* The [[Warhammer 40,000|Imperial Guard]] took a whole bunch of levels in bad ass this year{{when}} after they got a new codex that's actually good. Also an example of [[Throw the Dog a Bone]] since IG and IG players were Games Workshop's favorite [[Butt Monkey]].
Line 10 ⟶ 11:
* [[Chess]] has two examples:
** The humble pawn, which upon reaching the last rank on the chessboard gets promoted, almost always into a Queen, the most powerful piece in the game
** The Queen herself. Initially the piece was known as the vizier and moved very similarly to a pawn (i.e. it was much weaker than a king, which can at least cover all eight squares around it). Then, during the 15th or 16th century, it was given
*** This upgrade (orthogonal and diagonal travel without limit where unobstructed) became tellingly known as "madness chess" ("That much power wielded by ''a woman''? [[Title Drop|Madness!]]") and the Italians called the piece ''rabioso''.
*** If it comes to that, the ancient bishop was even weaker, moving diagonally two squares ''exactly'', which restricted it so that 56 of the 64 squares were permanently off-limits.
