Well met!

Thanks so much -again!

Any suggestions?

That was a bit over the top. After Arrow Grut talked to me, I came up with this, but hold off on the card for the moment, as Shiftrex suggested an improved version of Saber Storm Special Attack.

Gráinne O'Hara
General: Vydar
Half-Elf, Unique Hero, Captain, Disciplined, Medium 5
Life 4, Move 6, Range 7, Attack 3, Defense 4

Combat Leader
If at least one Order Marker is on Gráinne O'Hara, you may add 3 to your initiative roll.

Double Attack
When Gráinne O'Hara attacks, she may attack one additional time.

Saber Storm Special Attack
Range 1, Attack 1, 2, or 3
Gráinne O'Hara starts each turn with 6 attack dice. Choose any adjacent figure and attack by rolling 1, 2, or 3 attack dice. Gráinne O'Hara may keep making special attacks with 1, 2, or 3 attack dice until she has rolled all 6 attack dice. Gráinne O'Hara may target the same or different figures with each attack.

Points: 120

As with Kha long ago, this figure uses existing powers in a different, unique way.

I think I'm onto something here, but, of course, you've heard that before . . .

From what I've read in some other threads, looks like you have more changes coming. I'll wait to post a new card until after your next set of revisions.

Thanks, mac! I see the text barely fit on the card. Good job! I'm Hosting the Gang's August meeting, so Gráinne will get a good workout soon. I will, of course, keep you informed . . .

Well met!

I'm sure she would be fun to play as is, but I've decided that this custom's special power just doesn't fit with her sculpt or her role. So, here in the wee hours of the morning, I have come up with a couple of powers more consistent with her being a Captain.

Nikerym O'Hara
General: Vydar
Half-Elf, Unique Hero, Captain, Disciplined, Medium 5
Life 4, Move 5, Range 4, Attack 3, Defense 3

Combat Leader
If at least one Order Marker is on Nikerym O'Hara, you may add 3 to your initiative roll.

First Mate
At the beginning of the game, designate a Human, Elf or Half-Elf Unique Hero you control to be your First Mate. If Order Marker 1 is placed on Nikerym O'Hara, then before taking that turn with Nikerym O'Hara, you may take a turn with your First Mate.

Protect the Captain
When Nikerym O'Hara would receive one or more wounds from an attacking figure, you may reveal the "X" Order Marker and place all those wounds on any figure you control adjacent to Nikerym O'Hara.

I don't mean this in a rude way, but I feel like it might be worth just writing these versions out on paper and actually testing them some (and/or just inputting the stats into the online card maker yourself to get a workable card for testing, and ignoring the fancy graphics for now) rather than continually getting poor mac122 to render every single version of this Hero's card you make? Maybe they don't mind, but it feels kinda unfair to expect them to render every change you make, a lot of which don't seem to have gone through any actual tests.

I could do that, if mac122 feels that way. I think, though, that since the graphics are already done, my understanding is that modifications are pretty easy. I'll ask him.

Appreciate your concern @Shadowking ! I don't mind helping out with projects like this. As I've told @kolakoski , I've got this set up in MSE, so text changes are very easy.
