The art looks likes it’s been cribbed from GW. Very Bloodbowl-ish. The ‘Deathroller’ crossed with the front part of a Space Marine Vindicator maybe?

the art’s awesome… I love Rob’s work. I just wish it was bigger, or clickable to the full size so you can really see it.

Thanks guys. And how ’bout that art?

Oh and @ Pett, while I am a 4e man, I do have to admit it does have one big knock against it . . . you aren’t whipping up some horrifying adventures for it. C’mon!

Nice idea, I just wish the stats weren’t 4E. Good work though.

I’m not a fourth edition man Matthew, but this is great. There’s a good adventure, short story and nightmare here already – can’t wait till tomorrow – thumbs definitely up!

@ Wyatt, I’d be creative there.

If, as DM, you noticed STR + 1/2 level couldn’t cut it, don’t hesitate to use the mechanics for an escape (Athletics vs Fort, or Acrobatics vs Reflex). But, I would also say using a STR-based attack against a Fort defense instead of AC would simulate the situation fairly well.

However, if you want to be a stickler, go for it. It is a recharge 6, after all, and is likely not to come up too often.

And besides, that will teach those PCs for not packing multiple weapons.

Questions about the Reapervast:

On “Grasping Gears” does ANY Strength vs Fortitude attack free the weapon (such as a power that targets Fortitude?), or only a specific, completely unmodified strength vs fortitude attack as the text leads me to believe? Because if it’s the latter, there is pretty much no way that weapon is getting freed during this combat barring a natural roll of 20.
