Yes. As long as the elf receives "enough wounds to be destroyed", the home leaf aura applies. That includes counterstrike, falling damage, disengagement, lava damage, and calls from your mother.

(It doesn't help with molten lava or other insta-kill situations, though.)

So, an Aubrien Archer who wants to disengage while in the aura has a 61.24% chance of surviving instead of only a 50% chance. It's not stealth armor, but it's worth considering.

Re: The Book of Acolarh

Great. That's what I was hoping, but I began to over-analyze it after reading some of the earlier posts in this thread.

Re: The Book of Acolarh

I busted Acolarh out for a game with Mittens and Aubriens. He helped ALOT (but Mittens helped more, scoring me 5 Frenzies in a row...but that's not the point). He saved 7 Aubriens (Well...saved Aubriens 7 times) from falling to Moriko's Saber Storm, until she finally decided to go for him instead. He's worth 110.

Re: The Book of Acolarh

Acolarh isn't as horrible as people say. He's not well suited for most tournaments, but there are maps/point or hex totals where he can be effective. I'm considering him for at least one GenCon event.

(I'm inclined to tell a story about how my Acolarh took down Matthias in my first game of Heroscape, but I'm just too good a sport to bring it up. Besides, then he'd bring up something about orcs on Broken Hope.)

I could see Acolarh, Raelin, and a bunch of WoA being a tough nut to crack in the Heat of Battle format.

I find a slightly different chance of survival. If you need 3 out of the 10 dice in order for the aura to work, then we are looking at a binomial function where n = 10, k = 3, and p = 1/6.
I get binomial(10, 3, 1/6) = 0.155 which gives the archer a 65.50% chance of survival. The binomail function is defined here

Did you get the 11.24 from a table somewhere?

Edit: Actually, if we take into account that you could roll more than 3 symbols, then the chance goes up to 22.48%

Note that 11.24 is half of 22.48 - you don't add the 22.48 to the 50, you multiply the (100-x) values. 61.24% is exactly correct.

~Aldin, who calculates a 41.86% chance to survive disengagement from one of the KoW

Go ahead and rub salt in the wound....I don't mind. Just don't get mad if I accidentally attack your units at the team tourney this weekend.

Re: The Book of Acolarh

I think he would be great in a 600 point elf wizard army with ulginesh. I will say that I'd rather have raelin with Aubrien Archers since they have 7 range and can easily stay in her aura. Their average of 0.67 shields and 1 shield if they have height become 1.33 shields and 1.67 shields respectively. This may help more than Acolarh...Aldin can you do the math?

Re: The Book of Acolarh

Brownsfan,

Against an attack of 3, AAs have a 62.5% of getting killed, 50.9% if they have height advantage.

Acolarh removes 22.5% of those deaths - that's a 14.1% improvement without height advantage, and an 11.5% improvement with height advantage.

Raelin changes the percentage chance of dying to 40.7% and 32.1%, respectively - that's a 21.8% improvement without height advantage, and an 18.8% improvement with height advantage.

Either way, Raelin offers a bigger edge.

Re: The Book of Acolarh

Acolarh has become my new favorite flag bearer. Here are some of my favorite armies for him:

Acolarh 110
Sonlen 160
Kyntella Gwyn 20
WoA x4 200
Otonashi/Isamu
Total 500

Acolarh 110
Theracus 40
Syvarris 100
WoA x5 250 (I only have 4, so I might sub in Arkmer.)
Total 500

Acolarh 110
Theracus 40
Aubrien Archers x5 350
Total 500

I'm not saying they're the best, but they fair averagely.
