Thanks for the suggestions, @kolakoski !

I actually considered making Skrit a rogue originally, but it didn't feel quite as right as alchemist did thematically. She's not a super skilled rogue with the normal hallmarks of disengaging and avoiding damage, but she is still able to use her potion to disorient the enemy and get in a good sneak attack if the chance presents itself. It's close, but I think that the distinction between rogue and alchemist do present different themes here.

It would largely be a mechanical change to provide bonding with Brigands, then, which I'm not crazy about. They already have Darrak Ambershard (and potentially the Beakface Rogues) as a cheap Sneak Attack option, and adding bonding to the design as-is would probably necessitate a price bump because it'll be much easier to set up Skrit on the right maps. I'm fine with her falling outside of normal synergy webs because there's still plenty of creative things that can be done with the movement powers at 40 points.

I could see a Tricky personality, though. It admittedly feels like a better fit for Ullar than Terrifying, although as a personal preference I feel like Tricky is overused and doesn't convey a consistent theme anymore. If the contest hadn't specified using a Terrifying personality, I still might've gone for it in the original place, so I'll have to think about which one feels more natural.
