When i read true the age of the king supplement (which is awsome) i saw the Alatar model. When i saw it i thought "that could be an awsome Highpriest" I painted it in the usual easterling scheme, but then i got a problem. I ain`t to good at making House profiles. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas for an easterling highpriest guy. Like a guy who leads the warpriest an stuff. A guy with magical powers etc. I know it sounds pretty lame to just request a House Profile so i`m sorry if i offended anyone with saying that i wanted people to make me a profile.

Excuse my english i`m only thirteen and i´m Norwegian so i don´t always know how to express myself

Thanks in advance

So in other words, a stronger "wizard" for the easterlings?
I would suggest Khamul, but because you wanted a new high priest, try to look at some of the minor wizards? (In my opinion radagast is minor)

Just forget it i left my pc unguarded and my brother posted this sorry

I thought about this and came up with a balanced profile

Ulfang the High Priest (Man)------100 points

-F--S-D-A-W-C-----M/W/F
4/- 4-5-1-3--4------3-3*3

Equipment: Battle Stave, Heavy Armour and an Ensorcelled Ring.

Special Rules

*Ensorcelled Ring: The most loyal of the minions of the Dark Lord are granted gifts for their servitude and devout loyalty. The bearer of the Ensorcelled Ring is granted a formidable ability to wield magic. This grants the wearer one free point of will per turn. However, like all gifts from the Dark Lord, the ring is tainted. If a 1 is rolled when attempting to cast magic the user suffers an automatic wound (fate points can be used to attempt to avoid the wound).

Designers Note: The Ensorcelled Ring is subject to the effects of the magic power 'Your Staff is Broken!' in the same way a Staff of Power is.

Magical Powers


Bladewrath: See Easterling War Priests entry
Transfix: Range: 12"/28cm Dice Score: 3+
Compel: Range 12"/28cm Dice Score: 4+
Arcane Bolt: Range:12"/28cm Score: 4+: A lightning bolt of arcane origin shoots from the hands of the Priest. The Arcane Bolt inflicts a single S6 hit against the target.

Hope you like the profile.

EDIT: Thanks for the Supplement.

EDIT: Removed fury as other members expressed the same view as me on the matter

EDIT: Changed profile to named character, Ulfang.

Thanks mate.

On the Profile, do you think the High Priest should have access to another magic power? Or is three enough. I think the priest should have access to Compel or another power.

yeah i think that the priest could have compel to
I also thought should he have some offensive spell?? (like Kardushs flameburst) just a little more tolkineish

by the way i have sent you the mail

I was thinking, maybe the High Priest shouldn't have fury. I don't think he needs to have it since it is a 'common power' per se.

I just found this thread, but I agree. Since your priest has a free Will point, he will be best used in more of a magic-support role, like Ringwraiths generally are.
Fury is for "cheap" shamans that can lead a bunch of troops on a charge into enemy formations. Using it effectively would be too risky for that precious free point.
Nice profile, by the way. I think I would have just said the battle stave worked like a wizard's staff of power, but I think the rest is exactly how I would have done it. Of course, I haven't kept up too well with the rules in a while, so I don't know what has changed.

I really liked the Ensorcelled ring. I (for some reason) mean that the staffs of power was some mighty magical talismans for the istari and they only but then again that is just my meaning.

Same here, it just seemed very Tolkienish.

Is this supposed to be a named character?

If not, then personally I'd be tempted to knock him down to 2 wounds, instead of 3, since (as far as I know) no unnamed human, elf, dwarf, or orc hero that's normal-sized gets more than 2 wounds.

The profile looks good though! Definitely well balanced.

_________________
Well, that's my 2 cents.

I have updated the Profile.

Thanks for the compliments on the profile. I was aiming for balance as much as possible.

I was originaly going to have it as 'Stave of Power' or similar, but then I thought it should be more tolkienish, hence a ring. The Ensorcelled part is taken from the fact that Ringwraiths wield "Ensorcelled Blades".



Thanks for the input. I am not sure that a High Priest should have 2 wounds, I feel he should have three. BUT, I think that maybe he should be a named character as you suggested, maybe some diabolical pawn of Khamul.....

I am open to any reasonable name suggestions, something tolkienish would be best. Of course Beurthiel needs to agree to it being a named character.

I agree it should be a named character i was about to post that but Hirumith beat me to it

hmm names...
These are all from the names of middle earth file: Yumruk, Yaban, Sacal, Kemik, Gizik

One of the real easterling names? Uldor Ulfang, Brodda, Ulfast, Ulwarth, Bor.

What do you think?

I like the name of Ulfang. What do other people think?

Yeah, "Ulfang the High Priest" has a nice ring to it. I really like this profile, it's a great idea!
