Shouldn't that movement match? Right now you move 4, and then up to 3 before the opponent moves you. Seems like it should be consistent and be you move 4 spaces and then can move up to 4 spaces but if you get to 5 or more your opponent moves you.

[IAmBatman]

Hmm, yeah, I agree with that.

[tcglkn]

I'd rather it be 3 spaces for the initial part then because you will very rarely roll 5+ blanks on 10 dice. 4 is still pretty unlikely.

[Dr. Jekyll]

Yeah, I only rolled 4 blanks one time while testing. I could see dropping it to 3 just to keep it even.

[Karat]

My only worry with that is if it is worth it at that point as it is only 1 space more than her normal movement at that point.

Maybe swap the trigger to Shields if it isn't occurring enough?

[tcglkn]

It’s worth plenty cause it gives her free disengage. You also can’t predict the move as is since you have to place her EXACTLY X spaces away with the second part.

[Karat]

True, but at least 4 move is somewhat comparable to her 5 base move. I just foresee it getting passed up more often at 3 + a variable move up to 3. Not specifically an issue per say just voicing what I see. Makes it seem generally more like trinket text outside of a few situations.

[tcglkn]

I don’t understand calling a teleport similar to a move of 5 at all. I can think of tons of situations where a teleport is better, getting out of engagement, getting to the top of a castle, getting around an obstacle, crossing a river... the fact that the teleport has a draw back and encourages you to use her normal move sometimes is a good thing.

[Karat]

I just think we are leaning too far that direction.

[Dr. Jekyll]

I honestly had fun the way it is now, I would teleport just to teleport sometimes. Lucky number 7, 4 automatic and possibly 3.

[tcglkn]

Then I don't see any reason to change it. Fun is the most important factor to me.

[tcglkn]

So are we just trying to get one more playtest here?
