W1 Saar Whisper Scout - Released

I meant to leave the unengaged part in but missed typing it. I like the aid to Deadeye. You can't modify a special attack so I don't think you need normal attack, Taelords card says get "+1 to attack", Concans says "roll an additional dice", Finns says "add 1 die to their normal attack", Khosumets says "receives an additional attack die".


All friendly Scout figures that attack a non-adjacent figure within 6 clear sight spaces of an Unengaged Whisper Scout roll 1 additional attack die. All friendly Sniper figures that choose a figure within 6 clear sight spaces of an unengaged Whisper Scout for a special power may add 1 to their 20-sided die roll.

or if the normal part has to be there

All friendly Scout figures that attack a non-adjacent figure within 6 clear sight spaces of an Unengaged Whisper Scout add 1 die to their normal attack. All friendly Sniper figures that choose a figure within 6 clear sight spaces of an unengaged Whisper Scout for a special power may add 1 to their 20-sided die roll.

I don't think we need to specify "you control" on the Whisper Scout as you can't gain bonuses from enemy cards, the card says friendly on it already.

Are we ready to release this figure or do we need to work on the wording some more?

If you could update with this language that Derek suggested then I think we can release:

All friendly Scout figures that attack a non-adjacent figure within 6 clear sight spaces of an Unengaged Whisper Scout roll 1 additional attack die. All friendly Sniper figures that choose a figure within 6 clear sight spaces of an unengaged Whisper Scout for a special power may add 1 to their 20-sided die roll.

How does this look?

looks good with a quick perusal.

Awesome, looks good!!!

The Saar Whisper Scout has been posted on our thread at Heroscapers.

Can we change the title to Released? Thanks

When I printed out Whisper Scout's card, I noticed that he seemed to get lost in the dark background. I have lightened the background and adjust the brightness/contrast on the Scout himself. Let me know if you think this is an improvement or not. Yes, you can see a faint border on where I adjusted the background . . . if it passes approval, I will fix that issue by detailing the lighter layer better. Torver and maybe the Shadow Slayers will get the same treatment.

Looks great!

Thanks. Much better in my opinion. I fixed the line issue and went ahead and reloaded the PDF download on Heroscapers.

Now - do I care enough to reprint my card?

Probably. What's a little ink and a sheet of printer paper?

Character Bio:
The Saar are a race of feline humanoids from the planet Na’Borra that have evolved with uncanny mental abilities. The Saar have developed powerful empathic senses that allowed them to attune to the wildlife and plant-life of their homeland.

Throughout their history, the Saar homeworld has been attacked by more technologically advanced species. However the intense psychic connection of the Saar to each other and their native habitat, and their nature strength and fighting prowess, has allowed to defeat these invaders. The Saar have adapted what technology has remained and have found that their psychic abilities allow them to intuitively learn even from machines and devices.

In recent times, an advanced team of Saar rangers came under attack when scouting out a new enemy force. The felines were quickly overrun by Soulborgs and the strange hybrid of “man-and-machine” played haywire with the Saar’s empathy. As the valiant defenders tried to pull the wounded to safety, they were pulled across space and time to Valhalla by Aquilla.

The Arch-Kyrie General tended to the wounded and found a common bond with the people of Na’bora. The Saar learned of the great battle raging on Valhalla and that the villainous generals were targeting their world as well.

The first to join Aquilla’s army were the “Whisper Scouts,” so named by the Mohican River Tribe, because the Saar are both incredibly stealthy but also, they do not speak - only "whispering into the minds" of their allies. These silent warriors are a highly skilled scouts and marksmen. Their rifles have advanced optical sights and fire a deadly pulse of energy plasma that produces little sound or muzzle flash. The Whisper Scouts are best when coordinating in groups and they have adapted their telepathic abilities to send images and messages to their allies on the battlefield. This allows them to assist other marksmen to coordinate attacks on enemy positions and to relay vulnerabilities in defenses.

Kai, if you want to update the OP, you can copy the previous post. Thanks.

Kai mentioned at our last game day that this figure's points should be bumped from 55 to 80. I am in full agreement, even though I don't like changing stuff we have created. What do you all think? I want to make sure we are all on board with this change before making it.

I'd say that Huskies16 has abused us with Whisper Scouts for enough time that a little bump wouldn't be a bad thing. I don't know if 80 points is right but they do add +1 attack which has a high value in 'Scape. How about 70 points? This way can decide between a Scout or a Squad of Mohicans?

I have changed the points to 70 on Heroscapers and uploaded a new card. I still think he is mighty strong for 70 points, but that is a good price as a decision point for Mohicans or Teeth of the Makwa.
