The Book of Void

[LordVenoc]

The double attack element feels weird in the wording on Infini tendrils.

Would it be good practice to get in the habit of the codrafting switch rules having you actually designate that figure as the switch at the start? Then you avoid the potential confusion of any future Crossover Sentry being present with original Sentry.

[johnny139]

Double attack wording is probably unorthodox, but it works and is clean, so I don't mind it. Could probably dig for a more consistent one, though.

"Personality" in the first power shouldn't be capitalized, though. Yea once that's fixed.

[MrNobody]

Fixed the capitalization. Would a more consistent double attack wording look something more like Shield Throw SA or something similar?

[LordVenoc]

Shield Throw sounds like a good comparison.

Yea

[Soundwarp SG-1]

Kinda convoluted and hard to follow for me, but he seems ok. The idea is killing Sentry makes him pop up too right? Not just Sentry's run away sad times power.

I think the wording on the first power is pretty clear it only works on his particular Sentry and not others since anytime something works on anyone with the right name in general it should say 'figures named whoever' or whatnot. (though granted there are several old cards that need to be updated to reflect that)

In the bit of the Tentacle Molesting power about players choosing figures, there's a 'they' that might be a bit better as a 'that player' just so it's clear it's not Void doing the picking since he's only referred to with a pronoun one other time and it would be pretty easy to assume he's a 'they'.

Not entirely following why I'd bother drafting him with Sentry* instead of just a normal army (with some dudes that want/don't mind wounds), but I also actively don't care about these people.

yea


*Like I get 'oh it gives you something to do if Sentry is off the field' but it doesn't do anything about Sentry not taking turns while on the field and makes it harder to afford someone to bond with him to help with that. And they basically do similar stuff, so I feel like I'd just rather take the reliable 500 point murder thing and not bother trying to attach him to the unreliable one.

Updated with suggested changes.

What units would you think want/don't mind wounds the most?

[IAmBatman]

I assume he's referring to Jason types and, to a lesser extent, Wolverine and Raven types.

[Soundwarp SG-1]

Wolverine/ Hasbro Hulk, that kinda thing. Like you send out one of those guys on a suicide run before Void and you don't really care if he nicks them once and a while (especially when he's also nicking the enemy for free). Not quite sure you can get Tentacle Bad Touch to be a strict positive for your team, but you can definitely get it to be like 'neutral with some upside'. It's only a negative if you're building wrong.

Jason doesn't work since the Tentacles can't be ignored.

[IAmBatman]

Gotcha. My bad.

[MrNobody]

Okay, yeah, I was guessing dudes like Wolverine. I’m okay with him working fine with units like that (Hulk is probably like...Sentry thematic pairing #4 so that kinda works.) It feels like there’s plenty of reasons to bring Void with Sentry and vice-versa, so I’m okay with there maybe being some non-thematic but competitive stuff you can do with Void.

He doesn't just give you something to do while Sentry's off the field, he also makes Sentry come back without you wasting turns. That's massive - Sentry normally takes a turn over a round of doing literally nothing on the battlefield to come back, with this guy you get to activate Void during those turns instead.

Yeah, those are my thoughts, and I actually quite like that. You can't completely control it, but you can make it better for you than the enemy.
Jason also still isn't a bad combo - he might not be able to straight up no-sell Void anymore, but he's still got a super high life and a really easy resurrection - a single wound on him doesn't mean that much.

I definitely do not like the updated double attack wording. With it being a separate sentence, Void can only attack each figure once per game.
