Re: The Book of The Deepwyrm Drow
Nukatha, I just erased a post about how I wholeheartedly agreed with you.
Here's the problem I just noticed: Poison Weapons, while it does add damage to the attack, is not a normal attack. It is a Special Ability, using the d20, so I'm not sure it is subject to OSD, which specifically says "the most damage Migol may take from this attack is 1." Poison Weapons is not part of the attack. Not sure about this one. Ruling from on-high, please? |

Re: The Book of The Deepwyrm Drow
I'm with Spite on this one. I think that because the ability triggers after you've placed one wound (hence after attack and defense have both been rolled and the attack is now over), OSD does not apply to it. I think that Migol takes both wounds.

Re: The Book of The Deepwyrm Drow
Guys, I believe this question was already answered in the Book of Sujoah.

Re: The Book of The Deepwyrm Drow
So, max damage is 1 regardless.
Due to the Drow's lack of an auto-kill ability, the poison is useless unless Crixus/Migol rolls no shields. Quote:

Perhaps, but only two characters have OSD.

Re: The Book of The Deepwyrm Drow
Yeah. Dipping these blades into Tandros will be quite effective, and I am sure that Raelin and other heros like Laglor and Ornak will be fearing the sting of these spider elves. With careful placement, these drow can quickly overcome most enemies. They will even be good counters to rats if Pelloth is drafted with them, which I would almost consider a must. I just think we need a 3 member ranged drow squad for 60 pts. and we will have a good army. Especially if they have their classic sleeping poison, which could drain figures OM's right off the card. That would be awesome.

These Drow, at first glance, seem to be best suited as counter drafts to the really annoying high defense units (especially Heroes because of Poison Blade), not as a counter to rats. |

Re: The Book of The Deepwyrm Drow
Here's the problem with the Sujoah comparison:
Sujoah's Poison Sting is a Special Attack. Migol rolls Defense and OSD activates. The Drow's Poison Weapons is a d20 Special Ability. Migol's Defense roll has already resolved (including OSD). The Drow's ability is not an Attack, even though it has the effect of adding another wound. OSD does not apply. I still think Migol can be hit twice by the Drow. EDIT: Posted the question in the "Ask the Design Team" thread. Let's just cut the chatter until we get an answer. Last edited by spiteofthedice; December 19th, 2009 at 07:20 PM. |

Re: The Book of The Deepwyrm Drow
I guess you have to be rather lucky on your rolls to detonate equal points in rats. They will be effective against minions and sentinels though, which is a little bit of a helper. If I had to rate them, I see them as B- units.
