Anyone used KILI THEKKRSSON?

[Daedalus]

Looking good. That should fit nicely on a Hero Card.

Abilities
Disarm : I don't know for disarm abilities. Maybe that could be a dwarf race skill… But that do stranger for a Troll Slayer.

"Trollslayer: You may roll double the normal attack dice whenever you fight Trolls."
I like the idea to send more dice versus some monster. Maybe something like

Monster slayer:You may reroll 3 attack dice whenever you fight [a: grey platic monsters | b: monster with 3 or more body points].

a is more for european version, b is more for US version.

Opinion?

KILI THEKKRSSON
AS A PLAYER CHARACTER

You can play Kili Thekkrsson as Dwarven Trollslayer player character instead of the Dwarf player character.
Use the following information to fill in your character sheet.

Dwarven Trollslayer
You are a Dwarven Trollslayer. You are a fearless warrior, careless in defence, but inspired on the attack.
You always disarm traps that you find, and you may remove any visible trap in the same room or passage.

Attack
Throw 3 combat dice

Defend
Throw 1 combat die

Move
Throw 2 standard dice

Mind
3 points

Body
8 points

Dwarven Trollslayers can use any of the equipment cards except plate armour, which cramps a Trollslayer's extravagant battle style, and the crossbow, which is a weapon for cowardly peasants.

The version by j_dean80 is a better option for me. The original version with only 1 defense die and no chance to wear any armour looks too weak for me.
Even increasing his Body Points he will suffer too much damage. Unless you allow him to use special colored dice.

[Dreadaxe]

ABILITIES:
When a Monster inflicts one or more wounds you become furious and you can attack it with 1 attack dice more.
You do not use ranged weapons.

[Kurgan]

Interesting. Yeah the super weak version of the character feels more like a mercenary/npc character.

This is my aproach to the Trollslayer for the 2021 remake:

Wandering Dwarf
The Wandering Dwarf is a fearless warrior who lives apart from his clan, forged by the hardships of the road. He is a brave and aggressive fighter who neglects defense in favor of relentless attack. He also possesses the same natural intuition as other dwarves to detect and disarm traps. He cannot use plate armor or projectile weapons, although he may use thrown weapons. It has the same restrictions regarding the use of items as the Dwarf (he can use Dwarf only items and cant use Dwarf excluded items).

Starting characteristics:
Body Points: 8
Mind Points: 3
Basic Defense: 1 (instead of 2 as the other heroes)

Starting equipment:
Dwarven Axe: allows him to attack with 3 combat dice (or 2 combat dice if the character is not a dwarf). This axe is an inherited item, a symbol of the hero’s lineage, and cannot be sold in the armory or given to another player, except in the event of the character’s death (220 gold coins value item).
