You are a scholar and a gentleman! (And I cannot rep you.)

Do you have the cards here @Arkham ?
@Lazy Orang , I just read in the Codex about your IRL 'Scape collection and it made me wonder why you test exclusively online. Are you separated from your collection? What do you prefer about online testing?

[Arkham]

Yeah the card is done, just needs the wording.

Quick question on the SA. Does the "for each skull rolled this turn" bit include skulls rolled for the current attack, or just previous attacks?

IE, Shang Tsung rolls a skull on his first attack against another figure. Does he then get an auto-skull for that first attack, and does the defending figure roll at -1 Defense?

It's intended that it has to be skulls rolled against that figure. So if he attacks figure A with 1 attack, rolls a skull, you'd gain an auto skull and that figure would lose 1 from their defense. Then the 2nd attack against the same figure, rolls a skull, now you're at 2 auto skulls and -2 defense to figure A. Then the 3rd attack is against figure B, the previous attacks are not counted towards the bonus.

So it'd need worded "for each skull rolled using this special attack against against that same figure this turn"...something along those lines. Then maybe we FAQ it to be crystal clear. The idea being he's comboing them into the air with it, so multiple attacks on the same figure have the highest potential.

Edits:

SOUL STEAL
Start the game with 7 green Soul Markers on this card. Instead of attacking, you may choose an adjacent figure and roll the 20-sided die. If you roll 9 or higher, the chosen figure receives 1 wound, and you may remove 1 Wound Marker from this card. If the chosen figure is a Unique Hero, you may also place a Soul Marker on that figure's Army Card.

SHAPE-ASSUMING SORCERER
Any time a numbered Order Marker is revealed on any Army Card, you may immediately choose a figure with your Soul Marker on its card and roll the 20-sided die. If you roll a 9 or higher, then for this player turn, Shang Tsung must use the chosen figure's Size and its Height, Move, Range, Attack, and Defense numbers in place of his own, cannot use any other special powers on this card, and gains all of that figure's special powers. If any of its special powers refer to that figure or that figure’s card, they refer to Shang Tsung or Shang Tsung’s card instead.

FLAMING SKULLS SPECIAL ATTACK
Range: 4. Attack: 1+Special.
For each skull rolled against the defending figure with this special attack this turn, add 1 automatic skull to whatever is rolled for this special attack and subtract 1 from the defending figure's Defense number. After attacking with this special attack, you may attack with it 2 additional times.

Nice art all around! The mini appears to be leaning a lot to his left in the mini card. I know the perspective of the photo is how the mini stands in real life, but not seeing the feet due to the fog/bottom of the frame creates a weird illusion of leaning. I run into this sometimes on cards. A few degrees should be enough to do the trick.

Absolutely loving the markers and comic art. There's great art for all of these MK characters, I am very impressed.

[Arkham]

I’m not sure I agree. But if others feel the same I can change it tomorrow.

[Scapemage]

If you think it's good then no worries. It could just be me.

He does seem to be leaning just slightly backwards, but the cards look great.
