The Book of Uprooted Tree

My ultimate goal, yes. I was gonna test this with the Tree of Life/Death and if all goes well, make a proposal for that change.

Nice.

Hmm. With all these trees I am beginning to feel we may be going overboard & trying to make this game a quasi simulation or at the least a RPG. It just seems we are getting to involved with the objects in the world & taking the focus off the characters. I personally would prefer to make a basic ruleset that applied to all current & future trees.

But hey, everything is optional in it's use within HS, so if somebody cares enough to make separate cards for everything then I am fine for it to go through this process. I don't have any issues with this design.

[IAmBatman]

I’d like to have rules that make it when you throw trees they are destroyed. Then these become an optional add on.

I think they should have more Life so they roll more attack dice when you throw them at someone. Maybe 4?

[IAmBatman]

Disagree. In my experience the more life DOs have, the harder they are to destroy and the less likely you are to interact with them.

Thematically it’s odd for a one life Evergreen Tree to fall and become more than one life at all.

I'm guessing you never use the Throwing rules.

Correct. How many people do? I've never played in a tourney with them and I don't tend to use optional rules in playtesting.

The whole point of this DO is for the Throwing rules.

[IAmBatman]

You can throw DOs without using the throwing rules.

[quozl]

Yes, I know. But again, the whole reason for this DO is for the Throwing rules.

[Dr. Jekyll]

With the trees immediately being replaced with this DO, could we possibly use the life total here for any thrown trees? See as the life total for the Evergreen is 1 and would not do a whole lot.
