The Book of C3G Equipment Glyph Rules

[Confred]

A) I encountered quolz's link and started looking up the C3G rules that "should be" standard.
B) I like it all mostly.
C) Equipment gave me the longest pause and the most questions.

1) The "dropping" rule on this concerns me. Does only requiring a wound to disarm too easy to disarm?
2) Also, would "disarm" be a better term than "lose" due to the ambiguous nature of "lose". For example, in Magic:the Gathering, players can lose life and they can be damaged. Damaged is considered lost life. - If you have an item stolen, you have it "lost" to the thief. "Disarm" would be a simple fix, less confusion.
3) Do powers that prevent moving also prevent placing?
D) I also didn't know before about the 1 equipment limit. I can see it. I'll have to adjust my Batman design. I can see it now: Utility Belt: Batman can have more than 1 equipment glyph on his Army Card.

Thanks for reformatting. I had a hard time figuring out what you were asking before.

1) Nope. It's fun making glyphs fly.
2) Disarm makes me think of losing a weapon, not equipment. Lose works and has been working for years. We won't be changing it now.
3) Yes but what does that have to do with equipment glyphs?

D) Check out our 250 point Batman with his utility belt!

In addition for #1 - that's how they were playtested, so the costs are balanced accordingly already.

Sorry, confred, we don't post individual custom makers' cards in C3G threads. It's against our rules.

Not sure what that one's all about, though ....

[Confred]

It wasn't an actual submission. It was a tribute to the C3G rules just discovered.
It also includes the very rules I was previously concerned with as a concession to your favor.
It includes a counter to the "dropping" mechanism
It uses "lose" instead of "disarm"
It even references 1 Equipment Glyph per Hero

If you like that, I think you'll like the Orange Lanterns we're working on....

The rules make it clear that a unique hero can hand off or drop a glyph at any point in its move, but does the hero still have to stop on the glyph if the hero moves onto it? How about if they want to reveal or pick it up?

I assume the glyph stops movement, as the equipment glyphs default to standard (power?) glyph rules, but I wanted to be sure.

Once a figure stops on an equipment glyph to pick it up, it's movement ends.

Can figures move over an equipment glyph if they don't pick it up (like treasure glyphs) or not (like power glyphs)?

I'd say like treasure glyphs. That part I am not sure of.

Also, you have to stop your movement to pick up treasure glyphs.

We should get an official ruling, as this could come up in this round of the tournament. Quozl? SirG? Bats?

True, of course. I figure this applies to equipment as well, but it's not explicit in the rules here so I wasn't 100% sure.
