that’s good. should probably only be for churchhill’s positive stats, though

Amnistar: he/him

well, if someone has a negative stat, the 0 takes over, otherwise, it’s not an issue :)

If there’s anyone out there that isn’t terribly interested in the process of designing of new Einherjar, but wants to see an increase in the number of available Einherjar, I suggest simply commenting to this post with “I nominate (so-and-so)” and including a wikipedia link for any one of:

Otto Skorzeny
Siddhartha
Joshua A. Norton
Mohandas Gandhi
D.B. Cooper
Nellie Bly

And then, I’ll just base the Einherjar off of the already-made posts for them.

Those posts all still work don’t they?  They were made prior to the rule change…?

i nominate Siddhartha
Siddhartha Gautama

i think i see hix’s point: they were made prior to the rule change, but not bumped up by the allfather. now the allfather has to follow current rules, even though the posts were made previously.

Amnistar: No current rule allows me to add them to the list of Unrecruited Einherjar.

ah okay

I’ll short-circuit that with an omnibus grandfathering proposal.

There is a slight miswording of Ron Hubbard’s special ability.  The next to last sentence of the second special ability should read like this:

If the result of the DICE6 roll is greater than or equal to the chosen Einherjar’s (not Valkyrie’s) Scholasticism, then the chosen Einherjar’s (not Valkyrie’s) owner loses 10 Acorns, and L. Ron Hubbard’s owner gains 10 Acorns.

Is this something that should be changed by Hix or by a proposal, since it is a typographical error?

Proposal.  Typos can only be corrected when they appear in the Ruleset.
