Skeleton Archer

[Levie]

:D I have an idea for another unit...A skeleton archer
hp-34
dodge percent-40% from front 30 from back and other sides
def- 20
recovery speed- 3 turns
attack- 20
movement spaces-3
looks- a skeleton with rotting wood hanging down from his bow and armor with teared sleeves and long shorts with holes in them
attack distance-7 squares
effect- poison arrow...can only be used once every five turns decreses the enemys hp 2 a turn

Methinks it's a bit too powerful. It's a Scout (already very powerful) with extra Armor, Blocking (total of all four sides), Attack, and Range, but with worse HP and recovery? And that's not even counting the ability, which could be quite good against certain hard-to-kill units (*cough*KNIGHT*cough).

When I told you it was too powerful, you... decreased armor but increased HP such that it's actually more resilient than before, increased blocking, increased power to the highest power in the game, doubled the ability, and decreased the range slightly?

Try again; this seems to me to be more powerful than the previous version.

EDIT: Typo

I'm sorry, am I in the Fantasy Arena Online forum by mistake?

This game isn't about sticking to mythology or what other games/movies/books/etc. say, this is about being a good, balanced game. That unit is not balanced. It is too powerful. It needs to be toned down.

Besides, in the movies I've watched, undead have no blocking, since they don't think about self-preservation but just mindlessly attack until dead, and usually aren't smart enough to use weapons, but instead just stumbled towards the guy looking spooky.
