High Elf Power Character

#1 Post by Faroth »

I'm well aware of the fact that the "evil" armies can make some donwright beastly characters, strong in either combat or magic. ...or both. I like to think of the worst offenders as the Axis of Evil, or Triad, or Big Three, or whatever; Chaos Mortals, Vampire Counts, and Dark Elves.

Can High Elves field any nasty characters? I know we have the envy of every caster our there, but he's a "Special Character." So, am I totally off my rocker or are we capable of creating such monsters?

Not especially.

Best bet is the White Sword and Talisman of Loec. That way, you're pretty much guaranteed to get a killing blow. One hit wonder though.

High Elf characters are meant to be used for support rather than killing things.

Star Dragon, of course - what you give the Prince is based on what you plan on him doing.

And in this case your opponent will cause an upset some of the time at least with some sort of item/ability that negates it or makes the target immune.
