Carnevale: Heaven’s Grace

TTCombat zeigen die ersten Charaktere der kommenden Box für den Vatican.

It is through the power of faith and the visions bestowed upon them by their Holy Father that a miracle has occurred in Venice. As all enlightened citizens know, the purity of the Vatican is beyond doubt, and it is this purity that allows the most devoted priests to harness the power of the rent and channel the magic into worthy Altar Boys. To them, this is a clear sign from God that their cause is just and right, for if not, how can they summon Angels down from Heaven?

The process of achieving an angelic state is not an easy or pain-free path, with the entire ordeal taking several days of agonizing suffering before the transformation is complete. Achieving Cherubim is the first grueling task for Altar Boys wishing to ascend to a state closer to their God. Once the power of the rent has been forced into the victim’s body, their faces contort and bodies writhe as feathered wings begin to form on their limbs, eventually replacing them entirely. The excruciating transformation puts incredible strain on the body, and many of the suffering renounce their faith, for how can God wish this ordeal upon them? Surprisingly, others fanatically endure the torture with glee and see the process of becoming angels as a great honour. To ensure the newly crafted Cherubim do not flee, each is tethered to the ground with a heavy cross-marked ball and chain

Of course, the world of Carnevale can be a dark and miserable place with little to know moments of joy and wonder. This means that despite the clear miracle of such beings existing, some would have them slain as abominations unfit to walk the majestic cobblestones of Venice. In combat, a Cherubim is a rather weak henchman, providing little combat capabilities with a measly 2 Attack. These tortured souls are armed with Feathers of Holy Light, which have a 4“ Range provide -1 Evasion along with -1 Penetration when attacking the desired target. In terms of Character Abilities, a Cherubim offers Fear -1, Mindless, Limited Movement, and Universal Shielding (2). All of this means you’ll not want to rely on a Cherubim in combat but for only 8 Ducats, they will be a viable, cheap henchman option if you’d rather spend your limited gang funds on Heroes.
