Title: Lone ECs?
Post by: YourMathTeacher on April 09, 2009, 07:04:14 PM: I'm sure this has been mentioned at some time in the past, but why are there no heroes who are immune to lone ECs?

Othniel

6/6 Gold Brigade Hero

Immune to lone evil characters.

Judges 3:9,10 Identifier: Judge

or, if this is too direct, how about an indirect method:

Gibeonite Envoy

3/3 Brown Brigade EC

Immune to lone humans.

Joshua 9:3-6

Post by: YourMathTeacher on April 09, 2009, 08:09:20 PM: I see. But if you were immune, you could keep getting intiative to try to defeat the EC.

Post by: TimMierz on April 10, 2009, 01:36:46 PM: Something like Othniel would be nice against many of the "auto-win" standalone characters - Zimri, Otho, Egyptian Warden, etc. I'm all for it.

Better than that you can have a whole slew of characters enter battle with CBN immunity. Unfortunately for them, Mr. Giant de la Douze Finger can mess with them somehow despite all of that. ;)

Funny you should mention that... ;)

That was my initial purpose. I was hoping to have some effect against The Rabshakeh with 2K Horses, also.

I like the picture. Thanks! ;D

Sadly, the horses interrupt the battle, so without a CBI or CBN, it won't help much.

Ah yes. Oh well. It would still be fun for the other guys you mentioned.

Post by: Bryon on April 11, 2009, 10:38:34 AM: I like it, but I'd rather he keep is 4 strength, for the sake of Judge's Seat, and for a little more initiative. Maybe a 4/6? 4/8?

Great idea.
