Red Duke make-up ?

[thanathos 71]

There has been some speculation as to what skills and characteristic's the red Duke should have.I am thinking :
Based on the book it should be along these lines =
Vampire lord build,lvl 3 magic,Red fury,Quickblood and Fear Incarnate Mounted on a barded Nigthmare and equipt with Sword of bloodshed,Glittering Scales and the Seed of Rebirth. He should also be afflicted with Stupidity(Unsure which century he is in),Induce Terror in bretonians( Hatred bestowed on Bretonian Knigth's),and possibly gifting one units of Black Knigth's with vanguard.The Red Duke should cost about 550 p. and only be used with opponents consent
What do you think ??

Should he really be lvl 3? I always thought he would only be a lvl 1 or possibly two, not up to the magical standards of Vlad.

Maybe i have made him too powerfull, but he seem's a quite strong wizard in the novel-only limited by temporal insecurity ? only lvl 1/2 seem to weak :-(

Yeah but when you compare him to the power of vlad, who raised armies at a time...

It may come across as powerful, but all wizards are powerful to superhuman levels

Red Duke make-up? Surely he wears rouge. Maybe he's born with it, maybe it's Maybelline

Anyway, it's true that all wizards seem to be incredibly powerful, especially so in 8ed. I would put the Red Duke down as a Lvl2 though. As a Blood Dragon magic isn't actually his focus, even if he has innate ability.

Although he does go round raising shitloads of undead in the book and turns someone into a banshee. Also by the end he knows what century it is and isn't confused with what's going on. Gem of Blood was perfect for him in the previous book.

The fluff is always exaggerated so that GW get newbies buying models quickly in the hope that those models are unbeatable.
