I was hoping to see more votes, but this has gone on long enough. This proposal passes. The OP has been updated.

I'll get to doing a new Checklist soon.

Re: [Pod 1] UKUSHISA PRIDE (Blazing Firecats) - Editing

Should we clarify the adjacency rules in the power or with an FAQ item? Coming back to this figure, it was unclear if the bonus was if another pride figure was adjacent to the attacker or the defender (but leaned towards the attacker in my interpretation)

Combined Heat
When attacking with an Ukushisa Pride, roll one additional die for each adjacent Ukushisa Pride.

I don't know why it's confusing; the defending figure is not mentioned anywhere in the power. The only object in the sentence is the attacking Ukushisa Pride. It's similar to Shield Wall. (Though it should probably have a "you control" in it, now that I look at it again.)

But if people do find it confusing, we can break the Shield Wall precedent and spell it out.

I'm good with just adding that "you control" line. I guess it's just me

I agree with you that the lack of a mention to the defending figure should help ensure that it's interpreted as intended, but I do wonder if this would be confusing to a newcomer. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to run a HS newcomer event in quite some time and probably won't be able to in the near future, or else I would bring these guys to the event and see how they play outside of players familiar with the game.

It is worth noting that Shield Wall is probably a bit easier of a theme to help with the correct interpretation for most players, since it's inspired by historical Romans rather than by original fantasy fiery hunters. I could see it being a case similar to Double Attack, where the power name and theme help it come across consistently despite some vague wording.

Overall, I'm fine with the current wording inspired by Shield Wall, but as another option, we could also look at the Honor Guard of the Blasted Lands' Arc Lances (there may be other close examples, but those are recent and came to mind). Whatever you think is best from a rules perspective works for me, though.

I suppose we have plenty of space on the card. I wish we didn't have such an awkward name for the unit, though.

Spelling it out does seem like the best route here, given that we have the space for it.

I just realized that I'm not sure how "Ukushisa" is supposed to be pronounced. Depending on the pronunciation, we might have to use "a Ukushisa Pride" instead of "an Ukushisa Pride." If the U is long like in "universe" rather than short like in "umbrella," we should use a Ukushisa.

Thanks for clearing that up! In that case, then technically we should use a Ukushisa Pride.
