GREATEST FEAR
DESTRUCTIBLE OBJECT

LIFE = 1
DEFENSE = 0

ILLUSIONARY NATURE
While on the battlefield, this destructible object cannot be chosen for any special power.

PARALYZED BY FEAR 16
Any figure adjacent to this destructible object that is not Fearless cannot move or be moved by any special power on an Army Card or Glyph and can only attack a Greatest Fear destructible object. When a figure adjacent to this destructible object begins to take a turn you must roll the 20-sided die. If you roll 16 or higher, remove this destructible object from the battlefield.

Anyone get this thing for pics?

[quozl]

I'll try to get some pics of the gargoyle this weekend.

It's not sunny out but here's some pictures.

Please let me know if any of them are usable.

[Scapemage]

I should be able to make those work.

[Lazy Orang]

I still think that's super wimpy for what's meant to be your Greatest Fear.

[Scapemage]

@quozl could you measure the height of the gargoyle mini when you get the chance?

[Scapemage]

Just updated the wording to change "this destructible object" to "this Greatest Fear" since that's how all our other DOs do it. This made me realize, though, what happens if you are next to more than one Greatest Fear? The current wording creates a paradox where you can only attack DO-A but also can only attack DO-B.

[Ronin]

I know the parked 18-wheeler uses 'this destructible object'.

I'd just tweak the wording of the attack part to "and can only attack a Greatest Fear Destructible Object."

(And I'd change all the other instances of 'this Greatest Fear' back to 'this destructible object' because that sounds better to me, but that's a pettier thing that can be left up to quozl)

I dig the unassuming nature of it. Feel very... totemic, in a way.

I'll only link this because I find it legitimately super unnerving, so consider yourself warned that people might find the following link pretty spooky: it sort of reminds me of this gif as something that's clearly harmless but, in the proper context, is bone-chilling. Considering the fear isn't "real" I think we, as outsiders, see it for what it is, while those involved see it the nightmare.

Okay... that gif's sold me... Jesus...
Still, the card art and background needs to reflect that to justify it.
