_________________________________________________________________

Character Bio - Millennia ago, N'Kantu was a slave - mightiest of the Swarili people, he was forced by the Egyptian Pharaoh Aram-Set to construct magnificent monuments in his image. But N'Kantu did not bow so easily, and soon fell in with a contingent of rebels. Their uprising failed - as punishment, he was bewitched, paralyzed, and preserved by a dark priest and mummified alive. Buried in a stone sarcophagus, it was not until the 20th century that the mummy was unearthed. Awake and insane, he rose to walk the earth. However, with time, he became attuned to the mystical forces around him, and now stands on the side of the angels - or, at least, on the side of the monsters.

Looks good. I kind of think that Mystical Senses should be limited to opponents figures with the Magical Defense special power. It just doesn't seem "mystical" if the figure is on his own team.

[Karat]

Oops. I thought I had that in there. I'll add that after the 48 hr breather.

[TrollBrute]

Looks good to me. What do you think about decreasing his Move to 4? I think it would make him feel like a slow, lumbering monster, which just screams classic horror to me. With the range where it's at on Prehensile Bandages, he'll be just fine getting into battle even with 4 Move.

I like that.

[johnny139]

4 Move makes sense to me - he's a definite lumberer. Beyond that, no problem, naturally.

[Lord Pyre]

I like 4 move, especially with all the undead synergies, he's not going to have problems moving around.

Otherwise great design.

[Karat]

Yeah, I like 4 move here as well. It was an oversight when I copied it over from what Blink originally had for stats as, for the most part, I liked where she had them.

[Karat]

SP Updated, and unless there is something else by tonight, I'll propose we move him out to the CRB guys.

[Viegon]

I like the switch to 4 move, but with that change I think Prehensile Bandages should be changed to after moving and before attacking. If he has to not move to use it, he'll struggle way too much against any opponent with 5+ range.
