Thanks dok, that's what I figured.

As to a third power (replacing Counter Strike), it looks like we've got a lot of options. I'm going to put them together in a (sort of) poll. Feel free to vote on either just your favorite or all of the ones you support.

OPTION #1:
Engulf with a lower roll, encouraging Sunfire to engage

Spoiler Alert!

ENGULF 10
Before moving with Sunfire, you may roll the 20-sided die once for each opponent's figure without the Lava Resistant special power adjacent to Sunfire. If you roll 10 or higher, that figure receives one wound.

OPTION #2:
Engulf with a higher roll, making engagement not quite as enticing for Sunfire

Spoiler Alert!

ENGULF 15
Before moving with Sunfire, you may roll the 20-sided die once for each opponent's figure without the Lava Resistant special power adjacent to Sunfire. If you roll 15 or higher, that figure receives one wound.

OPTION #3:
Basic Engagement Strike, to discourage either player from engaging

Spoiler Alert!

ENGAGEMENT STRIKE 14
If an opponent's small or medium figure moves adjacent to Sunfire, roll the 20-sided die. If you roll 14 or higher, the opponent's figure receives one wound. Figures may be targeted only as they move into engagement with Sunfire.

OPTION #4:
A fire-themed Engagement Strike, to discourage either player from engaging

Spoiler Alert!

ENGAGEMENT BURN 16
If an opponent's small or medium figure moves adjacent to Sunfire, roll the 20-sided die. If you roll 16 or higher, the opponent's figure receives one wound and you may roll again for Engagement Burn on that figure. Figures may be initially targeted only as they move into engagement with Sunfire.

OPTION #5:
Raining Fire from Firefly's card, to encourage Sunfire to play a hit-and-run strategy and to avoid getting locked down

Spoiler Alert!

RAINING FIRE
After Sunfire moves with the Flying special power, instead of attacking, you may roll one unblockable attack die against each figure Sunfire passed over that does not have the Lava Resistant special power.

OPTION #6:
Some other power, preferably fire-themed (insert your suggestion)

OPTION #7:
None of the above, just leave him as a 2-power card


I'm currently leaning towards #3, 4 or 5, but I like all of the options well-enough.
