The New York City Gang Of Four

[Tornado]

Not dbl attack but two chances to wound and get a chance at auto destroy.
Not terrible but swingy and will drive up cost.

Well met!

"I suggest decreasing the range of his normal attack a little, and change the special attack to an ability that gives him a second attack if the first misses." ~ Scytale

Done and done. Added a Bio, and made him an Elf and Tricky. I think he's good, but at what Point cost?

Character Bio: Viereyl hails from the forest planet of Feylund. He is the twin brother of Syvarris, stolen at birth by a Drow mid-wife, and given to Estivara, the Drow Arachnomancer, to raise as her own, where he became the finest archer in Drow recorded history, before he left the Drow demesne. He poses a formidable threat to his foes, though he may be his own worst enemy as well. Estivara's parting gift to Viereyl was the enchanted bow, Bloodseeker, equipped with arrows dipped in Giant Spider venom. Yet for all of his mastery, Viereyl has an Achilles Heel: he must struggle against arrogance, recklessness, and a dangerous tendency to compromise his safety while showing off for his fellow warriors.

NAME = VIEREYL

SPECIES = ELF
UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO
CLASS = ARCHER
PERSONALITY = TRICKY

SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5

LIFE = 4

MOVE = 5
RANGE = 8
ATTACK = 3
DEFENSE = 2

POINTS = ???

Bloodseeker
If Viereyl misses with his normal attack, he may attack one additional time.

Poisoned Arrows
Each time Viereyl inflicts a wound, roll the 20-sided die. If you roll 1-9, the defending figure receives no additional wounds from Poisoned Arrows. If you roll 10-19, add one additional wound marker to the defending figure's card, and roll again for Poisoned Arrows. If you roll a 20, destroy the defending figure.

Cloud of Darkness
After taking a turn with Viereyl, you may roll the 20-sided die. If you roll a 16 or higher, while he remains on that space, Viereyl has no visible hit zones until you reveal an order marker.

[Drewman-chu]

Usually a highly statistical costing procedure he comes out as 120-130. If you don't want to stick classic scape cost, you could consider +,- 5 on those numbers. If I had to decide I would go with 120.

[chas]

What's the new name about? Any specific reference?

[kolakoski]

Well met!

Nut & bolts ready. Bio needs to be completely overhauled to fit canon, for SoV. Ready to playtest. Used Drow Name Generator to create name - means Black (Vier) Archer (eyl).

If Viereyl fails to inflict a wound with his normal attack, he may attack one additional time.

Note: He is no longer a Drow; he is an Elf (Species). He is also Tricky (Personality). Cloud of Darkness has been renamed Cloak of Darkness. Elements of a to be revised Bio:

Sylxidor, younger brother to Syvarris, was summoned with him to Valhalla. Tired of being constantly bested, and subsequently berated, by ever arrogant Syvarris, Sylxidor left the dwelling place of the Elves. He eventually hooked up with Estivara and lived with the Drow. [Originally Ullar, becoming Utgar?] He was renamed Viereyl (Black Archer). Estivara gave him an enchanted bow, Bloodseeker, and a Cloak of Darkness.He killed a Giant Spider, with the help of some companions, and extracted its venom for use with his arrows. Perhaps this last was the reason he left the Drow, to avoid Estivara's wrath? He is talented, but insecure. Loves/hates his brother, Syvarris, and the Elves.

Well met!

Thanks again to Dr. Goomonkey for Viereyl's Card:

Kolakoski,

After our experience with Drow Assassin, I personally won't be using any Public Playtest figures until after they are approved.

As for our own customs, the rest of us have always introduced some of our own in our own individual GM'd scenarios, and we've allowed it. Glad you're finally joining us in those experiments. I don't think its that much of a step from that to using them in any of our games, but the others may disagree.

Now that SD has shown me how to change the size of cards I print out, a small thing for him but a huge thing for me, maybe I'll do an all Drewmanchu Supers game some time. He's lately gone back to pumping out more obscure Marvel characters that are very interesting!

[chas]

Finally won a game of Rising Sun on my 14th try! I won with Turtle Clan, my old college mascot, after a decisive and desperate Battle of Kyoto, my favorite Japanese city! It was also during our very first Six Player game. And we gamed on a borrowed copy of the large player mat for another first. We'll be playing again next Saturday March 31.

The former was rejected by SoV, the latter are C3V - apples and oranges - but I feel your pain. I see that my request for a formal, fluid list of Gang customs has thus far fallen on deaf ears, but I'm glad that Viereyl is probably OK with everyone (chas and Taeblewalker, Sherman yet to be heard from).

[chas]

Sherman Davies will host our next game on Wednesday April 18. Taeblewalker will be unable to attend.
