WOLFEN

Author: The Judge´s Corner © 2000

Description

NOTE: This race was initially created for the Atlanta Chronopia Campaign utilizing the amazing Confrontation figures from Rackham.

The Wolfen are an old fabled race dating back to well before the rise of power of the Stygian. For millenia they slept in isolated hibernation in the "valley of the mists" in the heart of the continent of Ensallon. The lesser races moved on, developing civilizations of their own and they largely forgot about this once noble yet domineering race. All that remains now are inaccurate and rare children´s fables of "werewolves" and other "werebeasts" that only hint at the power and majestic beauty of this race. However, in recently times, explorers have reawakened the guardians of the valley and now they begin to rebuild their stronghold in the hopes of reemerging onto the world´s stage.

The Wolfen´s true relationship to their lesser cousins, the wolves and their kind is long lost in the tales of the past. They are a very rare race and exist now only in a handful of small tribes in the heart of Ensallon. The tribes have a definite social order with a Pack Leader or alpha-male, a Shaman (male or female) and their lesser brood. Individually they are more powerful than 4 or 5 lesser creatures but their small numbers and incredibly small birth rate have lead them to live their lives in shadow and seclusion until they can rebuild their strength. They once ruled the continent of Ensallon through fear and domination. Where once they would have exerted their power and dominance, now they rely on the fear and disbelief of lesser creatures and their ridiculous tales to keep their existence secret.

Force Structure

Any conflict with the Wolfen will most likely be contact with a single tribe. On rare occasions multiple tribes will band together for the good of the race but in these times of rebuilding they keep their numbers spread out to reduce the risk of discovery. If conflict with a single tribe occurs, it will be found to have a martial structure as follows:
- 1 Pack Leader (alpha-male)
- 1 Shaman
- Adults fighting as individuals
- Adolescents fighting in smaller sub-packs (warbands)
(pups are kept out of any battle situations and are not presented in this force list)

The structure is to be as with other Chronopia armies. Namely, 1 individual for every warband and only 1 missile firing warband for every supporting melee warband in the force

Note: If the Bloodseeker Crossbow is shot at a size 1 or 2 model and kills it?s target then roll an additional d20. On a 1-10 the bolt continues through the model that was killed in a straight line from the origin point of the shot to it?s max range. If this path goes through another model (friend or foe) roll to hit on it and resolve any hits with the DAM reduced to 10. The bolt cannot go through 2 targets.

WOLFEN SHAMAN LORE SPELLS

Blood Frenzy
COST: 15
RANGE: LOS and 18 INCHES
LEVEL: 3
ACTIONS: 2
SAVE: YES - for the unit
EFFECT: When cast on a unit, they suffer from Blood Frenzy if they fail their save. See the LoTR book for clarifications on Blood Frenzy.

Blood Fear
COST: 10
RANGE: LOS and 24 INCHES
LEVEL: 3
ACTIONS: 1
SAVE: YES - for the unit
EFFECT: When cast on a unit, they must make their saving throw or they are affected by FEAR (see Chronopia main rules )

Blood Haze
COST: 15
RANGE: LOS and 24 INCHES
LEVEL: 3
ACTIONS: 2
SAVE: YES - for the unit
EFFECT: When cast on a unit, the spell caster causes the targets? blood to rush to their heads causing ?red outs? and hazy vision. The target warband must make their saving throws. If they pass they are unaffected, if they fail their LOS is cut to 8 inches and their LD is penalized by ?4. If the target warband rolls a natural 20 on it?s save then each model must save vs a DAM 15 attack as the excessive blood pressure leads to massive head trauma possibly causing injury and death.

Blood Drain
COST: 20
RANGE: LOS and 24 INCHES
LEVEL: 4
ACTIONS: 2
SAVE: YES
EFFECT: When this is cast on a unit, the target models suffer from severe lethargy and weakness due to sluggish blood flow. All models that fail their save suffer a -2 penalty to CC, MW and PW, their MV drops by 1 and their DEF suffers a +2 penalty. Use some form of marker to indicate which models have been affected.

Blood Boil
COST: 40
RANGE: LOS and 18 INCHES
LEVEL: 5
ACTIONS: 3
SAVE: YES
EFFECT: When cast on a target model, the spellcaster makes the target´s very blood boil within it causing massive internal damage. If the target model fails it´s saving throw it must save against a DAM 14 attack. If it fails it´s wound save it takes a wound and must continue making saving throws (taking a wound for each failure) until it successfully passes one - such as with poison and fire attacks. HOWEVER, if the target rolls a natural 20 (fumble) on any wound save, the target model explodes in a fountain of gore and any enemy unit within 6" and LOS must make an immediate test vs panic
