Hi Uvatha,

Right this post will be updated as I update the charactrers but for starters here is some changes:

Beast Charmer (sorry the amount of leg on show hasn't changed ):

1st Ability now reads like this - "During your movement, you must move all animals from your current starting space, including those that you pass over, to the space you end your movement on."

Camel Rider :

After play testing the Camel Rider once, I agree that his Craft should be 3 so this has been changed. I have gone ahead and changed fate to 3 as well, will play test the new Camel Rider and see how he fares. Amendments to the wording has also been updated

Cavalier :

Since there was alot of changing involved I have created an alternative version for you Uvatha I will play test both and report back as to what I think of the two versions. I do however, feel that the new update reads clearer and is perhaps a little more powerful (which I think could be a good thing!) Here it is :

Crime Lord :

I have edited the City Watch ability to include Night Guard also.

I have changed the evade ability to be a litle less powerful. It now reads "You may evade enemies in the City at the cost of 1 gold."

Madcap :

I have changed the Madcap to include the wording Annoy . Other than that the Madcap is all good

Death Seeker : Waiting for Strange Eons v3 and hoping that two symbols can be selected for Required Expansions

Earth Mother : Sorry but I loved playing with this character, try it you might like it

Fate Master : Sorted out the wording for the 1st ability. Now reads replenish instead of heal. Have slightly reworded 2nd ability but have kept it. 3rd ablity has been removed (steal a fate from player after winning in battle ability).

Imp : Ok I like the idea of the teleport ability not working so have changed a die roll of 1 or 2 causing no teleporting effect and the batte commencing as usual. Other than that I have left him alone as the roll a 6 teleport ability worked really well for the character during a play test. But I agree also from this playtest that the potential for the teleporting ability to backfire would make strategic attacks upon the Imp possible

Ritual Master : I have reworded replenish to Heal

Zombie : Well if people want to play with this character then they can

....

Like the Dread Knight, this Cavalier is a nice character. Balanced abilities, good stats. He is a middle to strong.

Heres my take on the Old Crone (named just Crone) and the Madcap.

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ystd7y1tcd2grdd/AADSDG0rZrhNcNl0y6A03S1Fa?dl=0

I like the wording of the Madcap. Annoy is a good way of explaining his ability to chage alignment

So the Crone would end up being a Toad for longer than other players? Does that sit well with the theme of the character? I thought that she might be immune to toad threats? Still a good take on it buddy

Oh I know it is only a petty thing but on your dropbox you have labelled the characters jackyboys, I take no real credit for the characters as I merely take others ideas and put them through Strange Eons. On each character I have titled it with the original owner

Saying the Crone is turned into a toad for Rounds not turns means that it might be shorter not longer at mo turns you miss (unless you missed the rest of your turn) do not count as turns for being a toad thus if the Crone can miss turns she can become normal sooner. Got the idea from the same debate in the rules forum it was just a idea.

Oh is that the name after each character, I didn't know I thought you came up with them yourself.

Oh I see, I think I am a bit confused. It would be nice for the Crone to transform back into human form quicker than others if she is turned into a Toad. So a round is one turn for each player right? or is it something different?

Yes the name after each character is the forum name of the original authors I just make the cards...and sometimes edit them a little just coz I can!

basically a round is when all players currently in game have a turn, but of course if players miss turns this counts as well play only has to go from the first players turn to then first players turn (or the player after if he misses) a round can happen if all player miss a turn (unlikely but possible) because a round is not restricted to players turn per say but instead is when all players have gone through a circle of turns (or unturns hehehe).

So basically it is possible the Crone (my version) can become normal again faster. I found giving her the Toadify effect was a bit nasty giving now the spell is treated in standard play.

Crone:

Uvatha your version is a lot less fun imo, and not as interesting. just a craft+psychic char w a fate generator. I'd change the name at least for your version, not much of a crone anymore.

toadify is a doubleedged sword in this version, as likely to harm her as her opponent.

i like her a lot more w the ability than psychic combat it's part of what sets her apart and makes her interesting. I'd prefer to have it be 4+ to make it something worth betting on rather than a merely defensive ability/hail mary. If you think it's too strong reduce her craft to 3 and strength to 1. if you still think it's too strong make it

1 toadify herself, 2-3 no effect 4-6 opponent strength becomes 1, but I dont think she needs THAT much nerfing

For the flavor the fate she gets should be dark, it's also a big part of how she affects the game in a different way.

New character:

Black knight

strength: 5

craft: 3

Fate: 0

Life:1

start: sentinel

alignment: neutral

If you would lose your last life roll a die if the roll is 2 or more you don't lose life. This ability and roll cannot be affected by anything unless you choose to allow it.

If a character would move past you, that character must attack you in either battle or combat, or end his turn on your space. If he wins he must choose to take a life as a reward (cannot take object or gold), or to continue his move

Hi Uvatha,

I do however, feel that the new update reads clearer and is perhaps a little more powerful (which I think could be a good thing!) Here it is :

Crime Lord :

I have changed the evade ability to be a litle less powerful. It now reads "You may evade enemies in the City at the cost of 1 gold."

Madcap :

I have changed the Madcap to include the wording Annoy . Other than that the Madcap is all good

Death Seeker : Waiting for Strange Eons v3 and hoping that two symbols can be selected for Required Expansions

Earth Mother : Sorry but I loved playing with this character, try it you might like it

Fate Master : Sorted out the wording for the 1st ability. Now reads replenish instead of heal. Have slightly reworded 2nd ability but have kept it. 3rd ablity has been removed (steal a fate from player after winning in battle ability).

....

I think I approve of all the changes made to my character designs. I actually debated the evade for 1 gold in my original design of the Crime Lord - so I like it.

However, with the Cavalier, I feel like the spirit of the character has been edited away with the maiden changes and that the free warhorse has made him a bit too powerful - personally, I prefer the original flavour still.

What about this:

• You begin the game with a shield and warhorse.

• A shield will protect you on a roll of 4+

• At the beginning of the game, place the maiden from the adventure deck on the torture chamber space in the dungeon. If you bring the maiden to the castle, you may discard her to replenish your fate to full and gain a destiny card.

• Heal up to 2 lives at the castle for free per visit.

I'd also increase his Craft to 3 with these changes.

A few good things come out of these changes:

1. The abilities are more simple and to the point (less of them as well)
2. It creates a quest for the Cavalier. The dungeon is a tough place, so it will be a hard go just to b-line it to the torture chamber at the start.
3. The Cavalier does not start with the Maiden (lessening his starting power, but for a higher game-play reward)
4. It gives his opponents opportunity to race for the maiden and deny the cavalier his spoils
5. It mixes 2 expansions (dungeon and woodlands) - something I'd love to see more of
6. It keeps the flavour that was originally intended (Valiant Cavalier helping the damsel in distress for moral reward)

Chemical22 I am glad you approve of the changes I like the new idea for the Cavalier too. One thing that crops up when I read your latest Cavalier would be would the Cavalier want to sacrifise the +2Craft that the Maiden gives to gain his reward? Could it perhaps be the Princess that is held captive in the Torture Chamber? Otherwise I LOVE the new idea

Rawsugar - I have to agree with you regarding the Old Crone, I like the dark fate ability and how this works with the theme of the character; as does the Toadify ability I am liking the Black Knight character too; I am sure I have seen a homebrew character for the Black Knight someone on this forum

I found this character that someone made years ago; had a little look for good pictures for the Black Knight character card and found this too https://community.fantasyflightgames.com/topic/18114-new-character-goblin-fanatic/

Kain7th - A nice list you have there buddy, I am sure there are more characters that haven't seen the light of day yet from 2nd or 3rd edition. The Centaur is one character that springs to mind...unless of course he has been made officially and I have missed out! I will however, make up a couple of the characters you've listed

That is possible too. I DID think about the sacrifice of the Craft - but I balanced it out by the full replenish of fate, and the destiny card which I believe will offer more than enough compensation (most, if not all, give +1 in 2 stats plus a bonus ability). Keeping in mind, also that the maiden can be killed, stolen and discarded - while the destiny is permanent, even if your character dies.

However, if the general feel is that it needs more incentive - then the princess could work both for game play and flavour.

Wow thanks for that.

I just made the Soldier. What do you guys think?

I just made the Soldier. What do you guys think?

Woooo way to nasty. Plus it needs The City icon because you have added the jail space ability thus you need The City to use him. Should have the 1st ability but then a bad ability if he loses his items say "you cant repeal fate" thats a good idea because soldiers need their weapons armour . With the 3rd ability that's more of a watchman ability not a soldiers ability. I think go like: 1st ability - 2nd the bad armour, weapon one - drop 3rd - make 4th you can buy helmet-sword-armour for -1 gold from city space - keep 4th... there with some playtesting looks good.

Thanks for the feedback, i just started using the strange eons. i don't know how to put the city icon on there. do you?

Here's the Sheriff i just made

Kain7th

I really like the artwork you have used for the characters, I think it is time for the rest of the old official characters to make an emergence

When exporting the characterc card in strange eons if you look at the options you will notice that you can select it to not have the front and back together; I find this alot better for printing I am out of the house at the moment but when I get home i'll knock another couple of characters up. I will go through my 2nd and 3rd editions to try and make sure all are accounted for

As for adding the City expansion icon, it is easy said than done with the current v :ersion of strange eons. The city came out after the current talisman plugin but Jon is working on the new version as we speak If you really want to add the city icon you need to open the talisman plugin in winrar and change one of the current icons for expansions to the city icon.

I couldn't figure out how to do this. but here are all the rest. Took me a couple hours to do. hardest part is finding the right picture lol.

When you Export your Image from SE2 there is a window that pops up with File Formats etc. At the bottom of this there is a checkbox to combine fronts and backs. Uncheck it.

I just saw it under custom options tab. I will do it later, maybe after work

**** you've been busy Kain7th!!!!

haha I just made you a Beastman with the EXACT same artwork! (only thing I added was the "You are not affected by the Siren" ability)

These all look excellent, you must have spent the afternoon at the computer. I would be really interested in grabbing the eon files off you for these as I would like to print them off (fronts and backs seperate) although I have read that you know how to change this now. Either way if you have a link to download the lot in one place that would be great

I think once ALL old official characters are made then it would be a great addition to TalismanIsland hey Jon? nudge nudge wink wink ;) :lol:

Geeez stop making characters my heads exploding reading through them all hehehe.

There we go. i uploaded them all without the backs. i also changed the Soldier a little.

I just figure, why not have all the characters from previous editions in this one? let's have em all!
