Re: [AotV] UNIT NAME (Glyph of Recall) - Pod 0 - Design
 

For the sake of getting a fuller vision of the set, here is a list of the other glyphs that we'll be using, provided by @flameslayer93 :

• Move +2
• Attack +1
• Defense +1
• Healing

These are all very straightforward to transfer to normal HeroScape rules, so they aren't a part of our design process right now, but I think that they're still pertinent to the discussion around creating glyphs.

Something worth noting for Recall is that the symbol seems to be evoking a grave. There's certainly some room to interpret this symbol as other things, but it's worth keeping in mind.

Could be the squad equivalent of Kelda. When you land on Recall, you may choose a previously destroyed Squad figure you control and place it adjacent to the figure that landed on the glyph.

I like a squad version of that, yes.

Re: [AotV] UNIT NAME (Glyph of Recall) - Pod 0 - Design
 

I'm also fond of reviving a squad figure. I'd be a little concerned about reviving some of the Unique Squad figures like the Marro Warriors, but that could be playtested to be sure.

If it’s a one-time deal, or has limited charges, I don’t see a problem.

I'm fine with a temporary glyph to revive one squad figure. It's pretty bad for some armies and stronger for others, but so is Kelda.

Guess it's time to go back to the revival powers for all of the squad designs. ;)

Imo, if we are willing to fully heal 200+ point units we can handle bringing back a felled squaddie (assuming this is a limited power lol).

Re: [Pod 0] UNIT NAME (Glyph of Recall) - Pod 0 - Design
 

Well we do have Kelda 2.0, so we technically have 2 temp glyphs. ;)

But yeah, I’ll be happy to toss the concensus of both glyphs into their OP’s.

Re: [Pod 0] UNIT NAME (Glyph of Recall) - Pod 0 - Design
 

My stab at official sounding wording:
"When figure you control lands on this Glyph, choose any squad with at least one figure destroyed (yours, a teammate's or an opponent's) and place a destroyed figure on the space with the Glyph of Recall."

Again, maybe the parenthesis should be removed and instead "choose any squad..." should be changed to "choose any squad you control..." but I like it is definitely possible for team games and for some reason an opponent - I can't really think of a reason why other than adding insult to injury, or a deterrent for if you do not have a squad figure destroyed but your opponent does (unless we want to add "you may" before "choose...") Also does there need to be contingencies in wording for when no squad figure is destroyed (Kelda does)?

Glyph best with Calvary and Kyrie squads and they need more help so I like it.
