Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

Do we want to keep it opponent's Wizards or open it to any Wizard so she could feasibly pod with Wizards such as Elves?

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

Regarding Points. I don't think we need to make her 60 so the pod is 300 even because they should each have Mounts no? Mounts + 3 heroes = 500 (400)?

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

I am leaning more towards 'opponent's Wizards'.
Would love to see the horses/mounts. They would have to negate falling damage. :)

Steam Link updated to reflect changes

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

Well She negates the falling damage.

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

True

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

For a mini are we going to use the one from the set we used for Ookla or we going to use something else?

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

Not sure why the Attack boost is for 7 spaces if her range is only 5.

Checkin
 

Does someone have a mockup of the current version? I've had 500 things on my hands and just now got around to this.

~Dysole, queryingly

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

Some Wizards have Range greater than 5.

I'm not bound to 7.

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

Design set to expire on Sept. 17
Next designer is @Sir Yeshua
Next after that is @Zetsubo

Left to do:
Define enhancement Range
Define Points
Playtest

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

I am cool with 5 for Range and power range.
Where does that put us with the current version?

Not sure on points.

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

Anyone else?

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

I think this is kind of where we are at this point.

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

I think I like the left block, the right block and the powers. This is a fitting character for what I remember and plays pretty well. Is 60 the price point we want her at?

Power Update
 

Should be:

"When an opponent's figure within 5 clear sight spaces..."


I think she's worth 75 just theoryscaping it. 5/5/5/4 with 5 life in her best matchup is really good and that's ignoring the other two powers. In her worst matchup 5/5/3/2 with some useful cheerleading is still at least worth as much as what James Murphy brings to the table.

~Dysole, with her cents worth

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

That sounds reasonable.

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

Just a suggestion:
Instead of just posting the card, also post the power text to make editing easier.

ENERGY BRIDGE
When Ariel or a friendly figure within 5 clear sight spaces of Ariel moves ...

Remove 2nd "and" in line 4

MAGE POWER
"of an opponent's Mage..."
Remove "figure"
Remove "both"
"values"

ENERGY RINGS
"When an opponent's figure within 5 clear sight spaces..."
Remove comma after "spaces" , add "of Ariel"

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

Looking better.
Maybe drop her Life to 4 if we want her at 60?
I could see dropping her Attack to 2 as well.
She is not usually super offensive.

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

Life 5 still I think
Attack 2 sounds good.

Points 70?

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

ENERGY BRIDGE
Ariel and friendly figures may ignore all effects of terrain within 5 spaces of Ariel. Affected figures do not roll for falling damage.

WIZARD POWER
If Ariel is within 5 clear sight spaces of an opponent's Wizard figure, add 2 to her Attack and Defense values.

ENERGY RINGS
If an opponent's figure within 5 clear sight spaces attacks Ariel or a friendly Barbarian or Gladiator within 5 clear sight spaces of Ariel, you may reveal and remove an X order marker that is on this card to immediately end the turn.

Life 5
Attack 2
Points 70

Wizard Power is a placeholder name. Opinions on class range? Just wizard? or add Mage, Archmage also? What about Warlock, Witch, Warwitch, Sorcerer, Sorceress, Shaman, where should it end?

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

I think just Wizard to keep it simple.
Maybe Wizard Rivalry?
Wizard Rival

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

Don't forget Battlemage ;)

I think we should say Wizards and leave it at that. Unless we want to write up the Mages from the cartoon; then we can say Wizards and Mages.

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

I like Wizard Rival

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

Looks good.

Now to playtest

I'll get Steam link updated for Tabletop Simulator

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

Awesome

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

I'll be trying her out next week at the Brooklyn scape date with the NYC Gang of 4.

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

Very cool. Tell the Gang I said hello.

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

Thundarr the Barbarian
Ookla the Mok
Ariel the Princess?

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

I think I prefer just Ariel but open to the bonus title.

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

Left to do:
Playtest
Confirm play true to character
Confirm Points
Confirm power names

Design set to expire on Sept. 17
Next designer is @Sir Yeshua

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

Princess sounds good - all three will be something The something.

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

He-man Clash for Eternia! Lots of great minis.

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

Leaving for Gen Con tomorrow.
I can run Ariel through some tests when I get back.
Did you get a chance to run her Taeblewalker?

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

Yes at @chas house. Her powers didn't come into play often, but Energy Rings made an epic show when she stopped Quahon from attacking Thundarr and Ookla. She seemed to be worth her points. In the right build, she is better than Raelin at protecting her teammates, at least once per round with the X Order Marker. If you have custom rules for allowing more than one X (like the Glyph of Loki that was my entry in @Hex_Enduction_Hour 's custom glyph contest), she would be even more powerful.

EDIT: There were no Wizards in the game, so she didn't realize her full potential. Still, at 70 points she was worth drafting.

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

I hope the power is a flavor bonus, not a feel bad for when it doesn't happen.
She should be good enough, perhaps slightly overcosted without the power, and funbutter when it's active

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

Totally stealing funbutter.

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

So besides adding Princess to Ariel's title are we changing anything else

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

I don't think so. She is meant as a counter draft against Wizards to a point, but her other powers are a good complement to your army if you have Barbarians and Gladiators, even if your opponent doesn't have Wizards. I think she's fine as she is. Simply put, don't draft her unless you also draft Thundarr and Ookla and/or if your opponent is fielding Wizards.

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

Which, I believe is acceptable?

Today is vote due date
My goal is to knock out unrelated workload and get a playtest in
Three thumbs up to approve design

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

:thumbsup:

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

Thumbs up :D

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

Hate/love to be a stickler but rules be rules, literally needs to be thumbs emoji

Two ups extends vote deadline to Sunday. I finished my major commitments, moving to Tabletop Simulator to get in a test

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

ENERGY RINGS (Current)
If an opponent's figure within 5 clear sight spaces attacks Ariel or a friendly Barbarian or Gladiator within 5 clear sight spaces of Ariel, you may reveal and remove an X order marker that is on this card to immediately end the turn.

ENERGY RINGS (variant - immediately - moved forward)
If an opponent's figure within 5 clear sight spaces attacks Ariel or a friendly Barbarian or Gladiator within 5 clear sight spaces of Ariel, you may immediately reveal and remove an X order marker that is on this card to end the turn.

I used to be able to cite any power on a dime - Forgot where I got the placement for "immediately" : but when playing against Warforged Soldiers, we wondered the timing. If the immediately were moved forward, it would be pretty clear when

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

The change looks good.

Re: Heroes of Fiction: Design Thread
 

After a playtest, a single test mind you, she couldn't scratch the Warforged Resolve, but even solo her powers feel like they're saucy yet appropriate. Bridge moves over snow, value magnifies with friendlies. Rings 1x every round are powerful, even more so when friendlies added in - but they aren't everything (which is good).
Butter is real.

My note before vote is placement of "immediately" in Energy Rings
