Alternative rules

[kalimsshar]

Hoy everybody

I can't spend time on the hobby now (thanks to my two goblins). To deceive boredom I'm working on alternative rules for Frostgrave. To sum up:
Experience adjustment (close to the Studio Tomahawk work, group experience)
Soldier adjustment and skills to be obtain with the group experience
Racial adjustment (to be fluffier kipping the game balance, buildings and soldiers price adjustment)
Skills (any figure shall acquire it, Mordheim nostalgia)
Building and ressource improving.
In game adjustment maybe (specific rules for specific buildings, ground, weather...)

Anyone interest in skirmish game is welcome to criticise, give advise. I will share my ideas and read carefully yours. I don't want to revolutionize this good game, but give some things to add to your game. If I'm going too far in a way or an other, please tell me.

First, I have to list all the soldiers available. I have the rule book, but no more. Is someone can give me the full list with the supplement source. I know there are Captain, Mule, Javelineer, Crow master, who else.
Is someone can share with me there caracteristic, power and equipment?

I would have thought sharing stat lines etc of henchmen would be, if not against the forum rules, a little on the "wrong" side, as it would be one less reason for people to buy the supplements.

AGREED. we buy the products so they keep makin em.

You are right to keep it. But in a first time I need the full list of soldiers and the name of the supplement to find it. Anyone of you can provide it to me?

Double post to entertain you.
Two ideas: the "soldier" adjustment, the skills

Figure adjustement to represent the fact an apprentice is only an apprentice and a captain is a leader. As I don't have the captain caracteristic and so, I imagine it as a figure capable to customize his equipment and lead.
Wizard Skills: Leadership (3), Charismatic (3)
Apprentice Skills: Leadership (1), Charismatic (1)
Captain Skills: Leadership (2), Charismatic (2)

Here is the list of skills so far. I don't know yet how much it will cost to buy one level (TBD). I think group experience or money (pay the teacher) (TBD). Each skill wil have diferent cost, the same goes for each level (TBD). They are regroup by thematic. Depends on the race or the soldier some will be anavailable, cheaper. (TBD).
