[Pod 0] Ozuul (Eldrazi Ruiner) - Playtesting

[NecroBlade]

I'm always down for a good reference. What about adding a little something to it a la Doggin, Gryphillin, or Trolticor?

[Astroking112]

I'd be fine with that. Kerrin sounds a little weird to me, but there are plenty of other options.

Bumping!

Species:

Voidlord, Voidwalker, Betweener, Horizonist, Gravituum, Accretio.

PErsonality - Inscrutable?

[Astroking112]

I like Nihilistic as the personality still. Inscrutable is interesting, but it feels more like an Eldritch theme than something out of a black hole to me.

If we don't like some variation of Kerr for the species, Accretio also sounds good.

[Pumpkin_King]

I actually like Gravituum as a species name.

[Astroking112]

Gravituum doesn't sound quite right to me because it's so close to gravity. It feels a little too on the nose.

[Pumpkin_King]

That's fair. Accretio is named for the accretion disc around a black hole.

Ran a HoB game with Ozuul and Pyria in what would seem to be his best kind of brawl. He’s a bit disappointing vs heroes, but mainly because he’s envisioned to be so expensive. Maybe we’ll need to make sure some heroes have low attack and defense to actively help him in this setting.

We can do it!

[Astroking112]

Both Pyria and Tetsuo Tyrell have a low defense already. I'm fine with heroes being the counter to Ozuul in general; in theory, he can tie down a lot of commons and deal damage before falling. I'd imagine that he'll perform better when AotV is mixed with normal HeroScape sets as a result, but I'm content so long as he feels fun to play with what we have as well.

[Astroking112]

Kerr is still my favorite species name. Does anyone else have any thoughts they'd like to share on it?

I don't believe that @capsocrates or @All Your Pie have weighed in on this yet, so I'm curious if either of you have any preferences as well.

I've been itching to get back into the AotV threads for a little while now. Unfortunately I have quite a few plans for the long weekend so I'm not sure how soon I'll get to it.

Kerr sounds (just like) the word cur. Which kinda works if Ozuul is a space marauder, but it conjures up images of a space rascal as opposed to a big bad guy, to me at least. I think Kerr is a little wierd for the species.

I think some alien sounding gibberish is the way to go personally, although we might get there by building off a real name. Beelzebub has plenty of syllables and plenty of ways it could be modified. We could also play with prefix type thingies like Mort- or Grav- or something. Basically, I have no suggestion, other than I think Kerr sounds off.
