From Curt: Diana Stanley 'The Reformed Cultist' for Mansions of Madness and a Trip on Sarah's Balloon (5 Points)


Hi All,


As I've been away for the past week I thought I'd get my eye in with a small entry for Sarah's Balloon. Here's Diana Stanley 'The Reformed Cultist' from 'Mansions of Madness'. 



'Reformed Cultist'. Such a great tagline. Really, who wouldn't want that on their CV for 'past work experience'? 

Diana's special ability allows her to tangle with particularly nasty monsters with minimal sanity loss. All this being said, her strength stat is fairly low, so she needs a heavy-hitting spell or a spiffy magic item to really make her tick along. She's best run by an experienced player who knows how to finesse her abilities, otherwise she'll be more of a burden than a benefit to the party.



Not learning from past experience, I just picked her up and started painting without really looking at the character card. The results weren't as bad as before, as I at least got her auburn hair right, and besides, I reason she'll still be pretty distinctive on the tabletop with her long hooded robe and howitzer shell-sized candle. 

Next Up: Sander's Sand Dunes!

  4. That's a suitably moody paintjob, I do think I like this one best out of the bunch you've done so far!

  6. Excellent work! The robes and the hair are a good colour combo. You’re right about the size of that candle, it’s a bit of a beast!

  8. Lovely stuff Curt, that title has hints of Pratchett's Young Men's Reformed-Cultists-of-the-Ichor-God-Bel-Shamharoth Association

  10. Good work- I think I've struggled with her low sanity before.
