new big guy

Post by KLK »

because lack of money, I can`t order a new ogre, but I find a good figure to create a new big guy: an Owlbear (wizards of the coast 2000)

the figure is good, with no weapons and dreadful face.

the question is about the numbers and skills.

let me know your opinion about this options:

Owlbear 6/5/2/9 wild animal, frenzy, TTM 120K
Owlbear 6/5/1/9 bone head, TTM, Claws 110K
Owlbear 5/5/2/9 really stupid, TTM, claws, sure feet. 120K

of course, if you have another idea, let me know.
this guy will play for an orc team, altought this is not absolutely sure.

As a simple suggestion I would just give it Troll stats and put it in the team. Saves on arguing with your fellow players and worrying about balance.

1) seems nice, though 10k undercosted... Mino with +1 Move and +1AV only lose horns and MB.
2) is WAY overpowered. Same stats as 1) with BoneHead (a weaker negatrait) AND claws...
same goes with 3)

go with 1. i don't think it's undercosted because mino is now overpriced due to new wild animal.

I'd go #1, but lose the TTM.

I'd go with 1, but add Always Hungry, mostly for fluff.

btw... Orc's can't get orges anymore.

A big'un with claws would be WAY dangerous and hard to balance. That said it works better fluff-wise for an owlbear so:
Loose TTM and sure feet from (3) reduce the armor to 8 and drop agility to 1
Owlbear 5/5/1/8 really stupid, claws. 120K
This may be balanced?
