The Book of Quantum Bands

[quozl]

No, that's also a prior ruling.

[Karat]

Ok. Good to know.

Who is against going this route and why?

The way I see it, it is the most interesting route albeit slightly more complex.

[quozl]

I am against it because you're already getting the same thing from the current write-up.

[SirGalahad]

If it's thematic that the wearer should receive random damage, I'm fine with it.
In terms of gameplay, once Quasar is destroyed and this glyph is left on the battlefield, I'm not sure I'd be too interested in having many of my figures pick it up. Maybe a 1-Life-remaining Hero to get in one last big attack, but having to roll unblockable attack dice against my own figure when the defending figure gets to roll defense dice seems like a lot to risk.

[SirGalahad]

The subtitle should parallel the Glyph of Nega-Bands:

Attack +2, Flying, Super Strength

[IAmBatman]

Karat, I'd have to see Johnny's version written up to know how I really feel.

[johnny139]

Something along those lines.

GLYPH OF QUANTUM BANDS
EQUIPMENT GLYPH
Add two to this figure's Attack number. This figure also gains the Flying and Super Strength special powers. When this figure attacks with a normal attack, all blanks rolled count as extra skulls. After attacking with this figure, if this figure does not have the Quantum Bands special power, roll one unblockable attack die for each skull rolled. This figure receives one wound for each skull rolled.

[IAmBatman]

It's OK.

[Karat]

Ok. Sounds like we're good as is then. I'll make that update and then I believe we're ready for an initial, and so I propose we move on to the Initial.

[Scapemage]

This phase of design does not need to happen in the Sidekick Sanctum, only the public, so simply go right ahead with the test when you're ready.

[IAmBatman]

Agreed, though quozl seemed like he wasn't keen on that wording - I dunno, I'd wait and see if more than just a couple of Heroes are OK with the wording Johnny posted. I'm not exactly in love with it - I'm just OK with it.
