this is how im leaving him. a bruser with not a lot of guile. his goal is to put the hurt on some other players that are picking up speed. i might use this figure tonight. i think the next figure that i draw up will be either the dark elf, or the barbarian.

some valid points. ive decided to go with the following for the final draft
lowering the craft to 2
the strength has to stay at 4 to start.
losing the first ability for sure to be replaced by a new ability. ----> when using a weapon that adds to strength in combat, you may spend a fate to add 1 to your attack roll during a stand off. this will work well with his fate ability. it was a valid point about the gold, but where does it come from? whos giving the character a gold if he kills a follower or monster in the woods.... and why would an executioner be hired to execute a monster in the woods rather than a guard. the gaining of a fate seems right to me. because hes doing what he does best.
keeping the alignment evil i think, though sure some executioners can be neutral.... this executioner loves what he does, look at him... he'll execute kittens if they get in his way.
cant decide if he should be a 5 life character or not........ im going to go back and look at who else has a 5. most likely it will stay at the 4 though.
keep an eye out for the finished version

i guess i hadn't noticed the hag was now an event. so its an ability that might not be used that often. thats not horrible, the other ability about killing followers of others is pretty harsh. it could be more effective with a roll of 4,5, or 6 but with fate and so on out there and the excecutioner may be able to replenish the fate.
so far for the final draft im lowering the craft to 2 for sure.
as far as that nothing has jumped out at me, i understand the first ability is a little weak or iffy, but there are worse abilities out there. like the trolls regen.
what else might be reasonable abilities in place of the first one if it needs to be changed?
the executioner is unaffected by the black night?
when moving death he may add 1 to death movement roll?
when the executioner kills an enemy or character teleport death to that square?
executioner wins combat ties against good characters?
what seems reasonable?

well the point wasn't to kill 7 followers to gain a strength, but rather when you hit that point where you need one or 2 more points and cant get them, or when you have 2 big kills that total 12. and there is always the fact you can kill some followers to pervent them being stolen should the threat be there. basically it was intended to be a small ability, but i wouldnt call it useless. you can get rid of the hag, the jester and the poltergiest that way. think about it?
craft 2....okay i dig that. thats easy enough to change.
i do like the thought of being able to affect face up strangers though... hmm keep the ideas coming, id like to finish his final version tonight

ive been wondering? the trade ability with the merchant........ it sounds, from the way i read the card, like the characters you trade with have no say whether they like the trade or not. and thats how we've been playing it. is that wrong? does it have to be a trade the other player agrees to?

well, im happy to see the addition of the meat cleaver as well. thats awesome. the card prints pretty well in its original state. im going to have a better version printed on nice thick paper soon. im glad the farmer was well recieved. i will be making my version of the archeologist next, i know there is already one out there. but im redoing the artwork and tweaking it a bit. it will be modeled after the DDM aramil figure with a few small liberties. then the excecutioner. keep your eyes open for updates. might be as early as tomorrow while i kill time before the new episode of lost?!

well, its redone with some tweaks like losing the set symbol, moving the mule ability to the top, and adjusting the final ability but ive tried about 20 times now and the image keeps showing up as broken............ill try it again later, after that im just going to go on ahead with making that myspace page for them.
-
ill tool around with it again before bed and repost it with last minute fine adjustments

Here is the farmer, it's his 2nd version. after some playtesting, i made a few cut backs and ended up with this. the DDM miniatures farmer seemed perfect for the board mini, so i drew this character out with that in mind. ill try to post a few a week. also, i will be eventually putting up a gallery of everyones characters i can find on myspace.
enjoy

i would say that the fact that many people will not be able to agree on how a character should be, can be a good thing. it would cause a number of "variants" so people can choose the one that they feel is the most balanced for their game to print. I will be doing the artwork for some of the ones that im working on, and each drawing will have an existing, easy to aquire miniature to acompany it. the first one that i make from scratch will be the farmer. ill throw them up when i have a few to post at once. i also tweaked a nice looking minotar i found.

okay after a lot of searching, i was able to find the good template. with that, ill be able to add a lot to the community over time.

i have been into talisman for about a year and a half, id say that i've played between 20-30 games. i appreciate all of the games strengths and weaknesses alike, and more than anything i want to see the game continue to produce expansions.
with the release of the reaper expansion, i have begun to crave a more broad spectrum of characters to randomly select from. i have seen a large number of very well done community pieces that have been made. its got me thinking, as a community could we pool them together in one place? starting by posting links on this thread that lead to groups of completed characters, making the process of downloading them easier? i had hoped that a page like this already existed somewhere, and if it does i am sorry for the repeat, but i have been unable to find a central location for some quality res pics with a plethera of images.
now it can be said that everyone will not always agree on who should do what, but multiple copies or versions of the same characters could all be posted to please everybody. i would be interested in collecting the images, sizing them to print correctly and placing them someplace where people can easily get to them likea myspace fan site (giving credit where necessary) for easy downloads? any thoughts?
Lastly, is there a good template that someone has created already? i keep looking and i found some fonts to download in a zip to match the texts but thats it?
so if you have time time, all you need to do is dump some links here. ill try to organize them and put them in an easy to access place to download and print?
thanks for your time n' stuff.

love the merchant. i think that he adds another dimension to the game. the character has a different feel, is good, and not overpowered like the dark cultist.
