First of all, these abilities that are divided into three groups. Activated abilities are the ones that you choose to activate (well, in the current game it is deactivate or it is on but...), Triggered Abilities which are te ones that go off when another thing happens, and Static abilities which just happen. Note that it really gets messed up in some areas. Like Static abilities are the ones that are not optional or really do not change the figure dramatically if it is on. And technically, all abilities are triggered but this just includes the ones who are directly triggered by something.

Static Abilities
-Quickness
-Aqautic
-Stealth
-Forced March
-Starting Position (=P)
-Beserk
-Magic Enhancement
-Battle Fury
-Demoralized
-Battle Armor
-Magic Immunity
-Toughness
-Invulnerability
-Lmited Invisibility

Activated Abilities
-Charge

-Flight
-Bound
-Nimble
-Necromancy
-Command
-Pierce
-Magic Freeze
-Magic Confusion
-Healing
-Weapon Master
-Magic Blast

-Shockwave
-Magic Healing
-Sneak Attack
-Sweep
-Defend
-Regeneration

Triggered abilities
-Ram
-Vamparism
-Venom
-Pole Arm
-Dodge
-Magic Retaliation


Magic Quickness - Speed Ability
This warrior is not effected by and can't cause any Triggered abilities.

Magic Shield - Defense Ability
This warrior cannot be the target of an Activated Ability. it cannot recieve any benefits or losses from Activated Abilities

Magic Pierce - Attack Ability
When this warrior makes an succesful attack, the figure who was the target of the atatck does not recieve any benefits or losses from its Static Abilities on its next turn.

err.. are those not too strong?

I mean with Magic Quickness, you nullify the use of
-Ram
-Vamparism
-Venom
-Pole Arm
-Dodge
-Magic Retaliation

that alone means that a lot of figs will be rendered useless by this capability.

maybe you should rethink it

That and the fact you can nulify charge and bound with another one of those.

And it adds to much complication

Hey, I didn't say they would be cheap!

And they just can't be the target of charge or bound, any other piece could charge or bound others.

With these SA, we will need to use books to play Mage Knight, and i think, just the dial base information is nice for me...

well even if not cheap.. it can be hard to kill. I mean what if a fig had all those SA?

[ag] NEW SPECIAL ABILITIES[ag]




Absorb - defense special ability
all damage dealt to friendly figures in base contact with this warrior are instead dealt to this warrior.

bounce - attack special ability
if this warrior makes a successful attack, roll 1d6 on a roll of 4,5,6 the attack also hits other opposing figures in base contact with the target taking as many damage as the target

bluff - speed special ability
you can only use this ability on your opponents turn.
before your opponents first action roll 2d6, move this warrior in any direction (in inches) equal to the result.
this figure does take pushing damage for using this ability


now thats what i call a balanced special abilities

I don't really think that this is a good idea because you cant expect people to remember what ability is in what list. Even though you and I might find it obious what group it is in, there will always be that person calling over the warlord to see if ram is stopped by magic quickness.

I don't think that Wizkids is planning on releasing any new abilities for a while, but instead will make double abilities in one stat, (like how the starting click has another ability in it) so someone could have magic blast and magic healing.

1. Thundercrash, you do not decide what is balanced and whatnot

2. I made that first specil ability..if you didn't just copy from me then you made it in paralell. Creepy
