The Book of Frankenstein

[IAmBatman]

In Zauriel's power, though, the blanks count as additional hits, not unblockable hits.

When attacking an adjacent figure with Zauriel's normal attack, each blank rolled counts as 1 additional skull. If the adjacent figure is a Demon, each blank rolled instead counts as 2 additional skulls.

Actually, why aren't we going that route here? I think we should, to be consistent, because it's the same sword.

[Hahma]

Now how can they both use the same sword at the same time?

[IAmBatman]

Time share?

Yeah, additional hits sounds better. Changing now.

[IAmBatman]

Yeah, no need for a limit with that version.

All things are possible with God. (Or his Angels, apparently.)

Any other comments? I'll do an initial when I get back next week.

Just checking in here and apparently I've missed a lot in the last few weeks. Good to see quozl is a Hero now and I'm really happy to see this design.

300-310 looks about right so far. Will do the other army test soon.

[IAmBatman]

Looks good so far! Impressive that he handled a figure with Healing Factor X in a one-on-one situation!

One request - please total the points of the opponent in each test, just so it's easier for us to see what he's comparing to. Most of those I know their points by heart, but it's still nice for easy reference.
