... we have the names, and we know one of them is a new SA. What do you suppose the other three abilities are?

Summon sounds very intriguing... be wild if you could bring a creature into your army that isn't allotted in whatever the size is. Of course, this is more a Dungeons SA, but something along those lines?

Curse--ranged Venom? :eek:

Frenzy would be some kind of increase in AV or damage ...

Any speculations?

Something tells me that come next wednesday, we'll know yet another of these elusive abilities.

Curse - Possibly be the "outwit" ability?

Frenzy - Has to help close combat, but what (multiple round attack, no push?)

Summon - Maybe it calls a fig back to you within 10" (sorta reverse Magic Lev)

Reverse Magic Levitation = the return of YOYO!!!

Curse=Outwit would be cool.

Another Frenzy thought.... If hit in close combat, then gets a counter attack?

IF there were to be a reverse levitation... it would have entirely different dynamics than the old school Magic Levitation we've all come to know and love. I think we are somewhat safe from Yoyo's... if anything, I think reverse levitation could come in handy for melee.

My guesses:
Frenzy: If there is 0 or 1 tokens on this figure you must give it an action this turn, if you don't this warrior is removed from play and considered killed.

- Its a drawback ability that makes a figure cheaper. He will eventually push himself to death in a frenzy of activity.


Curse: Any warrior in base contact with this warrior takes a click of damage at the beginning of your turn.

- Again its somewhat of a drawback. Its like venom, but will be much cheaper.

Summon: Brings some other figure into base with this one some how. like pulling an enemy from a distance or rescuing a friendly figure.

I hope summon bring other figs in base contact with you... and they put it on figures with polearm!

A couple of looney ideas I thought up... enjoy.

Frenzy: If this figure critically misses, throw your dice at your opponent until be begs for mercy. You win the game.

Curse: Your opponent must use the 'specail' MK dice included in this pack

Summon: put a 10/10 token into play. This token has Haste, First Strike, and Trample.

With DG being a Dungeons expansion, that would be redundant.

Like the reverse ML for Summon. That's more in line with the game. Yoyo, why not, eh?

Frenzy being a multiple-round attack? Works in Hero Clix! I'll bet that's it, but will it be like Hypersonic (reduce dam to 1, raise def, etc.) or Flurry (2 attacks). Probably the latter ...

Curse as Outwit is a good possibility. Dungeons and Clix are so much alike that I'd think the SAs will come from there--plus they've already been playtested to a certain extent.

Yes, we'll know more by next Wed, but it's so faaaaaa-faaar away!

I'm reminded of Diablo 2 when I think of the new curse SA, I think it will be like one of the skills from the necromancer's curses list. Maybe something that can weaken the damage or attack value on an opposing piece until the opponent uses magic healing on it or something. Or maybe it could make the cursed fig take a click whenever he hits an enemy.

Summon will almost certainly bring outside figs into the game, but probably limited to magespawn and cheap ones at that.

Frenzy, I think, will allow a figure to be pushed to attack in the same round it was already given an action. Or maybe it will be able to push unlimited turns in a row until it dies.

...regarding Curse, but also looking at SAs from Hero Clix. Outwit cancels an opponent's SA, which could be amazing in Rebellion or Dungeons.

Frenzy=Willpower! Similar to what virji is suggesting: you can take a second token action but not suffer push damage. (Why all this talk of "drawback" abilities?)


Corwin

Oooh... Somebody is very close to being right on one of the abilities.

No, I'm not syaing who :)

Frenzy migth be as attack,attack action type.

We have move and attack actions (Bound, Charge)

Frenzy must be an attack and attack action.

You don't have to hide it... you know it was my frenzy suggestion. ^_^
