The Book of X-O Manowar

[Lord Pyre]

SHANHARA ARMOR 3
Start the game with 3 blue X-O Markers on this card. X-O Manowar adds 1 to his Range and Defense numbers for each X-O Marker on this card. After X-O Manowar receives any number of wounds, before he would be destroyed, you may remove an X-O Marker from this card to remove up to 2 Wound Markers from this card.

Would it be better for this to trigger before Wound Markers are placed, rather than before destruction? (Given that destruction isn't necessarily gonna happen every time)

Might not also hurt to throw a:

VISIGOTH RALLY
Once per round, after moving and before attacking with X-O Manowar, you may move up to 4 unengaged figures you control up to 4 spaces each. These figures must end this movement engaged to an enemy figure or adjacent to X-O Manowar.

into Visigoth Rally to keep it clearer that it doesn't trigger after you move him with Angel or something.

We might also want some clarification around the timing of the "unengaged" requirement (ie write the power so that no one can argue their movement stops as soon as they become engaged).

VISIGOTH RALLY
Once per round, after moving and before attacking with X-O Manowar, you may choose up to 4 unengaged figures you control and move each chosen figure up to 4 spaces. These figures must end this movement engaged to an enemy figure or adjacent to X-O Manowar.

I think probably if you were talking to the Classic guys, they'd also want some kind of Kozuke Samurai style wording, but I think it's not that helpful and probably overkill.

I don't particularly like the phrase "engaged to an enemy figure", so I'd probably write the last sentence more like:

VISIGOTH RALLY
Once per round, after moving and before attacking with X-O Manowar, you may choose up to 4 unengaged figures you control and move each chosen figure up to 4 spaces. These figures must end this movement adjacent to either an enemy figure or X-O Manowar.

Not a hard ask for any edits, though, I think the wording is pretty good.

The PDFs here look off-center and low-res? (As compared to say, Bloodshot)

Those notes on Visigoth Rally are good, so I've switched to that last one there.

For Shanhara Armor - part of the reason for the funky wording is to work well with Ninjak (whose power triggers on an ally receiving wounds). I guess I assumed that if you don't place a wound marker, a wound has not been received? I don't know if that's correct, though.

Ah, yeah, I see the effect you're going for. I'd keep it as-is, then.

EPB sheer forced.

Man this thread was like a soap opera. Every time you thought you knew what would happen, it took you by surprise.

PDFs look solid resolution-wise, but the card has migrated to the left. Didn't they all used to be there, or am I imagining things?

Just curious, what is the image of inside the XO Markers?

[Soundwarp SG-1]

The same symbol is on his right breast plate.

I'm guessing it's either an insignia or like a comm badge kinda thing.

It's a Hot Pocket. He really likes them. Gives him great power.

[johnny139]

Yes, it's his little chest symbol. No, I don't know what it is.

I think it's probably best to keep Shanhara as is, so I'll tag @Arkham for a wording update when he gets a chance.

I just told you. It's his representation of a Hot Pocket. Why does it seem like no one is listening to me tonight.

[Soundwarp SG-1]

I’ve never had a hot poket that didn’t horribly burn my mouth when I tried to eat it. This guy seems like he’d be into that sorta thing, so I think the hot pocket theory is sound.
