Greetings!
I`ve composed a new Wood Elf Character, but I have a bit of
trouble on giving him the right point cost value. Since his
abilities are quite unique, PCC hasn`t been able to help me much.
Any comments are welcome. I tried, for once make a Special
Character who is not a mighty H-T-H fighter, but rather a good
tool for a more strategically minded general.

SOROND, THE MINSTREL OF ATHEL LOREN
Sorond the Bard is the minstrel of the
court of Loren, and the most famous musician of this age of the
Old Word. Since his youth Sorond has blended his considerable
talents in magic to his outstanding gift of composing and
performing music. In the enchanted glades of Loren, one can hear
his gloriously pure singing voice as it echoes through the
Blessed Forest. It is said that a mortal man can be so entranced
by his singing for a hundred years, standing still and not
realising the passage of time. The Wood Elves value their bard
above all gems and jewelry, and Sorond is welcome even in the
tables of the Elf Kings. When war threatens Athel Loren, the
clarion calls of the Wood Elf scouts bid the Elf Host to
assemble, and Sorond is always amongst the first that arrive. In
battle he uses his enchanted voice against the enemies of the
Forest and to sooth and calm the Elf warriors and sharpen their
hatred of evil to a keen edge.

SPECIAL RULES:
- SONGS OF ENCHANTMENT:
- Sorond is the master of the peculiar
branch of magic that entraps the Winds of Magic with
songs. In the beginning of each of your own turns, you
may choose one of the following songs that Sorond uses.
the effect lasts your entire turn and that of your
opponent`s, unless otherwise noted. Sorond MUST
be placed in the front rank of his unit if he wishes to
use his magical songs.
- HYMN OF HATRED:
- Sorond, and any unit he is
with, will hate all the enemy models. See rules
for hatred in Warhammer Rulebook.
- WARDING SONG:
- Sorond, and any unit he is
with, have 4+ dispel against any hostile magic.
- VOICE OF POSSESSION:
- This song allows Sorond to
take over any single model within 12". The
target must take a standard Ld check. If this is
failed, Sorond gains the control of the target.
The possessed model is immediately separated from
any unit he was accompanying and is considered to
be in H-T-H combat with them. Otherwise the
possessed model is treated excatly as part of the
Wood Elf army, and may move, cast spells and
fight at the same time as the rest of the Wood
Elves.
The Possessed model is allowed a new Ld check at
the beginning of any new Wood Elf turn. The
Possession ends immediately if Sorond is killed
or changes the song he is using.
- SONG OF CALMNESS:
- This song makes Sorond and any
unit he is with immune to Fear, Terror, Panic and
Stupidity.
- CALL OF BRAVERY:
- This song can be used to rally
any one fleeing Wood Elf unit within 12"
immediately. Note that this song allows the
rallied unit to reform AND move
immediately after rallying. This song can be used
only once per Wood Elf turn, and affects only
single unit.
- TUNE OF LUCK:
- This song binds the winds of
Celestial magic around Sorond and any unit he is
with, and grants them +1 to their armour save.
NEW MAGIC ITEMS:
- NOLANDTE, THE HARP OF LOREN
- Nolandte was made by the greatest Wood
Elf artisan of all time, Nolan son of Naloer. It is a
Harp made out of silver and white wood, and it is
considered to be the finest instrument ever made.
Once per magic phase Nolandte can unleash a spell against
any enemy unit or single model within 24" inches.
The target must immediately make a Ld test or it will be
unable to move or shoot during the next turn, and suffers
-1 reduction on any further Ld tests it takes.
Nolandte can also be used as a longbow. Arrows shot with
it have a magical S of 4 and normal armour is ineffective
against it`s hits. Magic armour saves as normal.
