Thanks! I’ll be posted the updated card in a sec. There’s been lots of discussion on the discord chat, and leaf and I have been talking a lot and decided to playtest the version I’m about to post.

Re: The Pre-SoV Workshop

I'm obviously partial to this design. I really like the theme of scorpions scurrying up the field and the 6 move seems earned.

Melee can often find itself on low ground vs range anyway so it shouldn't matter to much. The max 2 def might be punishing, since it nullifies raelin and any possible hight advantage, but that is for playtesting. If nothing else 4 defense 4 man squad is a solid defender, and with some lucky rolls they have some bite.

Instinctively I'm not sure if I would automatically claim high ground - which means if you are looking to create decisions you are on the right track.

You could say that it subtracts 3 from the scorpion's defense. That drops it by two and negates the height advantage, while allowing it to benefit from Raelin, shadow, etc.

Re: The Pre-SoV Workshop

We're considering the name "Necrotizing Venom". However we are open to other names.

I'd also like to include a quote from "Godchep" on the discord server (I don't know if they the same name on here).
Quote:
...Scorpions sting prey and then clamp with the claws. The venom takes effect with a stinger prick, and then your defenses (armor, remaining dexterity, etc.) protect as best they can from the claws.
The attack roll represents the opening. The better the opening, the better the attack from all angles. Then it's down to how much defense you have left.
I think this a very good thematic explanation of how and why they are lowering your defense.

Re: The Pre-SoV Workshop

Have you guys tried a modified Maul ability? "If at least two skulls are rolled, the defending figure subtracts one from its defense."

Re: The Pre-SoV Workshop

Or you could just make it to where the defender always rolls minus 1 defense instead of having it stack with each skull

Re: The Pre-SoV Workshop

If it is only ever lowered the defense by 1, the option of taking height is much less appealing. The height debuff is so severe that I would personally never take height in 90+% of situations if it was only ever a -1 debuff. The defense loss is just not worth the extra attack die.
We like that current design entices you to take height for that juicy potential of -3 defense on your target, but leaves you at a permanent 2 defense, even under Raelin aura.

Yeah, same name. Happy to help! Really love this design. If that wasn't obvious from my above comment and other comments.

I think the design really forces you to make interesting decisions. It does some things nothing else is doing, but in a relatively unobtrusive way - which I like a lot. The decision between full offense and full defense is a dynamic one. Do you hunker down as a defender and hope you hold out? Or use that 6 move to climb up high and try to neutralize your attackers as a shark?

Thoughts

I like the power set. I'm not keen on paralyzing venom for reasons I've elaborated on the discord but will repeat here.

The paralyzing powers on MBS and zombie hulk are related to fear and being paralyzed with fear causes you to stay in one place making you easier to hit (defense reduction).

Paralysis by poison would take effect after you have been hit (see venom ray or poisonous weapons).

I think there's a thematic name in there for that power, but I would not upvote paralyzing venom.

~Dysole, pretty much in agreement with Scytale regarding the goblin gladiators

Re: The Pre-SoV Workshop

You could call it Stinging Tail and avoid all the venom paralyzing stuff. Though I admit I'm okay with paralyzing venom.
