Condition removal by factions

Recommended Posts

I am not sure if there is a running tally of condition removal by factions but I saw no reason not to start one. I do not play ever faction nor do i no them all but that is why there is a forum, I will start it off.

Neverborn: Dreamer

Ten Thunders: Monks of Low River, Chiaki

Guild: the Family

Arcanists: Arcane Effigy

Outcast: Johan, Freikorps Specialist

Resurrectionists: Chiaki

Guild are the masters of condition removal:

 

Santiago, Nino, Papa and Pistoleros all have (0) Shrug Off.

The Scribe and Mechanical Attendant can both remove conditions on their respective Masters.

Lady Justice can pulse conditions away.

Witchling Stalkers can remove conditions like a boss.

Hiring Johan is still a possibility.

 

I count 8 models in the faction and one Merc.

Hey, as long as I can deny you your schemes and strats, it works fine for me.

Besides, someone as to help you get your extra 40 odd soul stones to overcome resser incompetence :)

I believe it is if you can deny :P

Also it's not incompetence, you are mistaking it for superiority and influence. ;)

People love getting off topic, and I am no better.

What you called Necromancy is not Necromancy.

Mancy means to divination by a specified means. So Necromancy is the divination by means of death or the dead.

Necrokinesis would be giving the death movement.

Also depending one your preference Necrobio or Necrozoo would work for death given life.

Bio in the combining form meaning life. Zoo in the combining form meaning living being or animal.

Necromancy includes raising the dead to speak to them, like if you need more friends :P. In very few settings does that mean giving them life, it's called undead for a reason.

I was talking about the origin of the word and meaning, it is all Greek origin. Also undead equates to not dead, which if your not dead your "alive" or have some semblance of life but not true life. Look at the Rogue Necromancy and tell me that would not be Necrozoo, the only thing it does not do is have offspring to be considered alive.

Form the second book in the Johannes Cabal series:

"Strictly, necromancy was the telling of the future by summoning up the spirits of the dead and asking them searching questions. This, believed Cabal, was a singularly poor way of finding out anything. The dead were moderately strong on history, weak on current events and entirely useless for discerning what was to come. They were, after all, dead. Still, that was the dictionary definition of necromancy.

Over the years, however, it became apparent that necromancy, necromancer and necromantic were fine words wasted on useless definitions and the lexicological group consciousness gently slid them over a few notches so that they now pertained to something interesting, i.e. magic involving the dead. This was far more satisfying: summoning up the ghost of Aunt Matilda for an insight into next week's lottery numbers was dull; a maniac with a pointy beard unleashing an army of skeletal warriors, however, was fun. Thus, we see the evolution of a language and a gratifying sight it is to be sure."
