Re: HoME Design Thread
As a small note, based on some of the playtests I've seen, I think people find Gandalf overpowered dragging Raelin around, and clunky when the movement for Leadership is reduced to 4 to keep him in check. If it's an issue, I think we need to address it now. Should we find a way to exclude Raelin and keep Leadership at 5?

Aside from Raelin there might still be considerations with Gandalf dragging around some of the heavy hitters such as Kaemon Awa, Sonlen, or Tandros. While you could restrict to Small Unique Heroes, the usefulness might be minimal. faure's comic customs: http://www.heroscapers.com/community...ad.php?t=35308 faure's classic customs: http://www.heroscapers.com/community....php?p=1368594 |

Re: HoME Design Thread
How about,
LEADERSHIP After taking a turn with Gandalf, you may move up to 3 small or medium Non Flying Unique Heroes you control up to 5 spaces each. Any figures moved by Leadership must end their movement adjacent to Gandalf. Figures moved by Leadership do not take leaving engagement attacks. Same language as Jotun's throw. |

Re: HoME Design Thread
Looks pretty good -- I've added one minor edit for consistency with Jotun's card:

Re: HoME Design Thread
The 4-move restriction is "clunky" on purpose--that's a feature, not a bug. That way the player has to make choices. If we find that playtesting requires excluding Raelin (which is far from a given after only two tests, although definitely a major concern) then we should still leave the restriction at 4.

I'd rather keep leadership as is, and wait for more testing or change it to the above with 4 move instead of 5, and test from there. I don't like the non flying idea, it seems out of place and wired thematically, but for Jotun it made sense. Why can Gandalf lug around Tul-Bak-Ra or Warden 816 and not Raelin? |

Seriously. Potentially *every turn* Gandalf can move, attack all adjacent figures or make a powerful short-range attack, then possibly move 4 spaces again, and then move 2-3 other heroes 4 spaces. He does a lot, and I would like to keep some restraint in this design. Let's see some more tests with Raelin.

Re: HoME Design Thread
Just my two sense on this matter. Why is the power named Leadership? If you plan on limiting it only to the Fellowship (or similar figures) why not change the name to "Leader of the Fellowship" or something else a bit more interesting, right now it's kind of a boring name (unless you plan on reusing it)
Might want to test the Flagbearers as well, they could easily become over powered if they can get such a good movement boost. |
