Editing Malifaux (section)

=== Outcasts ===
Basically, everybody else. Most of them start with no soulstone cache, but make up for it in their own special way. Masters can have ridiculous learning curves; Leviticus basically benefits by the player learning how to kill himself. Other Masters have similar tricks, and can do horrible things.

Fluff-wise, they're all over the place.

* '''Leveticus:''' The Cancer that is killing Malifaux is his title, but only in the game's setting though. Necro-steampunk zen guy. Everyone nearing civilized uses him as their fence for exotic/magic shit, while looking the other way regarding a rotating cast of dead-eyed women in skimpy dress always around him. In reality he's animating young women's corpses as puppets and when he dies he inhabits one of them which mutates back into his own form (its implied the rumors about those women are darker than the reality, and that he's unhappy he doesn't stay in their form) although he has also kidnapped a young orphan girl named Marlena which may imply even more dark things about him. Basically, he will die. Repeatedly. It makes him one of the hardest masters to beat and to learn. Plays the most balls out offense game, even against alpha strike Neverborn. Used to have crazy damage (had 0-1-12 damage on his fist in 1.5) but now he has consistent hurt. His keyword He can also summon a pretty powerful Desolation Engine from his Steampunk Abominations that he made out of the mangled remains of your crew/his crew. His crew used to be huge (pariah of bone or iron), but with 3rd cutting back. The best choices are unique shit as bizarre and prone to loop dying as he is. Ergo assassination is not as hard to now since he can no longer constantly respawn; waifs have been caped at 2 now.Being the first to play him in a local meta will net you a lot of easy wins because he has very little in common with anything else in the game. Keyword Amalgam.
* '''The Viktorias:''' Basically Viktoria went on an adventure in hellish plane of Malifaux, met a doppelganger and they became friends. You get two for one here. One has a pistol the other one has [[katana]] and will [[Rip and tear|cleave shit up all over the place]]. Twin shenanigans and the like. Their crew is basically a bunch of punk-goth chicks out for a fun night out on the town. [[Katanas are Underpowered in d20|WITH FUCKING KATANAS]]. While tricky to learn and play, the Viks have some amazing synergies, allowing them to slingshot each other across the board and slice even the toughest foe to ribbons in a single turn. They're so fast it's not even funny. Keyword Mercenary.
* '''Hamelin The Plagued:''' Basically one big homage to the Pied Piper of Hamelin, Hamelin was originally a rat-catcher sewer dweller, but now he's trying to conquer Malifaux. He has lots of rats. Like more than in Mexico City, New York and Hong Kong combined. Neverborn have the advantage of being able to attempt to alpha strike him and then trying to keep their casualties from causing a draw or one of those out of nowhere losses, this works like none of the time. Keyword Plague.
*'''Von Schill:''' Badass German merc, leads the Freikorps, which are a PMC of Badass German mercs. Good choice for people starting Malifaux and don't know what to play, as his crew is generic but solid out of the box, while he himself is the good looking god of death jumping across walls and houses. Also he looks like Hul***REDACTED*** Now has some artificial limbs and is building Outer Heave- Freiholt now that the new governor has banned mercenaries. Keyword Freikorps.
*'''Tara:''' Former dual faction Ressurectionist, Tara is an undead bitch that doesn't give a fuck about anything. She got Shot Through the Heart (and the Guild's to blame), went into a plane of literal nothingness where another chick was too late to bring her back to life, but she made her undead and arguably even more badass than before. Although somewhat underpowered when compared to other masters, she has the super-power of being able to ACTIVATE TWICE IN EVERY TURN. Her crew are a bunch of creepy-crawlies that she brought back with her from the void. Her main gimmick is somewhat counter-intuitive - giving the enemy Fast is not really something you'd normally do... But Tara does it and makes it work surprisingly well. Also, she's a mean bury-er. Keyword Obliteration.
*'''Jack Daw:''' Tormented ghost of a hanged man who somehow isn't Ressers. He and his crew are quite slow but have a lot of movement tricks such as teleporting, but their main focus is cursing the opponent's lynchpin models with some random but deadly curses. One of which can just straight up kill certain models unless they pay a hefty resource tax. Jack can also pull cursed models out of position and damage them by ripping the curses off them and moving the curse to something else. Works well with Tormented-type models like the Guilty, the Drowned and the Hanged, which all get different buffs when attacking cursed models. Quite difficult to get the hang of, but fun. Has one of the best lines in the fluff: ''Jack now wanders Malifaux, looking for a woman he does not recognize in order to avenge a crime he cannot remember.'' Now dual faction with Ressurectionist.  Keyword Tormented. 
*'''Parker Barrows:''' A bandit that is known for robbing banks, trains, etc... Classic outlaw from the law. His crew is based around scheme marker manipulation. Keyword Bandit.
*'''Captain Zipp:''' It was only a matter of time before a Gremlin got his hands on something powerful and keep all his fingers. After getting his hands on an experimental skyship, a jetpack, a laser gun and he decided to gather a crew to get robbing. Dual faction with Bayou. Keyword Infamous.
