Player names are based on 'traditional' fairy archtypes, not GW bastardized versions. |

What about 0-1 for both the Dryads and the Giants?
Overall, I think that the team loos like a pretty good one.
And I think that the fluff takes care of it not being rape. Who is to say that the Nymphs are not as randy as the Satyrs? And if that doesn't work, keep the stats the same and change Nymph to Faun, which, while less known are historical/mythological fae creatures usually depicted as majority-female, who were definitely considered as randy as Satyrs.
I think the "bloodlust/thrall" set is a good balancer. |

AG4 Stunty removes any benefit from titchy (2+ dodge with or without titchy). For this player, titchy is strictly a NEGATIVE skill. Combined with AV5, titchy is meant to balance the MV7AG4. Sprites aren't just small, they're TINY. |

Piling Tackle: You ca use this skill after an opposing player leaves your tacklezone and falls to ground via failed dodge or gfi. Piling tackle can be used to reroll armory or injury roll of falling player. Place player using Piling Tackle in the square vacated by falling player prone.
Wonderful. We can add that to agility or strenght skills, right? |

RE poll: I thought we weren't allowed to use the word rape on fumbbl? We can't use it on #fumbbl right?

Lame, because it doesn't stack with diving tackle. Hrmm, how about 'if the player using piling tackle is prone when piling tackle is used (because of using diving tackle), he is stunned instead of prone after use. |

Yes, you're absolutely right CnB...hadn't thought about those two skills. So, in so far as dodging goes, a rookie Sprite is essentially AG5, and dodges 2+ away from Prehensile Tail, and 3+ away from a Diving Tackler.
That's pretty awesome but does it cross the line for an 0-2 ST1 AV5 positional? It sure as hell fits the fluff for Sprites being nearly impossible to catch. IDK if it'd be OP or not honestly but on first glance it doesn't seem so to me. With leap you can escape DT on a 3+ as well. |

What would really be cool is to have a sort of Reverse Really Stupid for the Satyrs...
When adjacent to a Nymph: 1-5 Distracted by Nymph, 6 Move normally;
Otherwise 1-3 Looking for Nymph, 4-6 Move normally.
p.s the Giant is still damn cool and should be reconsidered now that we have a new stunty Admin! |

I was totally on board the ST8 giant idea. Icon would just be a set of knees and feet, maybe with some knuckles dragging on the ground as well |

I totally forgot about the Woodland Spirit roster......
If the 'faeries' roster was to come in/back, I'm 100% certain in my mind, it would be very woody. e.g Treemen.
To do this roster, it needs a big look at the background of the Wood Elves. I think at least reading the latest book is a must.
Right now this is a bit too much like the Albion Fae roster. Making the faeries less 'generic' i.e. came from a definitive place with definitive characters from that place, did leave the door open to the possibility of this roster in the future.
The main thing about this concept, is that it is very different to the Albion roster. This means that doing this, would likely result in changes to Albion Fae too (to make them as different and clear (theme wise) as possible. Unfortunately, your roster is putting things in reverse I.e. making the 2 ideas vaguely similar again. |

I think this version is pretty different than the Albion roster while still retaining a similar (fae) feel:
0-1 Firbolg Giant 4/8/1/10 Loner, Bone-head, Mighty Blow, Really Stupid, Stand Firm, Thick Skull S (GAP) 160K
0-1 Dryad 5/3/2/8 Side Step, Thick Skull A (GSP) 90K
0-1 Satyr 6/2/3/7 Bonehead, Thick skull, Horns S (GAP) 80K
0-1 Spriggan 6/2/3/6 Dodge, Dauntless, Foul Appearance, Stunty GA (SP) 80K
0-1 Sprite 7/1/4/5 Dodge, Stunty, Titchy, GA (SP) 70K
0-16 Nymphs 6/1/3/6 Dodge, Side Step, Stunty A (GSP) 40K
The Giant is just a super cool idea. The Satyr/Dryad dynamic is interesting. The Spriggan as miniature bully position and the Sprite as a sort of "walking" Pixie. The Nymphs starting with SS make the team positionally interesting to play and develop. Although I feel the roster is a bit underpowered atm (due to overreaction to the Giant) and would need some adjustment. |
