Default Re: Brag about your biggest Heroic quality

One of my favorite heroes was one of Sombre's Slave Giants from 'Warhammer: Ogres'. He had sustained so many afflictions that he was useless in melee-he lost both eyes, had a limp, had atleast 3 more afflictions, but had also attained the fear-giving Heroic ability, which got up to around 21 Fear, if I recall correctly, which-combined with his many hitpoints-still managed to make him a powerhouse on the battlefield.

It remains one of my favorites because, unlike a lot of heroic qualities, you could actually imagine it working: Here's a 20+ foot tall, inbred giant, with no eyes, wounds covering his body, chained up and encased in a metal helmet until battle--looks awful, smells awful, is probably psychotic in the extreme, and will undoubtedly eat your corpse once he's done "playing" with it.

Even though you'd have to be stuck in a small cell with this guy for him to be much of a physical threat, I still can't imagine anybody *not* being afraid of this guy, especially surrounded by 8 of his brothers, and backed by an ogre army.
