Beastlord Rakarth

Post by Duffman327 »

Just throwing a few ideas around for my Rakarth of Karond Kar list. Here is a profile I kicked up, based on his original equipment from 5th ed.
__________M. WS. BS. S. T. W. I. A. Ld. Pts. 545
___Rakarth. 5. 7. 6. 4. 3. 3. 8. 4. 10
__Bracchus. 6. 6. 0. 6. 6. 6. 3. 5. 9

Special Rules______________Magic items.
Always strikes first._________Whip of Agony - which is the sword of pain common item
Hatred high elves.__________Armour of Fortune - another common item
Murderous prowess.________Enchanted shield
Beastlord.________________Ruby ring of destruction

Equipment
Lance
Sea Dragon Cloak

Beastlord - the beastslaver range is increased to 12" and monster receives D3+1 attacks for a turn

There was a 10 point difference between a Beastmaster and a dread lord. I doubled this amount to tweak the beastslaver rule. Apart from that it's a pretty much run of the mill dread lord anyway.

I was also thinking about bracchus having a s4 flaming attack instead of the standard black dragon breath. Something a bit different. I was even considering bracchus having an option for barding but I think a 2+ armour save dragon is perhaps too tough.

Barded Dragon is a pretty cool idea :mrgreen:

Sword of Pain -- is this the tormentor sword?

I remember the old Rakarth rules and your version is a good update. I'd be happy to play it.

Yeah it probably is the tormentor sword. I had to look up the common items list online and must of been lost in translation.
