FIRE SPAWNING 13
At the end of each round, you may choose one empty lava field or molten lava space on the battlefield and roll the 20-sided die. If you roll 13 or higher, you may place one of your previously destroyed Fire Demons on the chosen space.

LAVA RESISTANT

I would like to request that we update FIRE AND BRIMSTONE to the following so that we avoid a game starting "Spire" strategy that restricts our design options going forward.

It's a fairly easy fix that falls within the intent and costing of the design, IMO as the LD.

All fine here, except that I prefer that Fire Spawning were a D20 roll instead of an attack die. 10-20 would be fine.

Yeah, I'd probably prefer a d20 roll as well.

Also, the placement of lava seems a bit arbitrary - not sure how you can change that, though. Cool mechanic.

[Hahma]

These guys, Magma and a thrower/placer or two will be nasty.

[IAmBatman]

A D20 roll is fine - I kind of liked it not being able to be boosted by other special powers, though, because it's such a powerful thing. I might increase the odds a bit if we change it to a D20 roll, to like 13+.

Yeah, the idea with the placement was that I didn't want them forming any walls with it (so none next to each other) and I didn't want them flinging it into the enemy startzone (so the 8 space restriction). I might pull that number back to like 4 or 6 spaces, though.

I was pretty sure that was why you did it, but I am not a fan of rolling combat dice when it's not related to combat or wounding.
