December 2011 Ogre Kingdoms FAQ Out Now!

original thread ↗

The much anticipated Ogre Kingdoms FAQ is out now! Download it here.

Yes, you're reading it right - Butchers and Slaughtermasters can now officially wear magical armour and the Greedy Fist can strip Wizard levels via ranged attacks!

In version 2.0 of the FAQ there's a comment from Jervis Johnson regarding the magical armour ruling:

I have to hold my hands up for not spotting that allowing a Butcher or Slaughtermaster to take an ironfist, would also allow them to take magic armour. Allowing them access to magic armour certainly wasn’t my intention, and it’s something we’ll certainly fix when we do the next edition of the Ogre Kingdoms army book. However, after much debate, we’ve decided that it does not give the Ogres an unfair advantage, so we’ve decided to leave the rule as it is written for the time being. That said, I’d personally recommend that you avoid giving your Butchers and Slaughtermasters magic armour – doing otherwise goes against the spirit, if not the letter, of the rule.

Be sure to check out the FAQ discussion thread in the Feeding Grounds.
