Re: The Book of Shadow Demon - Design Phase
NAME = SHADOW DEMON
SPECIES = QWARDIAN UNIQUENESS = UNCOMMON HERO CLASS = DESTROYER PERSONALITY = DEADLY SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5 LIFE = 3 MOVE = 5 RANGE = 1 ATTACK = 3 DEFENSE = 6 POINTS = 130 SWARM OF SHADOWS After revealing an Order Marker on any other Qwardian Hero or squad you control, before taking a turn with that Army Card, you may move this Shadow Demon up to 2 spaces. INTANGIBILITY This Shadow Demon can move through all figures, Fortress Walls, and obstacles, and is never attacked when leaving an engagement. This Shadow Demon cannot be targeted by opponents' non-adjacent figures for any attacks or for any opponents' special powers that require clear sight. TOUCH OF DEATH 15 Before attacking with this Shadow Demon, one at a time for each Shadow Demon you control, you may choose an adjacent figure and roll the 20-sided die. If you roll 15-19, the chosen figure receives one wound. If you roll 20 or higher, the chosen figure receives three wounds. FLYING |

Re: The Book of Shadow Demon - Design Phase
Mechanically it all seems fine, they just seem more powerful then I picture them in my head.
You don't think it's too quirky to be bonding with the likes of Cyborg Superman, Doomsday, Ultron or [redacted]? [redacted] I think is a fine fit & don't see an issue with but the others do kind of seem a little too quirky. :shrug: |

Subscribed. No time to comment as I have to playtest while I can. :)

For Touch of Death 15, could there be an issue with the Shadow Demon "engaging" multiple figures during its normal move or Swarm of Shadows move, thus allowing multiple opportunities to roll for TOD15 during its move? There is no limit, so it could roll for TOD each time it engages a figure during its move. Maybe something like this? Quote:

Re: The Book of Shadow Demon - Design Phase
Good notes, Hahma. I'll definitely make that change after the breathing period to end the exploit. :up:
A3n, the intent of them bonding with Destroyer Heroes was to let them bond with each other, Anti-Monitor, and Thunderers of Qward. Since they come from the Anti-Matter Universe, and Cyborg Superman is a Yellow Lantern, that one doesn't feel too terrible. The others I chalk up to being about the same as Punisher bonding with Robin or Flash getting extra protection for Invisible Woman. :shrug: Edit: And in the comics, they were mostly swarming fodder, but they could instantly kill and were a bit tough to get rid of. I think this represents that somewhat well (hard to hit, but only 3 life, not great attackwise, but can swarm and do D20 damage). |

Re: The Book of Shadow Demon - Design Phase
Any thoughts on the cost here? I'm wondering if it's not a little too high currently. That said, I wonder if I shouldn't try to make them any tougher, just because the figure is so rare.
A3n seemed to have the impression that they weren't very tough though, so maybe not? Thoughts/opinions, especially from folks who've read Crisis on Infinite Earths? |
Re: The Book of Shadow Demon - Design Phase
I have no idea about these guys thematically, as I haven't read anything with them. :shrug:
Cost-wise is kind of tricky. They do have 6 defense and can't be hit from distance. Getting to move them with a Destroyer is nice in not having to put OM's on them and give the opponent something nasty to be pre-occupied with (the Destroyer), which can allow these guys to engage and have a chance of auto wounding or even killing, especially if there's a unit in their army that can boost their d20 roll. If they activate on their own, maybe have the X on them when they are activated by the Destroyer most of the time and them switheroo to give them an OM to get them to reach an unsuspecting opponent's figure. Really hard to know until testing though. Auto-kills are tough though and should be priced with err on the high side rather than too low. |
