Cthulu Tentacle - pre Auggies discussion

[3hex]

I can see it now. 510 points worth of Cthulu Tentacles. A true "Why me" moment for your opponent. I think it would be better as a Common Squad, tho...


But then, I've basically just started making CHCs. Maybe it's better your way. Probably.

Coolness. I noticed the roll of "a 18"; I think that should be "an 18". I know this is a minor quibble, but still. Also on the Kraken card I think you wrote "a 8".

I really like all the work you've put into the various tentacles. It makes me really want to invest in some of Auggie's stock!

I second the "an" 18 fix.

Fixed the "an" problem and increased the A/D to 4/4 and points to 35.

This guy is looking pretty scary now.

I think the wording on Graft should be "...destroy this Cthulu Tentacle, then take..."

I'm basing that off of wyrmling bonding which uses "that" as it's demonstrative determiner.

I think you have a good point since he is a Common hero and it will make it more clear...I will make the change.

I like these guys a lot. I have a couple wording suggestions:

On Sand Tunnel, I really don't think you need the "land" part of "sand land space". It's not like there is a sand water space or anything. Also, Graft doesn't seem to make provisions for Counter Strike or Vanish. I guess your turn might be over if the Tentacle was killed by Counter Strike, but with the current wording, you could still Graft even if the Hero moved away with a power like Vanish. I would add this to Graft:

"...has at least one wound and it is still adjacent to this Cthulhu Tentacle, you may roll the...

That would provide for both Counter Strike and Vanish.

I see what you are saying about not needing for "land" in Sand tunnel.

For Graft the requirements in the ability are that after attacking a figure if the figure has at least 1 wound you can try to Graft. With Vanish the figure moves before being wounded and the only Ninjas with Vanish would be dead if they received a wound. With Counterstrike there are only 2 figures that would be alive if they were wounded...Kaemon and Charos...and I think that if the Tentacle is destroyed then the chance for Graft is over but maybe it needs to be added for clarity.

Take this example, given that Ninja X has Vanish and more than one life:
Ninja X has a wound. A Tentacle attacks Ninja X and rolls at least one skull. Ninja X successfully Vanishes and moves 4 spaces away from the Tentacle. According to the current wording of Graft, the Tentacle could then try to Graft onto Ninja X, even though Ninja X is no longer adjacent to it.

Just because this could never happen with an official figure doesn't mean you don't have to provide for it.

I agree, but others might not. Adding the adjacency requirement to Graft would clear up any confusion.

You're welcome! Now I need to get my hands on some of these...

I was mistaken in my previous opinion of Graft, when I said "Why graft onto a wounded figure?" I was later thinking about the Werewolf Lord needing to injure a guy to infect him, and that led to thinking that the graft makes sense. Sorry!
