@capsocrates , @Ninja Status , This is the format I was talking about. These designs can be linked to the other pages OP. This is the current version of Gandalf the grey. The first post can have all the contributions and the pdf and picture images of the finished card. The Second post to have the most current written version of the card. This will allow us to keep up with the individual designs. I want to first go over why it took over 50 play tests to get to this result? Does it follow theme? Does it represent the character in a balanced way? That is why I labeled it Brainstorming phase. There has to be a reason the old way didn't work.

Looks good TREX
Nice format, good work.

HOSS Format! Those guys know what they're doing.

Gandalf was all but approved to be done with playtesting... I don't think I would say he is in the Brainstorming phase.

Do we want to do any more final play testing on this guy? If so I'll change him to playtesting phase, then update when we are satisfied that this is exactly what we want. I may have some time to check him out over the holiday.

[lefton4ya]

Nice start. How about adding an aura for him representing his staff as a light. Here is an idea:
Staff of Power
You may re-roll any one die of any figure you control within 5 clear sight spaces of Gandalf. Staff of Power does not affect Gandolf. Staff of Power may be used only once per turn

[TREX]

@lefton4ya , what is in the OP is currently what the HOME team was satisfied with long before I came around. I changed the OP to play testing phase which seems to be closest to what it is at. Apparently Gandalf has been play tested quite a few times and is where they want him. I am going to test him just to see how he sits. In future designs that are up for brainstorming feel free to throw in suggestions. I would definitely like this project to wield some results.

[caps]

If you want to do more playtesting, consider Gandalf with Raelin and Nakitas, and Gandalf with Jandar soldiers and C3V's 8th Infantry Pathfinders.

[TREX]

@capsocrates, why pathfinders and jandar soldiers, his leadership is with unique heroes. Also nakitas don't get buffs either, they are not heroes.
EDIT: Is there a chance that this is not the correct version in the OP?

[caps]

Yeah, you don't have the right version in here at all. You can find the right version in this post. I'd prefer playtest results for him to be put in the Playtest thread, so everything is in the same place (all his other playtests are there). I think, since we are not yet changing our process to use individual threads for each design, that this thread's existence can actually make stuff more confusing, since it adds one more thread we have to look for to find previous discussion of Gandalf.
