I was considering trying to make my own rules for her but then it hit me, i don't know were she 'sits' on the power scale. Ariel said herself she is practically a demi-god, we know she is more powerful then Orion and that her power is similar to that of the Lady of the Lake. But i still don't understand how powerful she is magic-wise, Slaan powerful? Teclis? Nagash? We know she is tied to Athel Loren, because when she got *pissed* at the Dark Elves and started to learn Dark Magic the entire forest, all the Elves and Spirits included, went batgak crazy with her. We also know she has enough power to repair parts of the world route (something to do with the Slaan's Geometric web?). She was powerful enough at full evil mode to effortlessly trap Morghur (basically Chaos Incarnate...) at was about to consume his power if a Treeman didn't squish him first.

So, in your opinion were does she sit? More importantly is she powerful enough to portray on the battle field? For example Greater Daemons, Orion, Teclis, Slaan, these are the highest end creatures you can have on a battle field fairly. In contrast Nagash, That mountain sized Dragon Ogre and gods of any sort are to powerful to portray, due to they would simply remove things from the table instantly. Think Fantasy Apocalypse style.

Pretty powerful and she did use to be a character in the game...



Having read the fluff in the new book, I'd put her on the power scale of Nagash, so perhaps not suitable for the table top. No harm in a scaled down version though.

Back in time, Ariel was supposed to be a half-god, and was supposed to be as powerful as Orion. Actually, neither of these two were that powerful on the battlefield : Orion could be beaten by many mortal heroes, and Ariel was just slightly more powerful than Morathi. Definitely less powerful than Teclis, Nagash or Slanns. Any well-kitted lvl4 wizard could blast the crap out of her.

She was very much like your old lvl 4 wizard, that used to cost around +50% of a regular 4th elf wizard and use the same lores.

But she's like a butterfly, so she may or may not fly, and may or may not be quick enough to dodge half of the physical attacks against her. Being a divine being, she may or may not have an aura that may or may not protect her against half of the spells thrown at her. She's used to yelling against Orion, ya know, so draw any conclusion about the armour saves that may or may not be allowed against her (vocal) attacks.

She may or may not used to carry four magical objects, one magical wand that may or may not allow you to cast one of your spells (and only that particular spell) at no cost at every turn, some magical beans that may or may not be used once to grow a 12" wood around her, something she may or may not throw at 12" and that may or may no auto-wound, and may ormay not lower the victim's strengh by D6 if the armour save failed, and may or may not carry some kind of magic booze that would heal D6 wound.
