I'm *pretty* sure the blue bit was something that was planned to be removed?

[japes]

That is not the way I have ever played Turtle power. That's a significant change actually and not for the better.

The original even says "One at a time"

[IAmBatman]

I always do them one at a time too. I guess the advantage of doing them one at a time is you can see the results of the activation before choosing to make the next.

That’s how I’ve always parsed the 1.0 Turtle Power too. My thinking was that burning all the OMs at once makes it way simpler to do something like the April OM burn effect, where you want an OM to be somewhere else in the middle of the Turtle Power. I don’t think it’s a huge mechanical change, there’s nothing that locks you into activating the Turtles in a particular order? I guess it stops you from deciding halfway through a Turtle Power if you want to keep activating Turtles, but I’m not sure how often that comes up?

But we are moving away from that direction on April, so I don’t think there’s a hige immediate need to change it if we like the way it operates in 1.0. It just seemed like an easy hook to hang future synergy/mechanics on.

OR we can just make April and SPlinter's thing be worded so that it triggers at the end of the turn....problem solved. Since that's my intention anyways...not to burn more OM on that first turn. But to have some contingency/backup later in the round.

Leo only lets you burn 4 on a turn anyway. April’s timing was only relevant if you were using her OM for a d20 boost.

Even that...with wording it so she doesn't get the OM until after the turn...means she couldn't use it.

Which also sucks since you guys are telling me the way to go is full TP on turn 1...so...when would she be using that OM to boost a d20? But that's a April issue not Leo

[IAmBatman]

I think we are cutting that bit on her, so it’s irrelevant

right...so I'm pushing to keep it as 1.0 was where you can do them one at a time. If I end up defeating the only figure in range I can save those OM for later rather than oops...Raph went crazy and killed everyone so too bad everyone else.

[MrNobody]

Cool, sounds like we can bin that change!

What happens if TP ends your turn after all the Turtles go, but you activated Mikey last and he Cowabungas? Does the "end your turn" cancel out Cowabunga? Cause we wouldn't want that I don't think.

[IAmBatman]

Probably should shift to you may not activate additional figures language

[japes]

Can we get the OP updated here with what the final decision is?
