Three Seamus Changes... Please?

[Pierowmaniac]

Id be happy with cache 4

Live for pain lossing its gun

And rewording necrotic ministrations to work when any model dies.

I agree with this and Dorians suggestion that the scheme needs changing, so you don't have to take CCK.

No need for the gun to be fired twice or any other increase to CB etc. If his terror got higher or spells gained anathema then there would be no need for the Avatar, so I don't see any reason to change them either.

The avatar turns him into a more damaging force. It also gives him innate anathema and everything else terrifying or a bonus to it. I don't think his terrifying needs to be higher but the anathema on the spell would make it much more useful.

I think he's fine the way he is.

I think he's fine the way he is.

He is ok as he is, but he is behind the curve of most tourney worthy Masters. He may be able to to do "things" but that doesn't make it effective. I'm not thinking that Wyrd is doing Power Creep on purpose. It seems that with the growth of the game the new models "flow" better than the old models.

I'm sure that when the next edition of Malifaux is written, we will see changes to old models. This is just an exercise in Mali Theory, at least that is how I see it.

Absolutely not, You now mandate that Seamus' crew include a belle. While most of times you will, it should not be FORCED on the person. Also this scheme is 100% completable with or without seamus.

Gee, don't hold back, tell me how you really feel

How about "Score if you kill a model that is being affected by Undead Psychosis and a negative Willpower modifier"? Seamus can do that by himself or take one of several models that can inflict a -Wp to make it easier. Either way, he is still necessary to get the points.

Exactly. It reminds me that armchair rulemaking is a lot easier than the real thing.

That's cool.
What strategy do you think he is the best rezzer choice for?

I am not asking what you like to play him with, I am asking what strategy do you think that no other rezzer master is a better option for?

I'll give an example...

Nicodem is commonly thought of as the other "weak" rezzer master and I think that a very compelling argument can be made for him being perhaps our BEST choice for Shared Claim jump.

His ability to paralyze, drop Decay nukes(healing our troops, too) and replenish troops directly on the objective anytime one of ours OR theirs drops(Assuming theirs drop corpses), while remaining pretty darn safe make him arguably the best at the strat, IMO. It also helps mask one of his biggest weaknesses, which is his extreme slowness by taking place in the center of the board.

This is much better than your previous idea. Also I'm being tame here, you should have seen me ranting about some of the scheme things in the playtest forums, but you'll see those soon enough. The schemes I mean not my rants or anything that may or may not have affected them ;)

[Guy in Suit]

Lots of access to healing and the .50 cal make him decent at Contain Power. Dr. Mac has to Expose himself to get the kill and Kirai struggles to get the kill herself.

[Boscotopia]

Without relying on the Belles or any other Minion, I would rather see something that involves killing with the gun and/or the bag. He is Jack the Ripper with a hand cannon.........

I like this much better than your previous one. Also trust me I am being tame. I can get much worse ;)
