Secret Weapon Descriptions?

Post by sjmiller »

I must be one thick ol' git, because I am having trouble with the secret weapons. It's been a few years since I played, but back in the day, when a player had a secret weapon it actually told what the secret weapon is and what it does. I was looking at Berik Farshot, for example, and he's listed as having a secret weapon. I have no idea what it is or what it does, but he has one. Is there perhaps a list somewhere describing the different secret weapons? How about descriptions/backgrounds on all the star players while I am at it?

Secret weapons are now totally described in the stats/skills of the player--there is no seperate section for them now. To determine what secret weapon they are carrying, look at the other skills and usually it is realatively obvious.

Barik Farblast (hmm. just the name make me think he has a blunderbuss)..
6/3/3/8 Loner, Hail Mary Pass, Secret Weapon, Strong Arm, Sure Hands, Thick Skull.

--Name (farblast), skills (hail mary pass, stron arm) tells me he has a blunderbuss.

Granted, he's one of the least obvious ones, as most have a 'secret weapon skill' such as Bumbardier or Ball and Chain.

Other non-obvious ones are Scrappa Sorehead--has a pogo stick, represented by the additional movment, and movement skills (sprint, sure feet, VLL); and the other blunderbuss--Zzharg Madeye

:lol: Once per half the player with this skill can make the devastating Rumplaunch attack, any players from either team in this players tackle zones are immediately placed prone as fits of gagging and coughing set in. :lol:

On a 4+, each player placed prone is also stunned as they spend the next turn feeding the pitch their lunch.

You know, I like it. This has to make it into the game, either as a special card, or as a star player, or something!

It would be great to have one more troll on the goblin side who has this ability (A 0-1 Secret Weapon Troll with normal stats and Bumbardier...)

Or as a mutation. Although I can envision it as a cydwarf contraption as well
