Seeking ideas for "Chieftain" or "Medicine Man" Aquilla FB
Hi all,
I'm working on an Aquilla flagbearer custom (found a good standard for him to bear in the form of a totem pole.), and haven't been able to think of an interesting and balanced second power for him. I do want him to fit in with the Mohican theme, but have a class other than Tribesman (he should not have any sort of bonding with the MRT). I'm thinking that "Chieftain" or "Medicine Man" might be good class choices for him. That said, I don't want him to particularly cater to the Mohican units. Rather I want him to boost a larger set of Aquilla units in some way or another. Here's what I have so far: Taking all suggestions into consideration! Thanks! P.S., Favor of the Moon Goddess Aura is nyss's original idea. I just renamed it. |

I like the ability, it seems quite useful, which is different from some of the official flagbearers, heh.
If you're not happy with Cheiftain or Medicine Man, you could make him a shaman? Looks good so far. |

Re: Seeking ideas for "Chieftain" or "Medicine Man" Aquilla
I would go with "medicine man" or "shaman". I usually think of the flag bearers as support units. A "chieftain" seems more like an out-front melee type of unit leading into battle, not a support unit to boost the others.
That's just my way of thinking though. I am liking him so far. |

Concerning Favor of the Moon Godess. It seems a bit to powerful. Consider how good that makes Concelment.
I think the concept is nice, just a bit unbalanced. 73 tournaments. 175 - 145 - 1 overall record. 6 tournament wins. |

The bigger concern, I think, is more likely to be Sujoah's poisoning effect, because with that power, the Favor of the Moon Goddess could be used multiple times on the same turn, allowing the poison to "chain" more easily. But then again, I don't perceive Sujoah as a particularly strong figure to begin with either, so I don't think it's a problem. Last edited by rouby44; July 29th, 2009 at 06:19 PM. |

I will agree that Concealment 19 does actually seem a lot worse on paper than it turns out to be. Especially on longer range units like Omnicron snipers.

That said, does anyone have any ideas for a second power for him? Something that would boost some of the non-D20 units in Aquilla? |

Re: Seeking ideas for "Chieftain" or "Medicine Man" Aquilla
First off, clever idea on the totem pole. The Mohicans did use totem poles.
http://www.chainsawsculptors.com/totem_poles.htm According to this site, they sometimes had Wolf, turtle, turkey, bear, dog, opossum, yellow eel, crane, or chicken emblems. What if, instead of the power he has now, you have something like this: "After revealing an order marker on ____, roll 12 valkyrie dice. Each symbol counts as "x". All figures withing "x" spaces from ____ have no target hit zones until the revealing of your next order marker." We know that you usually don't get more than a few symbols, so this isn't too powerful, and it is limited to where the flag bearer actually is. And if you get a lucky roll, it could make a great difference. As far as names go, Mohican means "the people of the waters that are never still" because they lived near the hudson river. So maybe Chief Neverstill or Chief Stillwater. I also thought of Chief Big Cloud (kind of goes with the concealment idea). Another power could be some kind of water movement since the Mohican's were a water based tribe. Or a water healing ability. I'm just sayin. |
