Unique Master Location
Harbingers/Samedi
2 pool
Put this card into play with a counter. Once per turn, add a counter. This counter may be used to pay towards the cost of any Necromancy or Thanatosis card. Tap to grant a Harbinger of Skulls or Samedi +1 intercept. If a minion burns this location, they take one unpreventable damage.
Art notes
The inside of a large round hut, empty apart from a Totem at the centre and an altar decorated with a skull and ritual objects. Offside is the opening, which allows light to spill onto the earth floor.
World of Darkness reference
None - we never got the full scoop on the Harbingers/Samedi in the relatively modern era. However given the flavour of Mortis Path / Thanatosis and The Baron's Haitian references, this would seem appropriate.
How does this card address a compelling game need?
Neither Samedi or Harbingers have an intercept location card, and neither have access to a Path (e.g. the Giovanni's Path of Bone, or bloodline paths like
Path of Retribution
). It's not a full-out Path card (e.g. all THN costs reduced by one) as I don't think it's appropriate for the Samedi to have one for Thanatosis, but some provision balances game play as a more general Samedi/Harbinger version of
Fatuus Mastery
). Someone might want to develop a
Path of Mortis Harbingers/Samedi master card for Necromancy cards though....
