Shock Troops of the Egg: The Qullan

[ripvanwormer]

Nifty!
I don't know how extra-sharp swords give a bonus 'to hit'. :? A bonus to damage is more logical.
The 'confusion aura' reminded me a lot of the description of Marfeldt the Barbarian
("the numbness of mind that seems to afflict those who converse with the Barbarian", FFC, p. 15). That coupled with the reference to revulsion (ibid.) must be akin to the Qullans' aura.

The idea that Marfeldt is connected to the qullans is brilliant. He was somehow "created" by a wizard, so it makes sense that he might be some kind of artificial being, perhaps a magically created hybrid made by someone who sought to invest the powers of the qullans into troops loyal to him rather than to the Egg. He either managed to create only one, or Marfeldt killed the others (or is there another one around somewhere?).
