Post subject:  Ent Mage

Anyone want to help make a profile and background for a named Ent Mage? I know we'd be bastardising the work of Tolkine but the image of a 14ft tree man shooting lightning from his fingers is just too good to pass up. I was thinking something along the lines of:
F S D A W C | M W F
5/3+ 7 8 2 3 7 | 3 10* 2

Powers:
Renew: 3+
Nature's Wrath: 3+
Command: 3+

Special Rules:
Terror, Woodland Creature
Protector of the Forests: While *Ent Mage* is in a wooded area, he may use one free point of will per turn.

Anyone want to help out?

This kind of fits in the " I can't even" category, to be honest .

As a start he would have to cost sauron level points, and even then I still think it's undercosted, anybody with access to nature's wrath, you pay a premium ( which is why Thranduil is so highly ratedl), thus guy can 2 dice it 5 times! And he's a monster to boot.

Needs to be toned down quite abit to be reasonable in my opinion , 3 might, 10 will, 3 + to cast one of if not best spell in the game, on a monsters body, it really has no downsides.

In retrospect, I see what you mean about him being way too good without costing the points value of a small army. Here's my revised attempt:

Points: 170

F S D A W C | M W F
5/4+ 7 8 2 3 6 | 2 3* 1

Powers:
Renew: 4+
Natures Wrath: 5+

Special Rules:
Terror. Woodland Creature. Throw Stones. Break Stone.
Protector of the Forests*: While in woodland terrain, the ent mage can use one point of will without decreasing his own will store.

Is that any less "I Can't Even", Arthas? :rofl:
