The Book of Static

Hmm... how about this then?

Instead of attacking, you may remove a Charge marker from this card, choose a figure within 4 clear sight spaces of Static, move it up to 3 spaces and adjacent to the nearest figure or terrain piece, and then place the removed Charge marker on the chosen figure's card.

I like it, but could see some “if you do” language to make the marker being required come across more clearly.

[Karat]

The movement only occurs as you place the marker on the card. I find that more confusing than the current version and it's weird to place the marker after the movement instead of before. I'd prefer to keep it the way it is.

Hmmm. That would make it a figure that is not a Common or Squad figure. Good call on that BTW.

As is, you'd roll before moving him.

Could just add some OM language or on their turn. I don't like having the placement after the movement.

When it says you can cling a figure to a terrain piece, what exactly is that defined as? Like an actual part of the board? Or do you just mean trees and such?

It's a strange term. According to the Rules for Removing Terrain Pieces a terrain piece is pretty much anything used to build the battlefield. Not sure that's what Karat intended here, though.

If I make a board using only the big 20-something hexes, the game plays totally different than if I use just singles then.

@Karat

Could you answer about the terrain, and what your intent is? I might run a test here soon!

It's actually answered in the Terrain Removal Rules!

1. Choose the terrain pieces
The card or scenario will direct you as to what type of terrain pieces you can choose. Variants will include the size, which refers to the standard configuration of the pieces, i.e. single hex, double hex, triple hex, 5 hex (road), 7 hex, and 24 hex. The lack of size designation in the power means it can be any of these. Another possible variant is the type of terrain, referring to: grass, rock, sand, road / wall walk, concrete, asphalt, swamp, snow, lava field, jungle, dungeon, water, swamp water, molten lava, ice, or shadow....

[Lord Pyre]

I'm sorry I'm still a bit confused (I've not ever played Galactus either). If the map is 100% flat, does that mean the chosen figures will "snap" over to the edge of a new piece? Which means the game will play totally differently if I use the huge terrain pieces or an entire map of single-hexers?

Or does it mean terrain that's not flush with the rest of the map (elevation)?

[Karat]

That's a really good question. I totally meant for it to be like a jungle piece, evergreen tree, rock or ice outcrop, ruin, castle wall/door, battlements, or terrain level change. Maybe there is a way to specify that clearer, though I am a little concerned on text size here and don't want to add too much language. Might have to cut something somewhere
