Thoughts
I like the blue version of By the Gods. Red versions of the others. 300 is a nice fun number that even ties back to Greek mythos. (Sparta story isn't exactly mythos but it evokes that feel)

@Dysole
I guesstimated him at 295. 300 as a Spartan Warrior is a fun reference. I can dig the 5pts.

Result: Key differences underlined for your convenience: VENGEANCE OF KRATOS (A) x4 When Kratos attacks, if he rolls at least two skulls, he may attack one additional time. Kratos may continue attacking until he doesn’t roll at least two skulls to a maximum of three additional times. VENGEANCE OF KRATOS (B) x2 When rolling attack dice for a normal or special attack, if Kratos rolls at least two skulls, Kratos may attack one additional time with a normal or special attack. Kratos may continue attacking with normal or special attacks until he doesn’t roll at least two skulls to a maximum of three additional times. VENGEANCE OF KRATOS (C) x2 If Kratos is attacking and rolls at least two skulls, he may attack one additional time. Kratos may continue attacking until he doesn’t roll at least two skulls to a maximum of three additional times. VENGEANCE OF KRATOS (D) x2 After attacking with Kratos’ normal or special attack, if he rolled at least two skulls, you may attack again with Kratos’ normal or special attack. You may continue attacking with Kratos’ normal or special attacks until he doesn’t roll at least two skulls to a maximum of 4 times. VENGEANCE OF KRATOS (E) X1 Each time Kratos attacks, if he rolls at least two skulls, he may attack one additional time to a maximum of three additional times. VENGEANCE OF KRATOS (F) X1 When attacking with Kratos, if Kratos rolls at least two skulls, you may attack one additional time with Kratos. You may continue attacking with Kratos until he doesn’t roll at least two skulls to a maximum of three additional times. VENGEANCE OF KRATOS (G) X1 When Kratos attacks, he may attack up to 4 times. Reduce the number of times Kratos can attack by 1 each time he rolls fewer than two skulls. CUSTOM TECH TALK Figures roll attack dice. Players roll 20-sided dice. While VOK (A) has the most hits and would be an acceptable choice, I appreciate (E)'s use of fewer words and prefer (E) more for it. VENGEANCE OF KRATOS Each time Kratos attacks, if he rolls at least two skulls, he may attack one additional time to a maximum of three additional times. VENGEANCE OF KRATOS (E2) Each time Kratos attacks, if he rolls two skulls or more, he may attack one additional time to a maximum of three additional times. VENGEANCE OF KRATOS (E3) Each time Kratos attacks, if he rolls more than one skull, he may attack one additional time to a maximum of three additional times.

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
VENGEANCE OF KRATOS took a lot of time, but it was worth it, what interesting turns
Moving on to BLADES OF EXILE Quote:
Quote:
The final difference is the number added to Kratos' Range value if opponent's figures are nearby but not adjacent. @TREX underlined the number in question. Mine says 2 his says 3. His 3 was left over from my original wording where the special power had a Range of 4. It has since been reduced to 3 spaces, meaning the number drops to adding 2 as in my version. Base 1+X=3; X=2. BLADES OF EXILE If an opponent's figure is within 3 spaces of Kratos, and its base is no more than 4 levels above Kratos's height or 4 levels below Kratos's base, Kratos may add 2 to his Range when attacking that figure with a normal attack. |

Don't see how terrain can negate Blades of Exile. Otherwise if we include the line, we'll need Gladiatron wording. I don't like it but with that wording it's harder to fight it. Range 3 Reach means we need a 2 instead of a 3 yeah.
~Dysole, pretty sure we're close to done here |

Other than that I think Kratos is looking good. Now where are we at with the Godly Treasure Glyphs? |

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
Currently, Blades Of Exile is just Reach 2. The wording is exactly the same except +2 vs +1. The reason why clear sight isn't needed is because normal combat rules still apply. He cannot attack nonadjacent figures when engaged for example.
I was thinking of yet another variation to play with for By The Gods to utilize the official "to a maximum of" phrasing to cut word use. Quote:
@McHotcakes I'm fine either way on it as I can see both arguments. |
Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
Ok, I just updated my previous post to reflect the latest concerns. I changed the By the Gods to your newest version
@Confred
. It looks the same with less text. The only concern is how it is written, people may be confused about dropping the glyphs when he dies and goes to tartarus.
