Blackest Night needs to specify unique figures at least for the taking control of part.

I believe there was discussion of a more gimped version of Blackest Night on the lower-ranking Black Lanterns.

I'd like to see their Range drop as well. Either to 3 or all the way down to 1, as necessary. Stats might be worth tweaking a bit down the line but testing will show that.

What makes you want to see the range dropped? I don't feel 4 isn't that long of a Range, but I'm not opposed to tweaking it if you have a good reason.

Also, I seem to remember the rings coming specifically from Black Hand, Nekron, or Scar (the Guardian)...? Although for them I'd probably change it to whenever a figure is destroyed within X clear sight spaces, and possibly add the Black Lantern stipulation if need-be.

The first black power rings possess no charge, but each time a Black Lantern kills someone and removes their heart, .01 percent power is restored to every ring in the Corps.[8][43] In Blackest Night #3, Indigo-1 solidifies this theme by explaining that those who rise feed off emotion. Even at low power levels, black rings enable their user to fly and create black energy constructs. They are also unaffected by magic.[25] In "classic" zombie fashion, the bite of a Black Lantern induces a slow-acting necrosis that eventually turns the victim into a fellow Black Lantern. It's unknown if this power can work on any living being, or only those characters who have been reanimated from death before (such as Superman, Green Arrow, and Donna Troy).[44][....] In addition to the abilities granted to them by the rings, Black Lanterns retain any skills and superpowers they may have had in life.

• Place a black Power Marker from this card on that enemy figure's card if it is Unique, take control of that figure and that figure's Army Card, and remove any Order Markers and all but two Wound Markers on that Army Card. If all black Power Markers are removed from the affected figure's Army Card, that figure returns to the player who originally controlled it.

That work?
