The Book of Avernus
The Book of Avernus
Large Expansion Pack 5 (CVL2) - Navess's Repentance
Basic Card:
The printer-friendly .pdf version of this card can be found HERE.
The figure used for this unit is a Reaper figure from the Bones set. Its model name is Large Fire Elemental
The figure fits on a Small or Large peanut style base.
Figure picture and where to buy:
Promotional Text: Avernus, the final arrival from Toril, will burn what he cannot conquer. His scorched-earth tactics make him a great asset for Talingul's construct armies. Good luck putting this fire out, General Jandar!
SPECIAL POWERS- WAVE OF FLAME
Before moving normally with Avernus, and each time Avernus moves onto a space during normal movement, you must roll the 20-sided die once for each figure adjacent to Avernus. If you roll a 14 or higher, that figure receives 1 wound. Figures with the Lava Resistant special power are not affected by Wave of Flame. Avernus cannot roll for Wave of Flame against the same figure more than once per turn.
- LAVA RESISTANT
Avernus never rolls for molten lava damage or lava field damage, and it does not have to stop on molten lava spaces.
- NEGATIVE ELEMENT
Avernus can never roll defense dice while it is on a water space.
Rulings and Clarifications-- Negative Element: Water Plus Bonuses
Q. If Avernus is on a water space but has other bonuses (glyphs, height advantage, etc) can it roll defense for those bonuses?
A. No. When on a water space, a Fire Elemental cannot roll any Defense Dice. [FAQ 11.3 for Fire Elemental]
- Q: Can Avernus roll defense dice if standing on only one water space?
A: No, Negative Element applies even if only half of Avernus's base is in water.
- Q: If Avernus moves adjacent to Cathar Spearmen, which triggers first, Wave of Flame or Braced Spear?
A: You dice off to decide the order the powers trigger. If there are multiple spearmen that could use Braced Spear, roll one d20 for each of them. All spearmen whose d20 results are higher than Avernus's result then roll for Braced Spear. If Avernus survives, Avernus then rolls Wave of Flame against all eligible targets. After Wave of Flame completes, any surviving spearmen whose d20 results were lower than Avernus's result may roll for Braced Spear.
- Q: If Avernus moves next to both Parmenio and a Sacred Band, which does Avernus roll for first?
A: The player that activated Avernus decides the order for Wave of Flame rolls. So the player could choose to roll for Parmenio first in hopes of killing him off before rolling for the Sacred Band.
- Q: Can Avernus move onto uneven ground (different height hex under each space of Avernus) during its movement and use Wave of flame?
A: Possibly If there is any possibility that by moving onto a specific space, a double-hex figure could be forced to end their turn on an illegal spot, then that figure is forbidden from moving onto that space. No matter how small the chance may be, if there is any probability of an ability such as Wave of Flame failing, the player is not allowed to move that figure onto a space where failure (and a subsequent forced illegal placement) might occur. If however there is always a guaranteed legal move left, Avernus can move onto uneven ground and trigger Wave of Flame.
-Combinations and Synergies-
Synergy Benefits Received- TALINGUL: MASTER OF GREAT CONSTRUCTS: As a Large Construct Hero, Avernus may benefit from Talingul's Master of Great Constructs by taking a turn along with one other Large/Huge Construct Hero instead of Talingul.
- ORNAK : Red Flag of Fury
As a Unique Hero that follows Utgar, Avernus may benefit from Ornak’s RED FLAG OF FURY activation synergy.
Synergy Benefits Offered
Synergy Imposed- Figures with the Lava Resistant special power are not affected by Avernus' Wall of Flame special Power. This includes:
-Heroscapers Community Contributions-
Strategy, Tactics and Tips
-Power Ranking-- @dok Not quite as devastating as Augamo and Boreos, but a worthy addition to the construct army. B+
- TBA
