FOIL Silas - Limited to 100 (Pre-Order)

I knew it was only a matter of time before I added a plague doctor to the game. And with the addition of the poison counter mechanic, I knew this was the perfect opportunity. Silas is immune to is poison, so if a poison counter would be added to him, it isn't. He just laughs maniacally under the maske. So you can't even hear it, his body just shakes a little.

Anyway, it's a good thing that he has this immunity, because he can bomb the table with a deathly cloud and everybody gets a poison counter. This would include any companions you may have if they do not also have poison immunity. So Atterlob would be a good choice if you don't like the concept of friendly fire. Then again, in a team game, any allied players and their companions are also going to get hit by this, so you might have to be a little calloused toward the suffering of others to play Silas. I'm not judging.  

Poison counters work like this: they don't do anything right away. They sit there on the champion like a looming threat, causing anxiety. Then at the end of each player's turn, each of their characters with at least one poison counter converts one of those counters into damage. So if a character has to counters, they only convert one of them into damage per turn. It's a slow burn. The thing is, regular healing does not remove poison counters, so they are harder to get rid of.

Anyway, play Silas if you want to cause drama. Or if you want to have incredible drip. Or both.
