Brickman1444, who hopes he got the format right.

Well just a little background info. Trignor was the 3rd custom I ever made, created right after I recieved wave 1. It's been turned over quite a few times and there was some controversy with the 1 unblockable attack die. Though now that we have units like Deadeye and Runa, a combination of their abilities is not all that interesting. Still he's a fun one to play, that can help you just as much as he can hurt you.

Instead of unblockable to a 4 attack die, and add tough.

What?

Well, I don't know about changing the attack, but if you decide to keep it, it should be worded as follows:

EARTHQUAKE SPECIAL ATTACK
Range 4 Attack 1
Roll 1 attack die for each Small or Medium figure within 4 spaces of Trignor, including Trignor. Figures affected by Earthquake Special Attack may not roll defense dice. Trignor does not need line of sight for this attack.

If you do keep it, I'd consider reducing the area of effect to 2 or 3 spaces.

I agree, but think I would word it as follows:

Earthquake Special Attack
Range 3. Attack 1.
Roll 1 attack die against each small and medium figure within 3 spaces of Trignor the Mountain Guard. No line of sight is needed. Figures affected by the Earquake Special attack may not roll defense dice. Trignor is affected by his own Earthquake Special Attack.

More consistent with official wording, IMO.

I agree with Necro, i like this wording the best so far.

Sounds good to me too.

I playtested him last night,

Trignor
Krav
Dumutef

Carr
Izumi
Sgnt Drake
Finn


Trignor rushed across the bridge. Marro, Drake, and Finn ran up to the bridge, but could not reach him, he killed all the marro, and wounded drake, and himself. Finn gave him a wound. Trignor wounds Finn and Drake, then runs over to the healing glyph. He eventually killed drake and finn, but essentially would have died in the first turn, and only done fifty points of damage. look at Cyprien, he has a just as devastating attack, life drain, six life, and flying, for only 30 points more, make him 180, give him six life so he can last longer, and make the earthquake ot effect him

Sorry for not chiming in earlier. My computer with the GImpg, all my customs and all my pictures/files/anything else that was important, will not start. All of a sudden it just started repeating the startup screen forever. I like the new wording for Earthquake, it is more official, but I have to download the GIMP to this computer, then recreate the entire card from scratch. Again I'm sorry for not being active, but circumstances as they are were not too permitting.
