Re: [Pod 1] UNIT NAME (Ob Nixilis, Demon of Spite) - Design
I just read in on the conversation here and had an interesting take pop into my head. So if you guys would humor me Ill throw my pennies and run away. With this guy having an aura of hatred or something to that affect, what if he made all figures within X spaces attack with a plus one and subtracted 1 from defense. You could make an exception to some figures if you wanted as the likes of gothloks exception of valkrill losing defense. Alright. Im running away now. Look forward to the discussion.

Re: [Pod 1] UNIT NAME (Ob Nixilis, Demon of Spite) - Design
What do people want: Demon, Hybrid, Kyrie or other.
My preference is either Demon or Hybrid. An idea for a name could be Pazuzus. Pazuzu was a demon in ancient Mesopotamian religion, He was the bearer of storms and drought. Often depicted with his right hand up and left hand down same as Ob nixilis. Long live heroscape |

I think Hybrid is clever, in both a good and a bad way. Hybrids don't always have to be half human, right?
Demon is my second choice. |

I also like the whiff punish option, though I don’t think all blanks is workable. It’s very rare, for one, and also has different odds depending on if you’re playing with first edition dice (which were separated into attack dice with 3 skulls 3 blanks and defense dice with 2 shields 4 blanks) or not. It’s a shame, though, as I do prefer a version that doesn’t add the extra step of a d20 roll to the mix, especially if we have one for Soul Decay Spirit which it looks like we might go with. EDIT: Also, I think I slightly prefer Demon. Hybrid works, but only with a little extra layer of explanation that doesn’t seem quite in spirit with the archetype that species represents. |

I'm not exactly against a d20 roll either, as long as it's not super common. Maybe something like, Soul Decay Aura 4 Whenever an enemy figure within 4 clear sight spaces makes a normal attack but does not roll any skulls, roll the 20-sided die. If you roll an 11 or higher, that figure receives one wound. |

Re: [Pod 1] UNIT NAME (Ob Nixilis, Demon of Spite) - Design
I don't know why, but I'm getting a Khorne vibe here. A sort of "fight for my amusement" kind of thing where he is on your side, but he's just there for a good time.;
Utgar [Ob] (can happen after abilities and such are settled) Demon Unique Hero Lord Merciless [Height] (unsure of model scale, but guessing 5) LIFE 6 MOVE 5 RANGE 1 ATTACK 5 DEFENSE 4 POINTS (TBD) Special Powers: Gift of Violence Whenever another figure within 5 spaces makes an attack against a target other than [Ob], its controller may choose to add 1 to the attack value. If the target is wounded or destroyed by that attack, place a Blood Debt Marker on this Army Card. Blood Rites At the start of [Ob]'s move, you may remove 2 Blood Debt Markers on this Army Card to either remove a Wound Marker from [Ob] or gain +1 to Move or Attack this turn. Use this ability only once each turn. Incite Blood Lust While there are 6 or more Blood Debt Markers on this card, [Ob] and allied figures you control within 5 spaces of him have +1 attack and move. Flying (as normal) Just a quick mockup and thought on him at a glance. |

I do like the essence of gift of violence but without markers. How about: Whenever another figure within 2 clear sight spaces of (name) makes a normal attack, its controller may choose to add 1 to the attack value. If so after defense dice are rolled the attacking figure must roll 20 sided die 1-13? they receive one wound. Long live heroscape |

Re: [Pod 1] UNIT NAME (Ob Nixilis, Demon of Spite) - Design
The addition of an attack aura for any figures within 5 spaces of him for all with the exception that they may not target him would keep the points down a little bit. I would add that if the figure does not wound another figure with the attack boost it must take a wound. That would keep the power somewhat in check. That paired with flying may fill quite a bit of the card along with giving him an interesting enough angle that he would be fun to play. If another ability is added it may need to be less text heavy to fit on the card.

Re: [Pod 1] UNIT NAME (Ob Nixilis, Demon of Spite) - Design
Yeah, I like the missed attack also wounding the attacker. Maybe something like this (and drop the blood debt)?;
Gift of Violence Whenever another figure within 5 spaces makes an attack against a target other than [Ob], its controller may choose to add 1 to the attack value. If the attacker does not inflict any wounds or destroy the defender, the attacker suffers 1 damage. Incite Blood Lust All figures within 5 spaces receive +1 attack as long as they are not attacking [Ob]. Whenever any figure within this area is wounded or destroyed, remove a Wound Marker from this Army Card. |
