Draich for Druchii warband
Posted: Tue Apr 28, 2009 7:58 am
For a long time, there were queries for executioner-type character. Currently, I am more or less happy with the way this warband works (just waiting for one campaign to finish), and I am considering one last addition - the Draich.
Aside of abovementioned requirements, one of big weaknesses of this warband is a lack of high strength attacks. While poisons do help (unless meeting undead), this T3 12-model warband is still completely outclassed when meeting dedicated close combat enemy, like beasts or posessed.
True, Druchii have GW available as a weapon choice, but there is the silly rule that GW always loses initiative, which completely negates its usability to an elf.
I have seen an Yvresse warband, which, in addition to elven two-handed sword, able to parry, also had a skill, effectively equivalent to Strongman. I remember that there was some opposition to introducing another skill (Fearsome equivalent) and the argument was, that strength skills are not for elves.
OK, so I have this idea
Draich, Druchii two-handed sword. Rare 8, price 20 - 30 gc.
Does not lose initiative, adds +2 S
Or, alternatively, does not lose initiative, adds +1 S and +2 to injury roll.
Or, as a power option, Rare 10, price about 40 - 50 gc, does not lose initiative, adds +2 S and +1 to injury roll.
Any opinions?
