harlequins special character
« on: October 13, 2003, 03:03:26 PM »
perhaps harlequins could have a special character, and i have been thinking about this for years and ive not got many ideas, but i think an emperors champion style character (universal) rather than a fixed identity, would be good, so what do the harlequins have that could be used, well i read that the most powerful solitaires become the guardians of the black library? well more powerful solitaires? would have to be a special character and only usable with a point limit, i also suggest having one of these replacing the ordinary solitaire in an army.
i mean theres not much else that could be a character, they probably dont need one but for those few who are interrested its just my take on the matter

I really like that attack except instead of having 4 attacks it has 6 attacks.... Also armor.... 4+ dodge save should suffice.... Also ST: 4, T: 3 still..... weaponskill and initiative good.... except maybe a special rule where you always strike first.... how do you like that?

Im sure someone is bound to mention actually being able to combine a Kiss and powerblades.

If you were to make it a specific ancient artefact, like the Wailing Doom, then I could maybe see being able to do so.

Looking forward to seeing the first draft of this guy, LBRH.

Things like home-grown Special Characters tend to become hugely imbalanced or overly expensive. I would rather see a Special Character Great Harlequin with only a minor stat-tweak and some neat non-combat rules, like the ability to redeploy a unit once everyone is done placing units, or such. It would be better than to simply add that which the Harlequins allready excell at.

Lost Roads - finally released!
