Brew's DnD Customs

[Toad Rocket]

Ok, maybe your right with Grishnak and having him pretty expensive with the four radius. Are you actually playing this adventure party with other orcs?

I suppose my concern would be army construction, a 200 point unit is very pricey to invest in. I still think 200 is too high. Taelord is 180, can fly and gives +1 attack to everybody and his uncle. Dont get me started on that harlot Raelin who gives out +2 defense to anybody who asks for a mere 80 points. Grishnak only helps orcs, which is a total of 3 squads and 4 heroes. Sure multi-bonding is useful, but that just helps him keep with his orc buddies. His attack of three is nothing special and his defense is only good, not excellent.
Anyway, back to army construction, at 200 points he is very pricey to fit into an orc army unless you are playing high point armies. Typically you will have Grimnak or Krug in your orc army depending which one you are building. So with one of those two guys plus grishnak your sitting at a whopping 320 points invested in only two figures.

Again, just my 2 cents worth of observations. I think keeping him at 100 with a radius of 2 for his orc enhancements is just fine.

well, you gotta remember, the orc army is cheaper than the Ashigaru even! And /their/ leader is 200 points, and he doesn't even give 'em a bonus. He just moves them.

I think the orcs are cheap enough for a high-cost hero, that's for sure.

Think he'd be worth his points at a defense of 5? That would be 2.5 skulls, that's near the equivalent of 7 regular defense, which is a lot better than any other orc heroes. His defense is already equivalent to 6, I hardly think it needs THAT much more boosting

Maybe an attack of 4, defense of 5.

He's not meant for attacking in our party, so any more attack would be ridiculous, and his defense at 5 would be equivalent to Q9.

And I like a radius of 4, just because it's big. I would go up to 6 if I thought an attack 4, defense 7, 6 range cheerleader was worth as little as 200 points.

to answer your origional question, no. there are no other orcs in our party, but I like to make guys who work well in other armies and not just a 4-man squad.

We could run into situations where we would like some squads with us, which is why Hallas has Knight bonding and Grish has Orc bonding.

Completely revamped the party, almost everybody has a change or two, so please examine them all! Point cost is determined by their kills so far, not by their sole worth as a unit. As they stack up kills their value will warrant more abilities.

Grishnak is my fav! (I have a soft spot for anything orcish!)

Although... you might want to rephrase his bonding so that "any friendly orc", so that your opponents can't use him to attack your own party.

And I still think that even though he's good, Utgar. Just so he fits. But he's yours, and its your decision.
