I feel like “ancestral adrenaline” or even “adrenaline” sounds way cooler. Adrenaline by itself sounds too generic, though.... hmmm..... “to the final breath”.... I don’t know. I do think WoGAC squad looks great, though

Wannok happens at the end of the round, so it shouldn't take have any effect to ignore the wound. I think that this case is minor enough that it can be handled with a R&C after release.

Adrenaline sounds like a good name for the power to me. It's pretty clear on the theme and is generic enough to be reusable in the future.

This would still allow Deathwalkers to avoid being instakilled basically, but still essentially allow for small and medium figures (who usually have around 3 defense) to have the same effect as if it was paralyzing stare.

Have you considered doing something along the lines of the Varkaanan Quickblades' Lightning Slash Special Attack? Ygorl has a high attack, so it would still be pretty potent to subtract 1 defense die for every skull rolled.

Oooooo...great suggestions. "Ancestral Adrenaline" is really cool because it eludes to the backstory and theme of these guys and their clan...though "Adrenaline" is a perfectly simple and a more reusable power name. hmmm...I'll need to think about it, but I agree to changing the power name to either of those two.

Agreed. Again thanks for your feedback and help with them.

I hadn't...though I kinda like where you're going with that. Definitely serves the same purpose I'm going for as far as effect...though potentially not as potent at times depending on the roll, but that isn't really any different than failing the roll for the current power anyway...so yeah I'll have to think about that. I think a new power name would be in order if I went that direction. Thoughts?

Hmm. I'm not often happy with my power names, but I would probably suggest something along the lines of Dark or Demonic Slash to pay homage to the Lightning Slash Special Attack while still staying within the theme. I'm sure that there's a better name out there, though.
