REAL Black Flail!
« on: February 06, 2009, 12:54:54 AM »
Hi guys, I just wanna tell you a story.

I went, like all of us did, I think ;) in december 2003 to the cinema with friends to finally see the ''return of the King''.
I was really pleased to see how they created the Witch-King. No one could have made that better and then this really.....ahh ....genius and astonishing scene, the fight with eowyn. In that moment I thought. YES....an new incredible weapon for the witchi.....and there was this nearly perfect scene, that could be perfectly used as a picture for an LOTR card, when he steps off the dead fell beast and the audience sees his mighty weapon. I think you all know this scene...

AND WHAT HAVE THEY DONE at decipher??? They took the worst picture you can take to describe this weapon.....in that weapon stock thing.....you cannot really see it, also....incredible.....

Now I had the idea, I did this many times before, to exchange the pictures of cards on the pc with an good programm and create an new REAL Flail....with better abilities and an damage bonus.

I wanted to ask you guys to make it an balanced weapon with something around twilight cost three and an damage bonus...(Hmm great dangerous weapon, YES AN DAMAGE BONUS WOULD BE REALISTIC)

Further ideas are welcome and needed! And the exact text I wanted to create in an open discussion. Please help me with my vision of an real flail. Thanks Guys!

[2]Black Flail [Wraith]
Possession • Hand Weapon
Str: +3
Bearer must be a Nazgûl. If bearer is The Witch-King, he is damage +1.
Skirmish: Exert bearer to wound a character bearer is skirmishing. The Free Peoples player may add a burden to prevent this.
"With a cry of hatred that stung the very ears like venom he let fall..."

How's that for 5 minutes?

almost perfect! hmm....the special ability is good, but I would prefer to make it a ability only for the witch-king to show, that this is really his weapon. Great idea. Thanks!

[2]Black Flail [Wraith]

Str: +2
Bearer must be The Witch-King. If he is mounted, he is damage+2, strength+2 and each time he is about to take a wound, you may discard a mount borne by him to prevent that wound.

Strength +3
Bearer must be The Witch-king. He is damage +1.
Each time The Witch-king wins a skirmish, you may exert him to exert an unbound companion (and add 2 burdens if that companion is exhausted). The Free Peoples player may add 3 threats to prevent this.

Bearer must be The Witch-king.
He is damage +1.
At the start of each skirmish involving bearer, each player reveals (and takes into hand) the top card of his or her draw deck. If the revealed Free Peoples player's card has the lowest twilight cost among all the revealed cards, kill a character bearer is skirmishing.
Bonk.


(Just kidding!)

Strength +3
Bearer must be a Nazgûl. Bearer is damage +1.
When you play this possesion, make the free peoples name a race.
Wound every companion that has a different race.
Skirmish: If bearer is The Witch-king, exert him twice to make him damage + 1 for each free peoples culture you spot over 2.


My opinions may have changed, but not the fact that i'm right...

[3]Black Flail (V) [Wraith]
Possession • Hand Weapon
Strength +3
Bearer must be The Witch-King. He is damage +2.
While the Witch-King is skirmishing a companion
with base strength of 6 or less that companion
loses all  keywords and may not gain keywords.
Regroup: Discard this possession to exhaust a companion.

 [3]Black Flail, Great Dangerous Weapon [Wraith]
Possession • Hand Weapon

While a character is skirmishing The Witch King, all possessions borne by that character lose their game text.
