If you manage to get yourself into a situation where drawing up on your next turn might kill you (such as if you are damaged on an off turn, or if you play a card to help someone on their turn), don't forget that other characters at your location can give you a card at the beginning of their turn. I rarely explore when he is alone at a location so that I am able to evade and push the bane to some poor sucker. I understand, in our gaming group we calculate the dice into the static score that a character has before hand, the one thing I will say is that he (Ranzak) picks up card quiet quickly and with a fighter character to back him up he does not have the to do the fighting. We're pretty big on min-maxing and auto-killing stuff before the rolls. He could be fun, but I don't think my gaming group would appreciate anyone playing such a character, because of the harm he can cause the party if his player decided to be an ass for a turn or two, and for the simple fact that you can't min-max him until he becomes a warmachine. So, yeah, he's obviously there to either shuttle through the location decks like a crackhead on speed, to dick with the other players, or to snatch stuff up like a, well, kleptomaniac. Now, if he had a Ranged bonus, he'd be pretty saucy and quite well-rounded as an explorer, and quite tempting to pick up, especially early in the game. To me, what hurts the most is that he doesn't get a Melee or Ranged bonus, making him less than ideal as a fighter in any role, nor does he have Arcane or Divine, making him less than optimal as a spellcaster. He's got some stuff that can sting a good bit - like discarding the top card of the Blessing deck to explore again - but also a lot of useful abilities. If you choose him, other veteran players might look at you like, ".Whyyyyy?" He's a lot like Deadpool, really, from what I can see. His biggest drawback in my eyes is actually his HUGE hand size, which makes him vulnerable to high damage, but his evasion ability offsets that nicely. Couple that with his ability to evade an encounter to make a random other character at that location encounter it, and he makes a fairly useful duo with Merisiel, who can auto-evade ANYTHING, or anyone capable of blasting the crap out of whatever bane Ranzak couldn't deal with himself (and with a d10 Dex he isn't bad at combat, provided he has one of those four ranged weapons you should have in his deck).īasically, if you partner him up with a good buddy, and he becomes an exploration maniac that can whittle a location deck down to just the banes very quickly with obscenely low risk (none, if partnered with Merisiel). He has a bonus to acquire boons, and we he DOES successfully acquire a boon, he gets a 50/50 shot at another exploration. When you create his initial deck as a new character, you have to wait until everyone else builds their decks, then build yours from the leftover basics essentially, it's just an excuse not to give him a suggested deck.Īs to him not pulling his weight, I couldn't disagree more.
