With Aang designed, I figured we might as well make an Avatar workshop. Feel free to post your ideas here.

One idea I had is to group Team Avatar around a single power that gives them synergy with each other and Aang. Each of the Gaang feels like they'd have a different class and personality, so there's no easy leftbox synergy hook.

And here is a basic idea for Sokka. He has a synergy power for Team Avatar, a power repping his boomerang, and a crazy strategy type power.

Re: Avatar: The Last Airbender public workshop
 

Sorry, meant to comment here earlier.

Anyway, dig the overall idea, few thoughts:

Team Avatar currently has a bit of anti-synergy going with Aang. Pretty much all his SA options want him to be taking the first turn in sequence, but that's the one thing you can't do right now. I'd do it more like a sidekick style thing:

"After revealing an Order Marker on the card of another figure that is an Avatar or has the Team Avatar special power and taking a turn with that figure, you may take a turn with Sokka. You may not take any additional turns."

This also lets you put OMs on Aang and get bonding with his squishier friends instead of having to risk losing the OMs by having them on the weaker figure (though admittedly not as big an issue with people not Sokka).


Improvised Plan is cool. Pretty strong effect, especially when you can do bonding before or after it. But Sokka being squishy and only once a round probably balance it out.

Is the idea that you're picking either enemies next to Sokka or picking one figure you control and then picking enemies next to them? Or that you could mix and match and pick one enemy next to Sokka and one next to Aang and one next to Katara as long as Aang and Katara are within 5 spaces of Sokka?

I'd probably switch the targeted figures from engaged to just adjacent. That way Sokka can knock trees down on people and such should the opportunity arise. You don't get anything out of hitting friendlies with it, so that's not a big deal.

Making Team Avatar into a sidekick thing makes a lot of sense. :up:

Reading Improvised Plan again, I struggle to see my theme for it. :lol: I like the idea of simplifying down to what you suggest. The basic idea was Sokka doing something wacky and his friends taking advantage of that to regroup.

Edit - Something like this is a bit more clear and makes the power a little riskier.

You guys have any ideas for Toph? Here's what I've got so far ;

Radar Sense could also work instead of Blind Warrior, but I'm leaning BW. For Master Earthbending, Earth Armor is just Aang's Earth element but a little better. The 2nd effect should probably be something offense,but I'm not sure what. Maybe "attack one additional time, and roll an additional die if targeting the same figure". I'm mostly thinking of when Earthbenders yeet a bunch of boulders at someone with an effect like that. Or instead, maybe something to synergize with Sokka's Improvised Plan?

Re: Avatar: The Last Airbender public workshop
 

That’s a solid draft. Some other ideas: maybe convert a blank to a hit (similar to Bunker’s brick power), maybe lock someone down by reducing their movement (to represent her putting earth around an enemy’s feet. Could add a movement thing too since she’s often “surfing” on earth with bending. The double attack idea is solid too.

Re: Avatar: The Last Airbender public workshop
 

I like the sound of doing something with movement, either locking down an enemy or something with rock surfing. Going off of Aang and your Sokka draft, it seems like the team could focus pretty hard on movement manipulation, which sounds cool.

I would guess Katara would have some sort of ice bending, so maybe giving her the lock down and Toph something like "next time you move Toph adjacent to an enemy, roll an unblockable". That lets her work with Improvised Plan pretty well.

Re: Avatar: The Last Airbender public workshop
 

Oh and Sokka isn’t locked in stone or anything, so I’m happy with whatever direction for him. But I think it’s a great idea to focus on mechanical synergy for sure.

Re: Avatar: The Last Airbender public workshop
 

Could do something about shields equaling hits or something. Seems pretty Earthy.

Re: Avatar: The Last Airbender public workshop
 

Here's my idea for Katara. Being a water bender, she should be fairly terrain dependent, but giving the bonus if she's within 2 spaces of one of three different terrain types gives her more flexibility than most terrain dependent figures.

Re: Avatar: The Last Airbender public workshop
 

That healing power is pretty solid.

I have an On Deck figure that has a power that might interest you unless you are just looking for a SA here...

TERRA MANIPULATION 2
Start the game with 2 Small Rock Outcrop Destructible Objects on this card. Instead of moving, you may place up to two Small Rock Outrcrops on this card on any empty space within 5 spaces of xxx. Instead of attacking, you may destroy a Small Rock Outcrop within 5 spaces of xxx. Whenever a Small Rock Outcrop from this card is destroyed, place it on this card. xxxx never takes damage from the Crumble special power.
