The Book of Court of Owls

[Soundwarp SG-1]

I'm not big on odd numbers

[Yodaking]

Change my vote to 195 or 205 then.

[IAmBatman]

That hit zone is dope!

Reminder: japes is on abstain and johnny139 will be in half an hour here.

[IAmBatman]

johnny is on abstain, so this passes to On Deck. #1027.

[japes]

Card looks good.

Edits:

ELECTRUM INVESTMENT
At the start of the game, choose any number of Unique Assassin Heroes in your army and distribute 6 gold Electrum Markers among the chosen Heroes' Army Cards. At the start of each round, you may either:
• Choose any number of Heroes you control that are not on snow or ice spaces, and remove one Electrum Marker from each of their cards. If you do, remove one Wound Marker from each of the chosen Heroes' Army Cards.
• Choose a destroyed Hero in your army and remove a number of Electrum Markers from that Hero's card equal to its Life number. If you do, remove all Wound Markers from that Hero's Army Card, then place that Hero on a space in your Start Zone.

BEHIND GRANITE AND LIME
An Owl cannot be targeted by opponents' non-adjacent figures for any attacks or special powers that require clear sight as long as that Owl is in your Start Zone.

ASSASSIN COMMAND
After revealing an Order Marker on this card and instead of taking a turn with the Court of Owls, you may choose up to two Unique Assassin Heroes you control with the same name. Move both chosen Heroes, then attack with one of the chosen Heroes.

A lot of little fussy edits in the first power. Capitalization and whatnot. Some slight tweaking on the opening bit. Miiiight want more specific timing on "At the start of each round"? I think we all understand that to mean "before OMs" by default, but since the Talons have "before OMs" type wording it might be good to echo that?

No edits on Granite and Lime.

On Assassin Command I just changed Assassin Unique Hero to Unique Assassin Hero, which is a little more standard for us. (But not a big deal) Not sure if you want the blue bit.

I agree with most of this. Additions/changes in red. Also, I question how clear it is to just call them Owls in Granite and Liamshould we just go with "this figure"? Seems slightly clearer. Squads are h as rd to word

How did these two get ON Deck if there is still so much discussion going on with wording?

[IAmBatman]

johnny was on abstain and Karat is less active right now and a Legend. They were both tagged for wording checks but after a bit it was decided to not wait and go ahead and vote. With none of the active Heroes being involved in wording checks, this is bound to happen. Much like A3n coming in with art concerns after something is On Drck.

Makes sense to me that in a Court of Owls, the members are Owls. I don't think anyone will mistake the meaning, and something like "one of these figures" just reads awkwardly, like we're bending over backwards to not pick a name for a singular one.

Agreed.

Well, it's not like I called for a vote in the middle of a discussion. I get them to final editing, no one suggested any edits, I called for an On Deck vote, it passed, and then people suggested stuff afterward (which was a thing I asked for them to do, I'm not complaining about it). But there wasn't anything going on while the vote happened.

On the Granite and Lime thing, 'an Owl' is the in universe term for a single member of the Court (though it doesn't come up much), so I don't see a reason to change that. Seems clear enough as it is.
