The Book of Upside-down Man

[tcglkn]

Additional requirements is really vague, you could argue that he gets to draft spells without paying their point cost then.

[IAmBatman]

I’m not sure if it’s fully clear what “additional requirements” means. I guess *I* know. Not sure if it is Rules Lawyer proof or not, though.

Edit: It is not

[Lord Pyre]

"Upsidedown Man may draft or cast any Spell cards as though he has any Special Powers, Class, or Species listed on the Spell Cards." ?

[Shiftrex]

Thankyou! I think that definitely communicates the goal. I dont want him drafting spells for free.

[MrNobody]

I think we might need to define the “place under the army card” mechanic a bit better. Dos the card go on the bottom of the deck?

[Tornado]

Thanks Nobody, was thinking the same thing and forgot to mention it.

[Shiftrex]

Here is my attempt at polishing that and trying to save some card space, I dont think that having Disengage is really needed on this guy, unless I'm wrong:

TRUE MAGIC
Upside-down Man may draft or cast any Spell cards as though he has any Special Powers, Class, or Species listed on the Spell Cards. Upside-down Man never receives wounds from spells he casts. While Upside-down Man is on the battlefield, whenever a Spell Card would be removed from the game, you may instead place this card in the Upside-down Deck. Cards are always added to the bottom of this deck.

UPSIDEDOWN CRUELTY
Whenever Upside-down Man passes over a wounded figure, you may roll an unblockable attack die against the chosen figure. If you roll a skull, take the top Spell Card from the Upside-down Deck and add it to your army.

Unsure. It's just a stab at it but I don't know if it complicates things or solves them by designating a deck.

[Arch-vile]

A deck is a good idea. I think you can simplify it further by stating "you may instead place this card at the bottom of his Upside-down Deck.

[Shiftrex]

That seems pretty straight forward to me, the cards that would be removed from the game may instead go to the Upside-down deck. Is it specific enough at this point or does it require more definition?

NAME = UPSIDE-DOWN MAN
SECRET IDENTITY = n/a

SPECIES = OTHERKIND
UNIQUENESS = EVENT HERO
CLASS = TORMENTOR
PERSONALITY = MALEVOLENT

SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5

LIFE = 13

MOVE = 6
RANGE = 1
ATTACK = 7
DEFENSE = 4

POINTS = 705

UPSIDEDOWN CRUELTY
Upside-down Man is never attacked when leaving an engagement. Whenever Upside-down Man passes over a wounded figure, you may roll an unblockable attack die against the chosen figure. If you roll a skull, take the top Spell Card from the Upside-down Deck and add it to your army.

LIVING MAGIC
After Upside-down Man casts a spell instead of attacking normally, he may immediately attack with his normal attack one time.

MAGICAL DEFENSE
When Upside-down Man is attacked by an opponent's figure that does not have the Magical Defense special power, the most wounds Upside-down Man can take for this attack is one.

SUPER STRENGTH

FLYING

That's looking pretty good.

[IAmBatman]

I don’t think this line accomplishes anything necessary: “ While Upside-down Man is on the battlefield,”

Also might be cool to take advantage of it being a deck and have players shuffle it into the deck.

[Shiftrex]

I can remove that line, seems easy enough. Do I need to make any additional instruction or just say to "shuffle it into his upside-down deck." ?
