Urtmag seems like an extremely powerful figure! Maybe too power!? would definitely give Jotun a run for his money!

I wonder what diet he's on to get such a hard hide and regenerate so well, It's not doing wonders for his skin though!

[Avenger]

to make him the right amount of points, try adding like 100-200 points!

Heck, he could probably take on 2 Jotuns by himself. I'd say at least 300 points.

agreed. Or take away the two automatic shields, and give a negative to the regeneration. Like, if you roll 1-3 add 2 markers. If you roll 4-17 remove 1 marker. If you roll 17-20 remove 2 markers.
But still. 12 life, 10 att, 6 def alone is probably worth 400. I'd say everything in my post would cost at least 300pts with his att/def dropped down do meet Charos' stats. Those are pretty good specials for that low amount of points.

He has a fun mix of abilities but as stated by others he is far too powerful. He could probably kill two Jotuns at once. Maybe even three if he got some lucky rolls.

On average Jotun will roll 4 skulls with his normal 8 attack: the highest of any figure in the game. Utmarg will roll an average of 2 shields plus the 2 automatic shields from his thick hide: 4 shields total. In other words his defenses are good enough that Jotun will do 0 damage to him on average which means any figure weaker than Jotun will be hard pressed to damage him at all. Even if they do damage him he can heal up to 6 Life per round!

I would definitely tone down his abilities. At the moment most squad figures probably cannot touch him. Even if they do inflict 1-2 wounds, Utmarg can simply heal if you take a turn with him. He has a built in Kelda in addition to his incredibly strong defense and high life. Along with his offensive power and 2 range he is a powerhouse.

I would suggest:

a) Reduce his range to 1. Range 2 creates problems anyway since it would allow him to attack a figure 30 levels up on a castle which is strange.

b) Lowering his defense and/or the number of automatic shields he receives. At the moment most attacks will simply bounce off of him.

c) Maybe change the Regeneration so it only heals 1 wound per turn or maybe even per round. Not as big a deal since you already have a D20 roll for the ability.

Some good pointers, Rhydderch. Have you got any more custom cards made out, Taelord?
