sorry it  took me so long to reply but i was gaming from 6 to 12 today for another game anyway yes i like him so fare especially what you did with breath weapon.   i'm confused with the vast hyper dangerous aura. he is tough agains everything but fire. he is immune to cold.  and the random recovery is good but that sounds like a -2 at least and i think it should be called IceCold recovery. other than that all i have to say is well done i'm impressed. ill keep u posted if theres anything i want to addd o duh keep you posted its a message board wow sometimes the stupid things that come out of my mouth o well.

[Sanctaphrax]

Alright. Editing to include that.

So, how about skills?

What is King Blizzard meant to be good at, other than combat?

EDIT: Vast Hyper-Dangerous Aura acts like an environmental hazard. It makes an attack against Endurance with accuracy 6 and weapon rating 2 against everyone within three zones every turn. I gave it to King Blizzard so that people who aren't being attacked by him would still feel as though they are part of the fight.

[zaczane]

ok i understand now.  he's a good at leading people, just more as a tyrant than a monarchy even though his wife has lots of power. so he'd be really good at battle tactics and coordinating  attacks. other than that he's pretty average at the rest cause the frost family works like this

Grandfather Glacier-Mental attacks are his thing(he will f#@k up your ming easily)
King Blizzard- good at tactics and fighting in general(good fighter but he's a real cocky a@#hole)
Mother Sleet-good at social conflicts and fighting with evocation and thaugmatergy(she will pretend to be your friend even if you are her enemy and then com back and kill you when your not expecting it
Narrvanna(AKA Jack Frost)-he his the most balanced in the family. he love to send people on wild goose chases.  while he goes and does what he wants.(kind of like a supernatural version of the joker now that i think of it.  except his colors are light blue and white rather than green and purple like the joker.)
Barrakan (AKA Jack Frost's Brother)-only one who uses fire.(lets just say that he knows how to control hellfire, soulfire, regular fire along with other pyromancer magic)

[Sanctaphrax]

Thanks. That helps a lot.

Anyway, King Blizzard is done. I'm quite happy with him. I think he's got a real World of Warcraft-style "raid boss" feel to him. I haven't actually played WoW, though, so I could be completely off base.

what are the advantages of making his breathe weapon a weapons 4

[zaczane]

o i forgot to ask how the true aim would work in this situation, and physical immunities catch is not cold but the mythic toughness and supernatural recover's catch is fire right

[BumblingBear]

what are the advantages of making his breathe weapon a weapons 4

In layman's terms hit hits like a .50 bmg round instead of a 9mm round.

I really like this one.  For 7 refresh, this guy is pretty nasty.

[Sanctaphrax]

@BumblingBear: Thank you.

@zaczane: You are correct about the catches. Making Breath Weapon weapon 4 instead of weapon 2 means that each of his attacks with it inflict 2 additional stress. True Aim adds 1 to his Weapons skill as long as he remains true to his nature, and as a supernatural being with negative refresh he will always do that.

[zaczane]

gotcha for a minute there i thought it was a true believer/ knight of the cross type of thing but now o well.  i showed the finally copy of him to some of my fellow friends who aren't in my game. they told me to tell who ever made this that he's really f#$&ing powerful. then i said well you want to either be on his good side or go in guns uh blazing with lots and lots of back up. then i told them he would be a major mile stone if you were to fight him directly. then they all agreed that he is still powerful but then its not really a major milestone if its not a challenge. so they say thank you as well as i do

[Sanctaphrax]

Well, it's one of the abilities of the Swords Of The Cross. That's where it comes from. But I don't see why not to give it to non-Knight Of The Cross character.

Anyway, I'm glad to hear that the King's going over well. I hope to hear about how he works out in play.

Going to take a try at Barrakan next.

[Sanctaphrax]

I chose to reverse the catches on Barrakan, to reflect the distance between him and the rest of the family.
