The Book of Siiv

[Serenity]

Very cool assassin. I'm not sure how much I'll use him because of how fragile he seems and generally preferring lots of attacks per turn.

But, he doesn't cost much, so could have games where he more than earns his points. He could make a hole in melee screens guarding Raelin, since he'll ignore all of the pumped-up defenses.

If this guy attacks a Rat with Quick Stab SA, do they Scatter (even though they cannot roll defense)?

[Arch-vile]

No, it's a special attack.

Spoiler Alert!

Just for wonders, would they if it wasn't a special attack?

Nope, because Siiv prevents them from rolling defense at all, Scatter would not trigger.

Now if Siiv's ability reduced their defense to zero (perhaps he drops defense by 4?), then they would get to Scatter.

A situation that actually would matter: if MBS used Paralyzing Stare on a Rat. As flameslayer said, Scatter would not trigger.

Similarly, Warforged Resolve does not work against Quick Stab.

Not fair!

Well met!

One of the armies I am considering for Islandscape is

150 Romans x 3
100 Marcus
90 Ne-Gok-Sa
50 Me-Burq-Sa
40 Siiv
440, 17 spaces, 16 figures.

The Romans are always looking for a Special Attacker, and Siiv is the cheapest, most efficient one, especially for killing those annoying Deathreavers.

That would work good.

A lot of Gencon armies this year would love to have Siiv over Theracus. Death Chasers are one.

Siiv is also extra good in this format, sicne there are fewer figures, making each Quick Stab worth more.

This is a really cool figure and when I saw it I had to have it. I went to Miniature Market as suggested, but they were sold out. So, I looked at Troll and Toad and Strike Zone Online and between the two of them there are quite a few, at least nine left. And a unique hero same sculpt (I forget his name, I did a search for Indy) and there are some of him as well.

I'm looking forward to information about the planet. I picture a sort of mosaic world that houses several species that might not hail from the other planets.
