Legion of Nagash The Rituals Of Nagash

[Disciple of Nagash]

This thread is to vote on the Rituals of Nagash.

Just to clear up an confusion, this is not the magic lore for the legion. More a collection of innate rituals that all casters in the army will know. Depending on who they are will dictate how many they can cast per turn, in addition to any normal spells from the Lore of Nagash they can cast.

Please note: This is not to vote whether they fit in with the theme etc. That is what the discussion in the threads is for.

It is to check and ensure we have created fair rules that are not unbalancing, or there is not something grossly wrong that has been over looked.

Rituals of Nagash

All casters in the Legion of Nagash know all four rituals. They may be cast at any time during the magic phase, and the number that can be cast will be stated in the character entry.

All rituals are cast in the same way as a bound item at power level D3+2.


Ritual of Birth
This ritual may be cast upon a single Undead unit within 12" of the caster. The targeted unit may raise / heal the following amount:
Core: D6 wounds (may take over original unit size)
Special: D3 wounds
Rare / Characters: 1 wound

Ritual of Life
This ritual may be cast upon a unit within 12" of the caster. The targeted unit may make a single march move. If this move takes them into base contact with an enemy unit it counts as a charge.

Ritual of Death
This ritual may be cast upon a unit within 12" of the caster. The targeted unit may re-roll all rolls to wound in combat until the next magic phase

Ritual of Afterlife
This ritual may be cast upon a unit within 12" of the caster. Any models struck down in the next combat phase may still make all its normal attacks, even though it is dead.

Ritual of Birth:
I think it should work like IoN: D6 wounds on Infantry and 1 on either cavalry or characters. I also think it should specify Undead units; I can't see living ones pop into existence from nothingness.

Ritual of Death:
In this Close Combat only for all phases? If it's the latter, I think it should specify one phase.

All:
I think a caster is restricted to casting each Ritual once per turn.
I think the Power Level of the Ritual should be D6 like Tomb King Incantations, not a static 4.

 

[Disciple of Nagash]

Ritual of Birth - I can see the sense in your suggestions. However I would suggest the following instead:

Core - D6 wounds
Special - D3 wounds
Character & Rare - 1 Wound

Ritual of Death
I think it is fair for both combat phases personally

All:
Disagree strongly - Characters costs etc have taken them into consideration, plus I fail to see why the Lord level DoN can't cast two.

The power level generation I am willing to compromise on however - if enough people agree this can be changed.

@Vekarin - you should really discuss with us in the threads as you seem to have lots of ideas!

Fair enough.

What about Magic? Does it effect them as well?

All:
Disagree strongly - Characters costs etc have taken them into consideration, plus I fail to see why the Lord level DoN can't cast two.

I'm not saying a DoN can't cast more than one per turn, just not more than one of the same ritual. Like casting spells; you can't cast the same spell twice - you only have it once.

 

[Arion]

Perhaps D3+2 magic level?

And I think they should be able to cast the rituals more than once, definately the Ritual of Birth and Life, perhaps not the other two?

 

[Trevy the Great]

Looked again at the character stats. I didn't know the amount of castings of rituals was so low.
Consider that an error on my part, although the Rituals of Afterlife and Death can only really be used once on a unit. They don't seem to stack.

A D3+2 casting value seems sufficient, thanks Arion.

 

[Disciple of Nagash]

So can we agree D3+2 casting level, and that the same Ritual can be recast, though that will only apply to DoN and the Revenant?

 

[Trevy the Great]

Indeed.

What about the Ritual of Birth. Is it castable on Alive! units?

 

[Disciple of Nagash]

Nope, if you re-read I have put the word Undead in there now. I will also amend the casting value.

 

[Trevy the Great]

Okay, I think they looks good.

 

[TMS]

Though I've nothing to add to the discussion going on in here, I'd just like to say that I fully approve of the rituals post-adjusting.

 

[Disciple of Nagash]

Excellent - don't forget to vote Arion!

 

[Arion]

Done.

 

[Disciple of Nagash]

Thankyou - Now will you all please look at some of the bumped threads in the Legion? You all seem to have decent ideas and opinions, so why not help right from the start?

 

[Disciple of Nagash]

Bump!

Come on - more interest here please!!

 

[Disciple of Nagash]

Vekarin - I have moved added your vote to yes as you agreed as above.

 

[Skaramak von Carstein]

I think that the rituals in their current adjusted states are fine. You guys seem to have sorted it already!!

 

[Disciple of Nagash]

Bump!

 

[Disciple of Nagash]

Last chance to vote on this. Poll will be closing tomorrow.

 

[Disciple of Nagash]
