The Book of Eternal Warrior

[LordVenoc]

Something like this, but I could also see "Leaving Paradise" as a name, or maybe "Fight from Paradise". I dunno. Its hard to find one that perfectly nails the theme concisely. Though, the clause isn't quite as clunky as I worried it would. Again, keep in mind that thematically it isn't a question of IF he will resurrect, but WHEN. Obviously, sometimes he won't resurrect in time for the fight at hand.

FROM THE AFTERLIFE
When Eternal Warrior is destroyed, begin your next turn with a total of 4 Wound Markers on this card. While Gilad is destroyed, whenever you reveal an order marker on a card you control, you may roll 1 combat die. If you roll a skull, remove one Wound Marker from Eternal Warrior's card. If there are 4 Wound Markers on this card and a blank is rolled, you may not roll for From the Afterlife for the remainder of the round. At the start of any round after removing the last wound marker from this card, you may place Eternal Warrior on an empty space in your start zone.

Anyone have an idea where he's landing on points right now? I'm still struggling with valuing powers on the calculator.

I see where you are coming from, but I think the more interesting mechanic is this:

Then it can represent the delays that come from combat in the afterlife as well.

That's basically the point of the shields and blanks when you roll, just general slow down. I don't care for that level of a major slowdown always being on the table, but I don't hate it enough to deny a legitimate interest from many.

Sorry for the delay, but how does this look mod wise?

[LordVenoc]

I might see a tweak or two I'll make for personal use once I make myself a version, like how I'm adding Ninjak's swords. Overall though, looks good to me, and looks like a fairly simple one. Thanks Soundwarp! You rock!

[Soundwarp SG-1]

Oh yeah, there are definitely some things that can be done for added accuracy. Like his green armor thing on his shirt and such. Was trying to keep the official version as simple as I could though since it already involved modding and face painting

Yup! And I think this works perfectly for that. Quite close to the look, and I can make him more accurate for mine. No need for my specific desires to overly complicate the mini. Thanks again! Whenever you can get comprehensive mini pics, that'd be even more awesome.

[Soundwarp SG-1]

I should have more pics tomorrow, was going to get more tonight but then i saw that weird blotch on his leg that I've got to fix.

Calculator is giving me 175. I put resurrection powers pretty high, so I went 4 here (I'd go higher, but it's not that easy a resurrection and he's not that powerful). The movement is nice, but he's a ground pounding melee figure moving two spaces, so I only put it at a 2.

[johnny139]

My big concern about adding the "blanks slow him down" thing is that it makes an uphill battle even more uphill. Like you're saying, he's just a melee dude without it, and it's gonna be a challenge getting him back into the fray.

I've also thought on it some and am in favor of SS here. He's the team tank and takes a beating, so I think we should lean into that here.

Says he's more than 1,000 years old. What culture is he originally from? 'Gilad Anni-Padda' is a pretty bloody odd name that's not giving me any clues I can decipher.

Ooo sorry I missed this question. There's allusions to ancient Mesopotamian culture, but the brothers' (Gilad, Ivar, and Aram) parents (Anni and Padda) were essentially Neanderthals. I believe mom was essentially responsible for the oath to the Earth Gilad now fills.

Wow, that's older than I was expecting! Mesopotamia was home to the Earth's first real civilisations, as far as I know. That's pretty awesome.
Were his parents neanderthals or early homo-sapiens? Is he a neanderthal? If so, we might need to tweak his species.
