[QUOTE="Iron Sky, post: 4991518, member: 60965"] For the two judges who have already weighed in (since I don't know if posting a clarification here counts as attempting to sway the judges, I'll sblock it for Nifft): [sblock] If I understand correctly, neither of you saw the "healerness" of the Royal Wight. I hinged it on this: "Mechanically, he is a Battle Wight Commander([I]MM1[/I],p262), modified to be an elite – mostly consisting of making the Soul Harvest power an at-will rather than recharge power, augmenting the area-of-effect and healing quantity of Soul Harvest, and giving him 15 lightning resist." When I looked up Wights in the MM (in desperation I might add), I notice that the Battle Wight Commander is a [I]healer wight[/I] - as in, his most defining power is that he heals! I thought, ahah! Perfect! To make him a bit tougher, I made him an elite and made him even more of a healer. I originally thought of slapping the cleric template on him to make him even more of a healer, but I thought this way was a bit more subtle - I didn't even really have to modify a pre-made wight to make him a healer(just augment what was already there when transforming him into an elite). I guess I was right about it being subtle. Maybe I should have posted the power? Not sure how to handle that. Anyway, just in case the judges were wondering. I will admit he's not as "healery" as Wik's healer, but I wasn't totally on crack when I did what I did. :p[/sblock] Also, to phoamslinger, no I've never played Paranoia, though I've heard of it a bit. I'll look into it. And Radiant Gnome, I ordered the first Black Company book off of Amazon. I went there to read a summary and see what you were talking about in your judgment and those books sound right up my alley(I'd never even heard of them before!) Thanks for using that reference, hopefully they'll finally be a fantasy novel I can sink my teeth into again - George R. R. Martin ruined the genre for me since I compare all fantasy I read now on the ASOIAF scale, as in, would I rather re-read one of the books in the series that I've already read 4 times or read the fantasy novel in my hands. ASOIAF usually wins. [/QUOTE]
