NAME = GLYPH OF INFINITY: SPACE GEM
SUBTITLE = TELEPORTATION

EQUIPMENT GLYPH
Instead of taking a turn with this figure, you may choose up to two figures within 2 clear sight spaces of this figure and place this figure on any unoccupied space on the battlefield. After placing this figure, place the chosen figures adjacent to this figure. Figures moved by this Glyph will not take any leaving engagement attacks.

They're all together now but I'll split these out into separate threads when they're done.

Good stuff Q

Re: The Book of the other 5 Infinity Gems: Design
 

Soul Gem seems sort of odd to me... not a huge fan of that one. Otherwise looks good.

Re: The Book of the other 5 Infinity Gems: Design
 

Should this be a "you may" power so as to not be in conflict with Ghost Rider? After taking the revived turn, should it be "remove from the game" instead of "destroy" so the figure cannot be continually revived?


Will you be able to rearrange revealed OMs as well? This could affect some
figures drastically (like Captain America).

No issues

Yikes -- 16 attacks from the Hired Guns, 4 Hero turns in a Prof X build. This one will be a powerful one.

And then they still get to attack? So a melee figure with this glyph could choose to teleport itself and an opponent's figure(s) far away from the action and then make its attack(s)?

Re: The Book of the other 5 Infinity Gems: Design
 

Nothing wrong with your Time write-up, but I've always thought a neat "wow factor" approach would be the ability to re-start a turn after its conclusion, (or perhaps even the game?) nerfing all effects that transpired during that time.

Might be overly ambitious, but if it's doable I think it would be really exciting.

Re: The Book of the other 5 Infinity Gems: Design
 

I'd be very interested in a "turn reset" Glyph if feasible... I feel like keeping track of where everyone was at the start of what may be multiple activations would be a huge pain though.

Re: The Book of the other 5 Infinity Gems: Design
 

Soul gem is a bit crazy, most of the others are okay.

For the Power Gem, should they only get the +2 to adjacent figures? Does it boost their powers, or just their physical strength?

The Time Gem I don't think will be that big of a problem. Prof. X must use an OM as far as I remember, to take the turns. Otherwise we could just basically add bonding to whoever has the gem, which would solve many problems. After taking a turn with this figure, you may take a turn with any other figure/card/whatever you control.

Re: The Book of the other 5 Infinity Gems: Design
 

Great stuff, quozl! I really like how the timing of each of these is spread out so well: Beginning of Turn, After attacking, While attacking, After turn, Instead of moving normally. And the Mind Gem is passive, of course. This will make it slightly less painful for one unit to potentially combine them all with the Infinity Gauntlet.

I'm in favor of both the "you may" and the removed from the game aspect (which fits Thanos as well). :up:


Good call. I think this should be unrevealed OMs only. :up:

For ease of testing, I'd prefer to see the extra turn just work for "this figure." That said, as LP mentions, Prof X only can use Mutant Mind Link after revealing a numbered Order Marker on his card. :-)

I wouldn't mind seeing this restricted somehow. Maybe once per round? Or instead of moving and attack normally? We have to keep in mind that the true test of these will be how they are all combined.

I have an idea for a figure doing something like this. :-) PM me if you're interested.

It riff off of an official power (I forget which - DnD era). I like the idea of using it to control a figure's "soul" and "ghost" them for a turn. It's a fun idea that helps differentiate that gem from the others.

I suppose if we wanted to keep it really simple, we could just have some sort of life boost for the figure holding the glyph, but I'm not pushing for that change or anything.

Looking at the bio, I'd say it boosts both their strength level and their actual powers, so adjacent and ranged both should be boosted, I'd think.

Re: The Book of the other 5 Infinity Gems: Design
 

Thanks, guys. It's a bit crazy doing 5 of these at once but I agree with most of Bats' post which sums up the changes needed pretty well. Soul gem riffs off an artifact glyph from a D&D wave that brings back a dead hero to make an attack.

As for Space Gem, why do you see a need for restricting it? The figure has to not move and already be within 2 spaces of the figures to teleport them.

Re: The Book of the other 5 Infinity Gems: Design
 

I got nothing to add that SirG or Bats didn't cover. Overall the idea behind each is solid.
