Re: [Pod 1] PYRIA (Chandra Nalaar, Pyromancer) - Editing

I changed the wording to allow her to draw only a single line if desired, in case she was surrounded by friendlies. I didn't think she was that uncontrollable that she would blast her own in that case.

Quote:
TWIN FLAMETHROWERS SPECIAL ATTACK
Range Special. Attack 4.
Choose one or two straight lines from Pyria, each 3 spaces long. All figures on those spaces who are in line of sight are affected by Pyria’s Twin Flamethrower Special Attack. Roll 4 attack dice for all affected figures. Affected figures roll defense dice separately.
Suggested R&Cs:
Quote:
Q: Can Pyria choose the same three spaces for both Twin Flamethrower lines and affect figures on them twice?
A: No.
The lines but be in different directions.

Q: If Pyria is adjacent to a double-spaced figure and hits that figure with both Twin Flamethrower lines, is that figure attacked twice?
A: No. Figures affected by Twin Flamethrowers are only hit once, even if they are impacted by multiple lines.

Q: What order to the figures roll defensive dice?
A: In both lines, the figures closest to Pyria must roll defense first. The attack decides which line happens first.
General Checklist:

1. Are we recycling a unit name? No

2. Are we recycling a power name? No

3. If we are reusing an existing power, is the wording exactly the same? N/A

4. What happens when the powers are negated (Rod of Negation, Exploit Weakness)? If affected by Rod of Negation, she could not use Twin Flamethrowers. Exploit Weakness has no effect. Do any powers continue to have effects after being negated? No Is this clear from the wording?

5. Should the powers affect destructible objects? As a special attack, Twin Flamethrowers does affect destructible objects.

6. Do any of the powers unintentionally synergize with other players' units? No

7. Do the powers allow turn stacking? No

8. Are any of the powers conditional on a future event? No Is that future event inevitable or avoidable?

9. Does it have a d20 power? No If is a small, medium, or large Hero, how does it interact with Mystic Sacrifice? If it is Tricky, how does it interact with Queen of Thieves? If it is Undead, how does it interact with Curse of the Mummy?

10. Do the powers create out-of-turn attacks? No

11. Are any powers conditional on the source of damage? No

12. Are any powers expected to work after all figures have been destroyed? No If so, is that clearly worded? How does it interact with revivals, via Glyph of Sturla or otherwise?

13. Do any powers that decrease attack or defense dice introduce a new minimum value (other than zero)? N/A

14. Do any powers change a Range value from 3 or less to 4 or greater or vice versa? No

15. Do any powers act unexpectedly in multiplayer games? No

16. Do any powers place other figures on this card? No If so, how does it interact with other place-on-card powers (Animated Materiel, Cling, Dwarven Gunners, Warriors Armor Spirit, Warriors Attack Spirit, Warrior's Swiftness Spirit, Necromancy)?

17. Does a power trigger off of an Order Marker being revealed on another Army Card? No If so, is the power expected to trigger if all figures associated with that Army Card have been destroyed?

18. Is it clear which powers are mandatory and which are optional? Twin Flamethrowers is optional since it is a special attack.

19. How do the powers interact with the Marro Hive? Even if affected by multiple lines, Twin Flamethrowers would only affect the Marro Hive once.

20. If the unit is a Soulborg squad who follows Jandar, how do the powers interact with Directed Fire? N/A

21. Does any power's name or wording unintentionally prohibit the power's reusability? No

22. Does the text fit reasonably well on a card? Yes Use this tool to check: https://www.heroscapers.com/xorlof/x2cc.
