-Type of Glyph-

• Equipment Glyph: Equipment Glyphs, which are a part of this Master Set, are a special type of Glyph similar to Treasure Glyphs that were introduced in the Heroscape Battle for the Underdark Master Set. Equipment Glyphs are normally mobile and can be carried by a Unique Hero unless otherwise stated in a scenario. Treat Equipment Glyphs as normal Glyphs with the following exceptions. Some scenarios may break these rules.

• 1. If the figure is a Unique Hero they can choose to pick up the Equipment Glyph by placing the Glyph on that Unique Hero's Army Card. Remember that Uncommon figures are considered Unique for all special powers and Glyphs.
• 2.The power of the Equipment Glyph is in effect while a figure carries it and it affects only the figure that is carrying it unless otherwise stated. Note: For Equipment Glyphs that have an "Area of effect" (i.e. the power text states "within X spaces"), the Glyph is considered to be positioned on the space occupied by the Hero carrying the Glyph.
• 3. At any point before, during, or after moving a Unique Hero figure carrying an Equipment Glyph that you control, you may announce that the figure is passing the Equipment Glyph to an adjacent friendly Unique Hero figure. Place the Equipment Glyph on the friendly figure's card.
• 4. A Unique Hero can only carry one Equipment Glyph at a time. If a Unique Hero you control carrying an Equipment Glyph lands on another Equipment Glyph, after activating the Glyph you may choose to replace the glyph already on the Unique Hero's card with the newly activated Glyph. Place the Glyph formerly on the Unique Hero's card power-side up onto a space the figure currently occupies.
• Dropping Equipment Glyphs: At any point during a figure's movement, you may announce that the figure is dropping an Equipment Glyph. Place the Equipment Glyph power-side up onto a space the figure currently occupies. That figure may now continue its movement. Note: You cannot drop an Equipment Glyph onto a space that already has another Glyph on it.
• Losing Equipment Glyphs: If a figure you control that is carrying an Equipment Glyph is destroyed or wounded, choose one opposing player to immediately place the Glyph power-side up on an empty space within 5 spaces of the space your figure last occupied.

GLYPH OF UTILITY: BAT SHURIKEN
(Ranged Attacks)

EQUIPMENT GLYPH
When this figure attacks with a normal attack, you may change the Range number on its Army Card to 5 and the Attack number on its Army Card to 2. After attacking normally with this Equipment Glyph, if this figure is a Vigilante with the Driven personality, this figure may attack 2 additional times with this Equipment Glyph.

Cool. So Batman is likely to get his 3 attacks of 3 with this a lot due to him using Bat Grapple Glyph to get height.

[tcglkn]

Very cool concept guys. I don't really have anything to add at this point. Fairly simple and straightforward with few perceptible issues.

[Griffin]

I can't wait for Wolverine to throw some Adamantium Shurikens.

[SirGalahad]

Probably should put the 'if' part of the last line after the first comma.

And maybe something about how these don't modify a figure's defense.

1. So this?

EQUIPMENT GLYPH
When this figure attacks with a normal attack, you may change the Range number on its Army Card to 5 and the Attack number on its Army Card to 2. After attacking normally with this Equipment Glyph, if this figure is a Vigilante with the Driven personality, this figure may attack 2 additional times with this Equipment Glyph.

2. Nowhere does this glyph let you modify a figure's defense, so I'm not sure where you're coming from on this part ... a guy like Wolverine has a power that would let him subtract from a defender's defense that would still be in effect were Wolverine to use this power, but there are lots of "oddball" combinations like that with this glyph that we all generally agreed we were "OK" with before I decided to go forward with this glyph.

[SirGalahad]

No worries - Guess I read too much into Griff's smiley.

[IAmBatman]

No worries. It was just something I thought of a lot about going forward with this design, so I wanted to make sure we're all on the same page when it comes to being OK with some of the quirkier power combos!

I could see that, but yeah, I genuinely think that Adamantium Shurikens are cool.

[IAmBatman]

SP updated with SirG's suggested wording change. I'm about to send this out to ERB and hopefully can do some testing tonight!
