Personally, I don't mind that the Guides don't take an active role in leading the hero--if anything, I think that the core fantasy of this unit is serviced well by placing the focus squarely on the revived hero rather than themselves. It's okay for them to mostly highlight what makes another unit cool given that that's likely why they'll be drafted anyway.

I'm not sure how much you would consider @Captain Stupendous and my idea a "heavy" redesign. It does, however, involve becoming once-per-game and losing the negation clause.

Focus on the Hero is great and should be part of this power. But my concern is with any power that basically just exists without the unit itself having to do anything. Sort of like how a blanket OM hub would be a terrible idea.

That said, given the lukewarm feelings about the current version and that it's largely a series of patches to try to get it to do what we intended, I propose we move back to design and pursue a slightly different angle.
