It bothers me how powerful throwers are when lava is around, and in my opinion the power-level there negatively influences new units and maps.

Welcome to the Inner Sanctum, off-topic is our on-topic. I'd be all over further nerfing Lava. Magma is the only one who would be seriously affected, and she's downright broken in certain combos.

Yeah..lava is extremely worrisome. Looks good here though.

Yep, make a proposal. I'm open.

No issues with the glyph.

On the subject of molten lava, the damage for landing in molten lava is probably low enough already. If anything, I'd want to add a rule that allowed a figure placed on lava by an opponent to be placed on an adjacent space (assuming you hit some kind of saving throw) before rolling for lava damage.

Are you sure that's not your love of Magneto+Magma talking? Honestly though, I'm surprised to hear you say that. I find that anytime lava is involved in a game, throwers become ridiculously strong. I try to avoid maps with lava, or at least be very particular with which units I choose when testing.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. The damage is sky-high and we don't include lava maps in the online events precisely for this reason. What I meant was that lowering the damage itself any more doesn't feel "realistic" for a molten lava effect.

I was suggesting an alternative mechanic to nerf lava - namely, that if you would be placed by an opponent onto a lava space, you can get a "dodge roll" to place the figure on an adjacent space instead, an not roll for lava damage. That way, the lava can stay as deadly as we want it, but the figure movement combo isn't quite so deadly.

J. Jonah Jameson got the glyph in the last playtest game with Donatello. Loved seeing him throw Raphael and Jubilee around. And Jubilee rolled a 20 when she got thrown in to lava!

When A3n posting Donatello's card, it reminded me this should be in Final Editing too.

Just started doing the card for this & I realise that the descriptive sub-text (REVERSE GRAVITY) isn't used correctly. The sub-text is usually the game mechanic not the theme. So in this case it should be something like MOVE FIGURE.

[quozl]

How about "THROW"?

[A3n]

Throw is not a game mechanic, unless you mean throwing the figure at your opponent player because you are a sore loser .
