Scrollhammer: Order of the Black Worm
I'll start working on this later. Eventually. Maybe. --Dagoth Guy 15:26, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
Introduction
[lore and stuff goes here]
[and here]
[etc.,etc.]
The following book contains the rules necessary to field an Order of the Black Worm army in games of Scrollhammer.
General Rules
Undead Racial Traits:
Undead are Fearless.
Lumbering Walk: Undead cannot March.
Unburdened by Life: Undead have Feel No Pain, Immune to Poison, and are unaffected by disease. They are not mortals.
Sload Racial Traits:
Dread Sorcerers: Sloads get +1 to all attempts at casting spells.
Stoic Deliberation: At the beginning of the game, after all deployment, including Infiltrators and Scout re-deployment, mark each unit in which the majority of the models are Sloads. As long as the majority of the models in a unit marked in this way are Sloads, that unit is Stubborn, and may choose to automatically fail any Morale test if it so desires.
Corpulence: Sloads cannot March. While in water Sloads have a 6" movement rate, but while on land their movement rate is reduced to 2".
Shade of the Revenant: A model with this rule is able to use Soul Trap on Common Race models.
Diseases
Chills: ????? ("an extremely dangerous disease affecting the victim's mind and coordination. Symptoms include clumsiness and mental confusion.")
Brown Rot: ????? ("A mild disease affecting the victim's strength and behavior. Symptoms include necrosis and sleeplessness.")
Astral Vapors: ????? ("An acute disease that can be contracted from magical creatures such as undead or golems. It has no physical symptoms, but it adversely affects your Magicka while making you more vulnerable to the magical attacks of others.")
Red Death: ????? ("An acute disease that dramatically affects an afflicted person's agility, and provokes the eruption of blood-leaking pimples on the skin.")
Carrion Worms: ????? (Highly contagious Myiasis/Helminthiasis combo deal. Also, fuck you Mannimarco. Fuck you for making me learn what those words mean.)
Slug Famine: ????? (Was the disease that caused the Thrassian Plague, which was basically Tamriel's version of the Black Death, so maybe symptoms similar to bubonic plague?)
Corpse Counts
- The Corpse Counts may freely be accessed by all players
- For every model that dies on the table top, the Corpse Counts increase.
- When ever a Corpse Count is used to create undead, the count used is reduced by the number of undead created.
Fresh Corpse Count
- Most living models will add to the Fresh Corpse Count when they die. This includes all Common Races as well as some others, such as Falmer.
- The Fresh Corpse Count may be used to create "fleshy" undead (Zombies, Mummies, Bonewalkers, Draugr, etc.).
Decayed Corpse Count
- When a fleshy undead model dies, it adds to the Decayed Corpse Count.
- The Decayed Corpse Count may be used to create skeletal undead (Skeletons, Skeleton Champions, Bonelords, etc.).
- Skeletal undead do not add to the Corpse Counts when slain.
