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

[Scytale]

Actually, it does kind of suck to lose all Blaze counters in water. Some maps it would be hard to avoid.

Negative Element is fine, but that feels a bit like in-the-box thinking. Just because they're fire creatures doesn't mean they have to be super-weak in water. More importantly, this is a non-rebirthing unqiue squad, which would make water devastating. Here's an alternate idea:

Inflame
Start the game with three blaze counters on this army card. Before moving, you may remove a blaze counter to add 2 to this card's move value and 1 to its attack value. You may not use Inflame if any Blazing Firecats are on water tiles.

Extinguish
Whenever a (figure name) ends its movement on a water space, remove all blaze counters from this army card.

Lava Resistant
Same as usual.

It gives them a significant weakness in water, without making them inept.

That exactly what I was thinking.

Makes them different from Fire Elementals and
gives them a balance with Lava resistance...perfect.

Sounds fun so far! Good job guys!

I’m happy with that change, Scy. I’ll add it to the OP later today if there aren’t any objections.

We now need to clarify Species, Class and Personality.

[lefton4ya]

Species: Panthera or Puma (the two main Genus of "Big Cats")
Class: Scouts or Hunter or Predator
Personality: Relentless or Menacing

[The Long eared bat]

Species: Panthera
Class: Hunter
Personality: Menacing

[All Your Pie]

It feels odd to have Panthera as a species when the more general Beast is already established. Unfortunately we can't use beast because the Arrow Gruts don't specify unique heroes in their bonding for some reason.

We could keep it simple and just list "Ukushia" as their species, though I don't know if that was the intent behind their name. I am in general fine with inventing something new here.

Hmm. I got nothing.


We can't use "outsider", I do know that.

Why would that be? There's a lot of outsiders in D&D, not that you necessarily want to follow any D&D lore.

Outsider is going to be used for an upcoming C3V release, with a much different theme.
