Drucifer said:

But for what?

BTW Velhart, are You gonna to order these magazines? ;>

Nemomon said:

Yes, but i do not posses the German Language, so i have ask my old father to order them.

As soon we have order them, i will give a shout here

I was looking through the expert book, and saw that the jinn is a talisman character from games workshop.

It seems that the name is a bit related to Djinn?

The Jinn begins with spells..( and from the looks of the Djinn art, he looks like a genie..

Djinn=Jinn?

No, the one in Elliott's rules collection is one of his own making. It is not an official character.

These characters are of Mephisto's own design.

Mephisto's own design?

So it's not a promo at all !!

One word... FAKE

i can't believe this..( all the discussion for nothing..)

No, as Gonrhade mentioned previously from his contact with the magazine -

" The articles are with the Heidelberg Games and Fantasy Flight Games ".

Oke, i understand now.

The characters are mephisto's idea, and FFG officially made them

I will take my words back

I have good news !

My old father came back from Germany today, and has a copy of mephisto 46 !!

We have order the other two, so we get them soon !

He will begin with translating the characters and the page of that section in the book !

I will keep you all up to date !

Velhart said:

Very good news, Velhart! This is much appreciated.

Gelmaron said:

I think you can expect it tomorrow.

He has translate already a bit from it, but he has finish it probably tomorrow, because he has also a life of course..

how i said the charackters , could anyone here make, it is custom delux, if i have no minis for this ard it is custon made for me.

unlike the wd where gw made charakters and used warhammer minis for them that were offical. the problem on talisman is you can made custon for mins, and cards.

Mephisto have some artis who draw charakters like the 4th mix with knowlege of the game , the gave then story too.

but for copyright they contact hb and ffg to get the ok from them.

here to orginal answer

"vielen Dank für die schnelle Rückantwort.
Mephisto 47 ist für Dich vorgemerkt.

Was nun die anderen beiden Hefte angeht, das sind M45 und M46 (ebenfalls je 5,95 Euro).
Und ich kann ja nun wirklich nicht anders als zu behaupten, daß die Charaktere richtig gut sind, oder?!

Sagen wir mal so.
Die Beiträge sind mit Heidelberger Spiele und Fantasy Flight Games in USA offiziell abgestimmt, und der FFG Talisman Entwickler hat uns für die Umsetzung und auch die grafische Gestaltung explizit gelobt. Und das soll schon was heißen! Hoffe ich zumindest.
Es sind jeweils 4 Charaktere pro Heft, die in den Heften nach "Gesinnung" gruppiert sind (gut, böse, neutral)."

I look forward to seeing translations of the characters. For those of us not using miniatures, making cardboard standees is easy.

gonrhade said:

It don't matter if Mephisto has created the characters.

FFG has declare those characters official, so that's enough proof for us..

-

Translated: (The articles with the Heidelberg Games and Fantasy Flight Games officially voted in the U.S., and the FFG Talisman developer has explicitly promised us for the implementation and graphic design. And it should have read something! At least I hope. They are each 4 characters grouped by subject into folders for "disposition") are (good, bad, neutral. ")
-

Official or not... we'd still expect to see what they're like... right? right!

Indeed

Update nr 1 !

Exorcist
Strength: 2, Craft: 4, Life: 4, Gold: , Fate: 4, Alignmnent: Good
Start: City

Abilities:

- You start the game with one Spell.
- If you attack another Character, you may choose Psychic Combat. You
can not do this, if you are attacked by another Character.
- If you have conquered a Spirit, you get a Spell, if your Craft permits it.
- If you are attacked by a Spirit, you don’t have to fight, but instead you
can exorcise it. The Spirit is destroyed automatically. However you can not
keep exorcisted Spirits as a Trophy and also you don’t get a Spell.
- You can destroy (discard) objects, which are forbidden for good Characters,
when they come into your possession. If you destroy a Object in this way, you
get a Spell, if your Craft permits it.

Thanks Velhart

Exorcist's fourth ability sounds funny, it won't be used a lot of times, but sounds funny

Nemomon said:

Do you mean the exorcise ability or the (discard object ability?)

I have the feeling you mean the last one..? ( discarding forbidden objects sounds fun to me and it's a rare ability

The Exorcist has a very good balance in my eyes

PS: It reminds me about the priest with the cross skill, but with a little change that the exorcist don't get a spell if he defeats them automatic.

My mistake , of course the ability of discarding Objects. It is a little balanced, however considering the fact of max 3 Spells (and due to original Rules, he cannot take a new one, then discard useless one), he start the game with 1 and killing two Spirits is not a problem at all, he might not use his skills a lot of times. Also for destroying "evil" objects, he should have another kind of prizes - he don't need to have two spellgaining abilities. Giving +1 to stats, or even +1 to fate could be better, especially considering the fact how many there is "evil" objects in the game..

Nemomon said:

It's no problem for me. You can see it as a extra fun ability. How about it if you draw the runesword. it's fun that you can discard it, so that no one else can take it, and you get a spell as a present

Anyway, the ability that you get a spell for killing(conquered)a spirit is powerful enough

On top of that, he has the psychic attack ability too ! awesome !

I check the Evil only objects, and fact, maybe except of Sould Drinker, there is some objects to destroy. Funny will be, when Exorcist will become Evil, then he will destroy the Objects

Nemomon said:

well, if the Exorcist is evil, then it will be unwise to destroy evil objects, because you can use it yourself at that moment, unless you really want a spell of course, or get rid of the object..

like "satan, all the good staff is gone" maybe he could destroy holly objekts and holly lifeforms

btw if your friend gives you all what is the text about? it is two pages long.
