. I am 100% open to renaming it. By volunteering that, am I good with using it? Something like Opportunity Knocks is spot on! |

Re: The Pre-SoV Workshop
I don't like Opportunity Knocks. Please, Dewk, explain the theme of this power. It doesn't need to be a great explanation, but give it a shot. Then we can work on a name.

"My ally received his orders, and was going to strike, but was himself struck down. I am aware of his orders, and can perhaps use this opportunity to get in an underhanded strike of my own!" Edit: Is "Goblin Opportunism" too much of a mouthful? |

Re: The Pre-SoV Workshop
Let's riff on what you and Kinseth have both suggested, and combine them thusly:
Opportunistic Thief |

Re: The Pre-SoV Workshop
I like it! Five syllables vs one syllable is a price I'm willing to pay for a better name. Thank you.
