New Character: Pirate

By Jofus, in Talisman Home Brews

Me and several friend have been "working" on an expansion for our regular games. Everyone has there characters figured out but me.

I was thinking of doing a pirate, but i dont want a typical pirate, Here are some of my thoughts,

A 1 legged Pirate

Strength: 3

Craft: 2

Lives: 4

Fate: 2

Alignment: Neutral

-1 to movement roll because of his missing leg

+1 to craft when in (near) water

Thats where i draw a blank

I like Darthmax's Plunder ability he created for his pirate " plunder - land on character. roll one die. 1 = lose a life. 2 = plunder 1 gold. 3 - 6 = plunder all gold. you may only plunder when in a space that touched the river "

Is my pirate a punk with just these two abilities?

Don't quite understand the "+1" near water. That would include all of the Middle and Outer Regions but not the Inner.

i like the one legged deal, kind of good and bad. cant go 6 spaces, but have a better chance of rolling a 1 . if it were me, id probably add something to him. he isnt overpowered in my opinion. theres quite a few peeps here with a lot of great ideas to help you.

im thinking about making a small expansion also.i started a thread ,but i was signed in accidentally to my buddies acct, fasteddy. i want to introduce the ability of "initiating psychic combat when you attack", into the game via a few objects , 1 or 2 spells, and possibly a follower. all together maybe 20 cards max. i think it would be neat to have an object that lets you initiate psychic combat only when you are attacked buy another character in battle, a defensive version of the wizards / ghouls and others ability. how do you guys make your cards? i was thinking of getting the upgrade pack for $20 from 4th ed to rev 4 ed and using those to make my cards..

I am purely a Photoshop graphics hacker; I make or customize my own templates from scratch or by using PNG graphics Jon New made for us (find them at TalismanIsland.com). Other people use the Strange Eons card maker with Jon's "Talisman cards" plugins. You can find info on that program as well at Talisman Island.
