Thanks Archie!

This passes. I feel confident about wording?

How does Master’s Devotion work with Ferocious Assault (or whatever it is on Kong and Battlebeast?)

I guess Splinter pops in, avoids the Turtle’s defeat, but the wounds aren’t ignored so the Turtle is immediately destroyed anyways?

[Arch-vile]

That's how I would interpret it as well.

I think "you control" should be "on your team", but maybe we've still used "you control" elsewhere.

Is that how we want the interaction to go?

I don’t see any immdiate mechanical issues and I think, thematically, a story is being told so…sure? Kinda sucks for the Turtles if they’re going against Kong, but I think other teams get screwed over by the same mechanic way worse.

[IAmBatman]

Cool. As long as that's not a hole we want to patch, wording seems good to me.

Some attacks are just too ferocious for your mentor to save you from.

[japes]

Or you could make it "Ignore the attack" if you wanted it to be him removing them from the situation?

[IAmBatman]

It'd be avoid the attack. That gets messy, though, because 1. the attack clearly already happened (you defended, you took wounds, etc.) and 2. the ability triggers on any defeat, not just attacks

[MrNobody]

Yeah, I think I prefer keeping the ability to save them from auto-wounds and such, otherwise I think there’s some logic in “ignore the attack.”

[Sporx]

Suggestion: change “hits than blocks” to “skulls than shields” in BB? As I understand it, an attacker’s shields aren’t “blocks,” like a defender’s skulls aren’t “hits.” I think you want the players comparing the faces of the dice, right? So:

BREAKING BALANCE
After combat against an adjacent enemy, if the enemy has more skulls than shields and Splinter is not defeated, you may inflict a wound on that enemy.
