The Book of Brandis Skyhunter
The Book of Brandis Skyhunter Champions of the Forgotten Realms - Collection D1 - Heroes of the Faerun
Spoiler Alert!
Heroscape Character Bio: (from Truth's front-page description) : Brandis is a Half-Elf summoned by Ullar. He’s adept at tracking those that use the trees to hide their advance. With his SKY WATCHER power, he adds 2 attack dice against Flying figures, and with ARCHER’S GLORY he takes a free turn every time he destroys a non-adjacent unique hero, so look out if your army focuses on flying figures!

Re: The Book of Brandis Skyhunter
My initial thought on Brandis wasn't too positive. I assumed Syvarris was better, but Brandis is great for counter-drafting!
Also, his 6 move might be the deciding factor between height advantage and no height advantage. This guy imposes a threat on Charos, come on! |

Re: The Book of Brandis Skyhunter
I really, really, just one time, want to see this guy kill Cyprien Esenwein, take another turn and kill the broken-hearted Sonya, then take another turn and get their daughter if she's on the board, too. Then, I really can call him Van Helsing.

Re: The Book of Brandis Skyhunter
You give Brandis Holy Glyph of Pelor (attack +2 vs. undead), have him kill CYprein with it, then Sonya, then Iskra, if she doesn't have Rechets on board, then Marcu.

Re: The Book of Brandis Skyhunter
I'm a little annoyed at his 5 range. Seems pretty short for an archer. His 6 move partially makes up for his forgetting to pull the string back all the way, but it's still only a threat range of 11.
My sig would like to say that it is a sig. Let's all wave hi to the sig. Can't find what your looking for? Try the Index.

Re: The Book of Brandis Skyhunter
OKay, so if the flier is negated then the Brandis won't get the bonus because he won't ever get his power back. But what if Someone had the wind glyph (the wind glyph makes flying impossible for all figures as long as someone is standing on it) Would the same rules apply, at least for the duration that the wind glyph power is in current use?

Re: The Book of Brandis Skyhunter
According to the Glossary of Glyphs thread, the wind glyph text says that all figures with the Flying special power "lose this power" while standing on the glyph. That would imply to me that Brandis wouldn't get the bonus while that glyph is being utilized.

Re: The Book of Brandis Skyhunter
Allright, so in any situation where a figure is unable to fly Brandis won't get his ability, weather it be negation or wind glyph.

Re: The Book of Brandis Skyhunter
I tried playing a couple of games with Brandis and it is difficult to get "Sky Watcher" to help for more than one turn. With the range of 5, Brandis typically will get only one "Sky Watcher" shot against the flying figure before the flying figure gets adjacent to Brandis. Dragons, Cyprien, or even a Sentinel or Minion can close the distance and take away the extra attack dice.

Re: The Book of Brandis Skyhunter
I agree, I think he was made to be used in the dungeon, with the uniques he is pretty good, but yes he just cant compare to KA or Syvarris

Other than this, so far I haven't been able to finagle him into even casual play... ...But I'll keep trying. maybe the community will find a solid slot for him to be in. |
