Title: Chimera
Post by: Karadox on January 22, 2018, 03:40:42 PM
Unfortunately I didn't get any text on the card next to the 3 attacks ...

Chimera, can use all 3 attacks as an full action, on a single target (like Triplestrike).

Raise the level to at least 5 and the mana cost to at least 20. Otherwise it's OP

Don't agree. It can be killed pretty easily, it has no healing or defenses and mages trained in it do t have great healing.

I might have the full attack with all 3 attacks, roll 1 die less per attack. A 9 die-piercing two, 5+ rot, 7+ rot/bleed is a bit much. Making it 6 die makes sense to me.

^This works too. But I was also thinking that 2 armor 15 life with that 9 dice total attack was definitely too much for a 17 mana level 4 creature. Darkfenne Hydra is level 4 and costs 16 mana and has a 3 dice triplestrike attack with no effects, and only 1 armor instead of 2. It does have regen 2 though. So for only 1 more mana and 2 more spell points (if playing wizard), you're trading regen 2 for +1 armor, charge +2, piercing +1, and rot chance. Lowering the dice of the attack would be a viable solution, or increase the casting cost and level. One notes that enchanting it will make it even more survivable than it already is. While 2 armor and 15 life might not be enough for a high level high casting cost creature to stick around long enough to pay itself back, you can obviously still enchant it, or attack and destroy things that threaten it, which it seems designed to do at any rate. Cast eagle wings on it and it will be a beast.

Cool creature!

Would love to have "it" on my side :)

But i do agree a bit - seems cheap.

Chimera, can use up to all 3 attacks as an full action, on a single target (like Triple Strike).
When Chimera uses all 3 attacks as full action the Chimera gains melee -1.

You can also choose to use only 2 of the 3 attacks then without melee -1.
