Re: The Pre-SoV Workshop
I feel like if the power is going to exclude Samurai it needs a new name to make that feel more thematic and less gamey. Like IDK ‘Terror of the Honorless’ or something. Just something to convey a...

Re: The Pre-SoV Workshop
The point isn't specific examples, per se. The point is that the game is not designed to care. I can (and have, in similar arguments) come up with perfectly reasonable powers that greatly call into...

'Aegis' does seem a bit good guy to me (as the word basically just means 'protection' when you're not talking about the military system). I could see maybe A.E.G.I.S., as sort of like an... ironic...

Re: The Pre-SoV Workshop
personally, I think I'd open up the first power to any unique card and ditch the D-20 bit on the second power.

That felt clever, not a negative.
As for the Asian-or-not question, it depends on the figure. Aside from an attachment to the current name, is there any reason you don't want to change...

Possessed Fervor reads like gibberish to me. It's supposed to be giving a Hero an extra turn if that hero killed a Soul during their 'ordered' turn right?

Re: The Pre-SoV Workshop
Honestly, I'd probably just drop his normal move to 5 and then give him something like the Quickblades' Vault power. More useful, less trapped in a miasma of corner cases, still plenty thematic.

Better :up:, not final product ready, but I can get the gist of it now. The main problem before was it was saying 'instead of your normal move' and that it had a 'move of 3', but then it also...

Frankly, I can barely decipher your power wording. Is Running Jump just supposed to be a 'flying' move of 3 with a straight line limitation? Or are you trying to say something like : 'move 3 spaces...

Re: The Pre-SoV Workshop
"Destroyed figures on this Army Card" should work; could get weird depending on what comes down the pipeline later, but I can't imagine you'd get away with directly referencing 'spirits'.

The 'special attack' part isn't going to fly in VC I'd wager, that's just pushing the game in weird ways.

Re: The Pre-SoV Workshop
Lots of things weren't phrases that ever occurred in Heroscape, until they did. If you have to break new ground, you break new ground. I fully support version one.
