10. Final Words...

My grateful thanks to the following contributers for providing corrections or missing information. No matter how great or small the following readers/posters have my thx for their contributions. Stand and be recognized:

My thx Muktol Ambossbrecher. In addition Ive updated the relevant entries and will be adding more with probably my last playthrough of the game. Just 3 more Orc entries and 1 Skaven to complete the beastiary part.

The event part will take alot longer to complete if I ever manage it. But its got alot of entries so will be mostly complete when I finally stop.

[Muktol Ambossbrecher]

Orc Big Boss: Ignore Blow ?+
Some Monsters are so immense and powerful that they can Ignore Blows
which would kill lesser Monsters. Each time a Warrior hits such a Monster in
hand-to-hand combat or with a missile weapon roll 1D6. If the score is equal
to or higher than its Ignore Blow Rating (n+) the hit is shrugged off and
causes no damage at all.

[Muktol Ambossbrecher]

Stone Troll has the "Scaly Skin" Ability and each Savage Orc has "Tattoo" (both not shown in the tooltip).
Tattoo: Some Monsters are painted with complicated protective Tattoos that act like armour. Whether this is due to some arcane power inherent in the tattoos, or
simply the strength of belief on the wearer's part, they do seem to work.
Each time a Monster wearing tattoos is hit roll 1D6. If the score is n or more,
where n is the number after the Tattoos entry, the blow has no effect.
A Monster with Tattoos 5+, for instance, ignores incoming blows on a 1D6
roll of 5 or 6.
Scaly Skins seams to be the same tough I couldn't find any real information on this ability.

Thx Muktol.... it doesnt seem right does it!?! I will dbl-check when I next can and have another look at what the in-game tool-tip says. Though I suspect its probably as you wrote.

[Muktol Ambossbrecher]

Great guide.
At last according to the classic roleplay rules 'Ere We Go would be:
The Shaman floods his allies with power. All Orcs and Goblins on the board get +1 Attack this turn and +1 Toughness next turn.
Tough that doesn't have to mean anything as, for example, most of the other stat's don't concur.
