dgraz Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 Anyone with book 3 notice... The rules state that you must announce an attached Avatar, but not which Avatar. So.....since there is only one Avatar a master can be....there will be different Avatars for the masters possibly forthcoming? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck Dog Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 I doubt that was the intention, but I do like the idea. I imagine Marcus players would be especially pleased if this was the case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgraz Posted August 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 As a Marcus player, that gave me a giggle. As to intentional or not....it is stated that way several times and if there is only one possible Avatar, why bother? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nilus Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 I think its open ended so they can add more Avatars to masters if they want later. Who knows how it will pan out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swarsmike Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 I don't have the book yet but would that mean that in a brawl I just have to say I have an avatar but not which of my 2 masters it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope. It specifically says to state which masters have avatars attached, but not which avatars. I think its open ended so they can add more Avatars to masters if they want later. Who knows how it will pan out. This is my thought also - I believe it is either just like this - which is nice that they at least have the forethought that it might happen, or the sneaky devils already have something semi-planned - they are known for planning pretty far in advance.

Necromorph Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 Talked to nerdelemental about it at gencon, and he said it was primarily for brawls, no trickery intended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rathnard Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 I would think multiple Avatars per Master is definitely a plan of theirs. :smugpuppet1 Actually, I'm quite curious to know what they're planning for future books. As of Twisty Fates, everything they appeared to have planned during book 1 seems to now be complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talos Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 Yes they have said the next book will flesh out the special forces. I am guessing another henchmen or two for each faction and then a large number of minions as most of the special forces are abit bare. Dont think there will be any more masters. We may also see the rules for upgrading minions to henchmen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We may also see the rules for upgrading minions to henchmen. I have a feeling they have scratched the idea of upgrading minions into Henchmen. It probably was in the initial plan, but the new Henchman rules don't seem to have any place for upgrading. It is going to be strange if and when they add new masters to the game. Rules wise, to make it fare they would need to have an Avatar form, but story wise they would really have to pull it out of their ass. Were they effected by the event? Where were they when they were effected? How are they affiliated with their set faction? I'm sure they have it figured out though, so far Wyrd has not done things half assed.

sephiroa Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 i don't think they will take more avatars for 1 master, i think that would be very strange, for what purpose would they do that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sliver Chocobo Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 i don't think they will take more avatars for 1 master, i think that would be very strange, for what purpose would they do that? Different transformation conditions, different abilities, different play style Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no reason a new master couldn't be new to Malifaux, our newly awakened to their power since the event in book 2. An avatar form wouldn't even be necessary for balance (not right away at least) since the game isn't designed to be balanced master-to-master but faction-to-faction.

DeleteAccount Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 Hell, I'm still expecting either master versions of henchmen or maybe even avatars. I mean, Lucius is pretty heavily hinted that he is packing a very big secret that makes him a monster and Molly having constant contact with the Gorgon's Tear can't be a good thing. That and I hope a master can't be the avatar of two things, it would feel too much like digimon "Seamus digivolves into... AVATAR OF PIMPING!".
