Re: [AotV] Pre-Brainstorming Thread
As I’m driving around, I had the idea for an OM killing Sleep Spell for Nissa.
Maybe something like: Go Back to Bed Before/Instead of attacking, you may choose a figure within 6 clear sight spaces of Nissa and roll the 20 sided die. On a 16 or higher, remove all Order Markers from their Army Cards. My customs. NE Ohio Tourney - TBA SW Ohio Tourney - NHSD 550 points AotV - Colliding the minis of AotP with the world of HS.

I could be overestimating his effectiveness, though. If Paralyzing Stare doesn't hit (or there are too many opposing squads), then he could have a tough time dealing significant damage. Whatever the case, I would like to see this kind of design lower than 120 points if we can justify it. Weaker stats would be necessary to avoid penalizing heroes too much, though.

Re: [AotV] Pre-Brainstorming Thread
I brought up in Pod 1 main thread, but what are thoughts on co-designed units such as Chandra Nalaar being able to summon Blazing Firecats, some type of bonding, or something else that requires more than one unit to be designed and tested in tandem? Obviously these units should be in the same POD so before we break up units in pods we should already be planning the tandem design.
Also what is the thoughts on having "Lava Resistant" on units such as Blazing Firecats or Chandra Nalaar? I know we want to make this set as self-contained as possible, but maybe if some powers such as an Special Attacks ended with "Figures with the Lava Resistant special power are not affected by [special power]" this helps to make the set contained slightly but does open up when you add VW terrain sets.

As a potential twist on "going back to sleep," we could do this: Quote:

Lava Resistant doesn't bother me if it is thematic and fitting. I don't think that we even need to add some Special Attack that does less damage against figures with Lava Resistant unless we want to. We've seen plenty of units have advantages on terrain that isn't in their set. Proud Member of Platyfly!

Re: [AotV] Pre-Brainstorming Thread
Coming back to “Go Back to Bed”, if Nissa only killed 1 OM (maybe on an easier d20 roll... or not), I think that would help to distinguish her from Dund and the Mindflayer (the Mindflayer’s OM power requiring a wound with it’s SA).

Re: [AotV] Pre-Brainstorming Thread
I’m not against co-designed units here, but I’m not really for them either. I’ll leave the decision up to Pod 1.
Lava Resistance on Firecats looks right. Lava Resistance on Pheonixes is probably fine too. Lava Resistance on Chandra could be misplaced unless she’s not human. Special Attacks that don’t work on Lava Resistant characters don’t sound like a good idea though. Fireline and Burning Breath from Mimring and Moltenclaw still work fine against Lava Resistant figures, and although Lava Resistance didn’t exist yet for Mimring, it’s literally on Moltenclaw’s card. If we wanted to mention Lava Resistance, we would be better off using it as a weakness for a power like the C3V did for Racheim’s breath attack. My customs.

I like this too, how about also bonding with an Undead or Demon of Vakrill type? |

Here's an idea for a power that I'd been toying around with for Kiora, the Rising Tide:

I like it. We’d have to see if it would cause any weird interactions. GIE can be weird.

Re: [AotV] Pre-Brainstorming Thread
I like the theming more as an alien terraforming the battlefield than as a Water Elemental spreading its element, but either one could work as thematic justification. I also wouldn't be opposed to pairing some kind of terrain-based ability with a healing ability (perhaps even boosted when targeting figures on water spaces, if we wanted the two powers to play together more).
Nice memory on recalling Durnipia! I'd have no problems with making Kiora Durnipia (given the alien lizard arm that Valguard has, I actually think it's a really cool reference), although her colors are better suited to Aquilla than Einar. It looks like we never saw more of Durnipia outside of Valguard's bio, though, so there's plenty of room to flesh her out as we see fit. Proud Member of Platyfly!
