Re: The Workbook of Aragorn
That vote passed and then nothing else happened, because we had rules about how many units could be in what stages at a time and blah blah blah Aragorn just sat waiting.

Re: The Workbook of Aragorn
Looking back on our conversation, I like where we ended up, but I would drop the Wilderness Instincts power and then either
a) restore this power from the first draft Quote:
b) bump his attack to 5 If I recall correctly White Knight would have liked either of those Formerly known as capsocrates -- Remixed Master Sets - challenge yourself with new terrain combinations! -- Colorado Fall 2023 Multiplayer Madness -- caps's Customs Redux - caps's multiplayer maps - caps's maps - Seagate -- Continuing Classic Heroscape: C3V SoV |

Re: The Workbook of Aragorn
The synergy poll is just about unanimous, so I think we should change Dunedain to Human for better bonding. Aragorn being a Dunedain probably has the most justification out of all the overly specific subspecies, but we have a shoutout to it in one of his powers so that might have to do.

Re: The Workbook of Aragorn
Here's where I'd like to see us go for Strider.
NAME = ARAGORNI am not sure about the RESOLUTE personality though.

Re: The Workbook of Aragorn
Dunedain Tracking is interesting, I like mobility features and I think they fit the heroes of Middle Earth well which is probably because of how the movies portrayed them (also running across rohan to track down Merry and Pippin).
Ranger of the North is a really good defensive ability, I've played this character with Hide in Darkness before but I think that I prefer this because it allows him to protect another figure. We aren't worried about him protecting Raelin too much though, right? Resolute could easily be switched for Confident or Stoic or Wary. |

Re: The Workbook of Aragorn
I think the best personality is "Fearless". Certainly needed for the "RotK" version (since army of the dead & all) but I don't think Aragorn starts out any less fearless in the books, so I don't see a reason to change it.
I'm not worried about him protecting Raelin. Raelin won't be on your front line, which means: A) Raelin now costs 180 points. Not worth it. B) You used an OM to protect Raelin for only 1 turn. Not worth it. I think moving the defense up to 4 might make sense here, with only 5 life. For a stand-alone, single attack hero I think he needs the survivability boost to validate a strong OM investment in a given round. |

Re: The Workbook of Aragorn
It may depend on the sculpt we decide to use but I’d like to see him have Tandros style range. I believe he uses a small bow in both the movies and the books in FotR. It could alternatively be a special attack..
Hunting Bow Special Attack Range 5. Attack 3. Hunting Bow Special Attack May only be used to attack Small or Medium Figures. |

Re: The Workbook of Aragorn
We discussed range quite a bit the first time around. White Knight was pretty set against range, arguing that he had no bow in the book. I like how that simplifies the design as well, so I'd rather not see range

Denying ranged attacks altogether for one turn strikes me as... inelegant? And also not quite hitting his ability to keep four Hobbits safe by himself. There’s already a mechanic in the game for what you’re trying to achieve, why not adapt that? RANGER’S CONCEALMENT 16 When Strider, or an unengaged small or medium figure adjacent to Strider is targeted for a normal or special attack and receives 1 or more wounds, you may roll the 20-sided die. Count the minimum number of spaces between the attacking figure and the defending figure. Add this number to your die roll. If you roll a 16 or higher, ignore any wounds the defending figure just received. Also, if you’re trying to represent the Ranger and not the King here, I’d say the personality is better as Tricky. He tracked Gollum across half the known world, outwitted spies of Sauron and the Nazgul, etc. Resolute and Confident are good for where he ends up, but not as representative as where he starts the books. “I think a servant of the enemy would look fairer, and feel fouler.” “Whereas I look foul and feel fair, is that it?” |
