_________________________________________________________________
Character Bio - There are only a few of these pits in existence, and they are not commonly known of either. Legend tells us that any man who submerges himself into the hot liquid of a Lazarus Pit shall rise again completely healed of his injuries - including old age. It is the proverbial Fountain of Youth and that is to say that it bestows immortality to anyone that controls one or more of these life giving pools. However, the one drawback is that any person who submerges their body in these healing waters will, for a brief moment, lose control of their thoughts and actions, rendering them temporarily insane.

TEMPORARY GLYPH

Spoiler Alert!

Very very cool picture. Is that a custom you made Griff? I have no other comments here, this is so straight forward.

I could see having some sort of "go crazy" element for thematic purposes, but I much prefer a simple, straight forward approach for gameplay. I think this cuts the mustard.

Is that a fake vomit?

It just a pic I got off line. I don't actually want to use this image, I just wanted a visual for a concept.

What I would like for the glyph would be for the artist to create a lava pool in the gravel and then show some lava glowing through some of the cracks in the rocks.

[Good Pig]

Cool, not much to say pretty straightforward power.

I am with Bats. I really think a 50-50 chance to heal or go crazy would be cool. What about this?
"When one of your figures stops here, roll a 20 sided die. If you roll a 1-10 remove all wounds from its Army Card and place your figure adjacent to the figure closest to it and immediately attack that figure. If two figures are equal distance, your opponent chooses where this figure is placed. If you roll a 11-20 remove all wound markers from its Army Card."

Still pretty simple, but it has that crazy mechanic. Also, a Lazarus Pit never loses its power so I am not crazy about the Temporary Glyph, but I do realize it would/could/should be broken if permanent.

I think you missed part of my post.

No, I just thought this was still pretty simple. (Compared with Cosmic Control Rod, Temporal Glyphs, Cosmic Cube, and some others, it is!)

[IAmBatman]

With that approach, if you're removing all wounds either way, why not just put that before listing the results of the D20 roll?

Because I am neither the wordsmith nor the experienced player you are? Did I win? Is that right?

More of a rhetorical question/suggestion for a tweak if you're really trying to sell this.
