The Book of Captain Cold (I)

[Yodaking]

I'd ask @dok what he thought too since he's pretty keyed in on rules details.

Bats's R&C looks fine and aligns with how I've always assumed the card is supposed to work.

Cool. Will update now.

Going off the conversation in the Pinhead thread, is it the intention that the space Captain Cold occupies isn’t counted by Frozen Molecular Field? Based off precedent from Glyphs that have similar AoE effects, I’d say it isn’t affected. Seems a bit unthematic that Flash has an easier time moving through the exact spot Cold occupies than he does moving through any other space near Cold.

Idk, might be too minor a point to be worthy an update, but his main enemy is notable for moving through figures so it can matter.

Per precedent, I'd agree that it is a loophole, even if an unintended one. It's a bit odd and I wouldn't mind updating here to also include the space he occupies.

Thematically the field is dispersing around him, not directly under him.

Honestly not going to keep me up at night either way, though.

Agreed.

[MrNobody]

I’m assuming the field is spherical. (Could be wrong on theme there.) In that case I’d argue that yeah, it should be dispersed under his feet, and in the rest of the space that makes up that hex.

I agree that it’s hardly a huge issue either way though, just noticed it while flipping through designs with “within X spaces” language.

[IAmBatman]

I mean, it never came up in design or testing. I'm fine with clarifying it either way. I don't think it'll have a major impact and shouldn't change his cost any.

I disagree with the assumption here. as I stated here,

So here the space CC is on is within X spaces & there is affected. Flash does not get any advantage from that space.
