The Book of the Glyph of Darkfield

[johnny139]

Sorry, wasn't looking too closely at this. First of all, we still need Toil and Trouble for the release on the side. Here's a wording tweak, with the following changes:

- Stuff like shadow spaces and height provide an "extra die," not a "defense bonus." Also moved the movement slowdown stuff to more closely mirror heavy snow rules.
- "Move and Attack numbers" isn't capitalized
- There's some weirdness with how the end of round wounds were being dealt out. Think this simplifies it a bit.

The space this glyph occupies, even if unoccupied, and all spaces within 2 spaces of this glyph are considered shadow spaces, except figures do not add extra defense dice when occupying those spaces and count each hex as 2 spaces when moving. All figures on these spaces subtract 1 from their Attack and Defense numbers, to a minimum of 1, and cannot be use or be targeted by attacks or special powers that require clear sight. At the end of the round, each Energy Construct within 2 spaces of this glyph receives a wound, then this glyph is removed from the battlefield. Figures with the Blind Warrior or Shroud of Darkness special power are not affected by this glyph.

I'm fine with all the other changes, however "except figures do not add extra defense dice when occupying those spaces " makes it sound like if the figure has a power that adds extra defense dice then they can't add them. It doesn't sound like we are specifically referring to the defense bonus provide by the shadow tiles, which is the intent.

Hmm, that's true. Let me think... maybe "figures do not add the extra die from occupying those spaces" would work? I'm mostly trying to get rid of the word "bonus" which I don't think we've ever used on a card before.

[johnny139]

No complaints, so I'll say this is our final wording:

The space this glyph occupies, even if unoccupied, and all spaces within 2 spaces of this glyph are considered shadow spaces, except figures do not add an extra defense die when occupying those spaces and count each hex as 2 spaces when moving. All figures on these spaces subtract 1 from their Attack and Defense numbers, to a minimum of 1, and cannot be use or be targeted by attacks or special powers that require clear sight.

@A3n - Swap this in and add "Toil and Trouble" to the left box and we're good to go here!

We can also drop the last two paragraphs here since we voted on them being unnecessary.

Just noticed - whoever was checking the card itself missed that it hasn't been updated with a release name on the left hand.

This wasn't missed. johnny mentioned it two posts above. It simply hasn't been updated yet.

I was planning on getting to this on the weekend. I wasn't made aware that it was part of this release otherwise I would've made sure I got to this before going to bed . I will get it tonight.

Sorry I don't pay too much attention to the release planning as that is the current hero realm.

I can honestly say, I never even noticed that lefthand release bit prior to this glyph

Updated.

This looks pretty cool. Seems quite different compared to most glyphs.

Found a typo in the main text (the be should be removed):

The space this glyph occupies, even if unoccupied, and all spaces within 2 spaces of this glyph are considered shadow spaces, except figures do not add an extra defense die when occupying those spaces and count each hex as 2 spaces when moving. All figures on these spaces subtract 1 from their Attack and Defense numbers, to a minimum of 1, and cannot be use or be targeted by attacks or special powers that require clear sight. At the end of the round, each Energy Construct within 2 spaces of this glyph receives a wound, then this glyph is removed from the battlefield. Figures with the Blind Warrior or Shroud of Darkness special power are not affected by this glyph.
