Yeah, it's a pretty nasty one. In the tabletop rules, you cast it on one enemy unit, and they turn into a unit of Clanrats. Any enemy unit.

"Curse of the Horned Rat - The Dreaded Thirteenth Spell. With a sickening lurch, the fabric of reality is torn by the twisting power of the Great Horned One, turning opposition to Clanrats."

This spell seems insanely overpowered. Are there any special prerequisites that must be met before casting it? Like for example, it only works under the full moon of morrslieb or something similar? Because I find it difficult to believe that the Skaven wouldn't abuse the hell out of that spell.

Another spell that would make the Skaven here terrifying, even quite aside from the Warpstone tech they'll have brought with them, is The Chittering:

"The Chittering - Most Skaven magic corrupts the body; this spell corrupts the mind. When cast, the Seer spreads a web of insanity around him, warping the minds of all within 100 yards. Victims degenerate into a mindless horde, instinctively aiding all Skaven and the Seer in particular. They gather around the caster to protect them, follow simple instructions, and attack anyone unaffected by the magic, using hands and teeth. Victims also lose the power of speech, communicating with gestures and the rat-like chittering noises that give this spell its name."

Now that's just the magical version of a zombie apocalypse.

Do you reckon if those afflicted by the curse of Chittering can spread their condition via biting their victims and passing the spell like a virus?

You know, like the tyrant virus from resident evil, with those infected by it becoming bloodthirsty ghouls devoid of anything but their desire for human flesh.

Still, Trelawney will probably appreciate someone who takes her "doom" prophecies seriously.

Or feel extremely inadequate, considering she makes up 90% of her forewarnings of imminent death, whereas Zagreus visions, more often than not, are genuine.

Like, Peeves wasn't even here to ruin the mood being mean like he normally does, he's here to add some technically illegal cheer to it.

Thats basically Ranald.txt, we're just short the cat.

If I'm being completely sincere, I really regret that Cegorach, the Great Harlequin and the First Fool is exclusively in warhammer 40k, because I think the eldar laughing god, if we take the way harlequins dress and behave, matches peeves more than ranald will ever do. Don't get me wrong, I think ranald is awesome, but he was, first and foremost, a roguish thief with a mischievous streak, but whose tricks and schemes were meant to be practical and useful, meant to help him to empty the pockets of his victims, and to teach life lessons to those too full of themselves.

He wasn't a jester, but a noble brigand who stole from the rich and gave to the poor. His behaviour caught the eye of Shallya, the goddess of healing, and she fell in love. However, one day he became so afflicted with disease that the only way to save him was to let him drink from her holy chalice and gain immortality. But once he supped from the chalice, he laughed and danced into the heavens, revelling in the ruse that had made him a god.

Although mischief was part of his purview, he was also the god of luck and fortune, and he didn't wreak havoc for chaos' sake, unlike peeves, who rejoices in creating a ruckus just for shits and giggles. Now compare peeves, who is described in the books as a troublemaking poltergeist that takes the appearance of a clown wearing mismatched and colourful clothes, then take a look at Cegorach and his troupe, and you'll see what I mean.


If anything, Ranald is more akin to robin hood in warhammer fantasy, so robin hood in steroids, and Shallya, all pious and proper, would be lady Marian.

It has very high casting threshold to successfully pull it off in tabletop, and every spellcaster in that game tends to be both squishy and have a high chance of blowing themselves up.
 
...... Terrifying idea but peter pettigrew as a skaven.... Or worse, a skaven who can turn into a human.

I mean, his personality even without skavenization find that of a skaven in many ways...
 
Eww, Vermintide? Hmmph! We're not scared of a little Skaven apocalypse, wizarding world has dealt with worse, bring it on! Plus, y'know, they're Skaven. Something will inevitably go just right and then they'll screw the pooch.
