Re: The Book of Parallax (Entity) - VOTE for Initial Playtes
This passes! Should get to it by the end of the weekend at least, hopefully.

Re: The Book of Parallax (Entity) - Waiting for Initial Play
This is a complicated dude, but interested in seeing how he plays. He only gets one host per game, correct?

Re: The Book of Parallax (Entity) - Waiting for Initial Play
Yeah, we removed the ability to go and claim another host, which I think is for the best in terms of mechanical complexity and balance.

Re: The Book of Parallax (Entity) - Waiting for Initial Play
As I start testing, before it affects results, in order to give the Parallax Entity player a bit more decision-making, I'm making a slight change to Fight Against Fear:
FIGHT AGAINST FEAR At the end of the round, if Parallax’s Host has more yellow Battery Markers on its card than it did at the start of the game, roll an unblockable attack die against Parallax's Host. If you do not roll a skull, remove a yellow Battery Marker from here or from the Host's card. If Parallax's Host is destroyed or is no longer considered his Host, remove all Order Markers from its card, and immediately place Parallax on any empty spaces within 3 spaces of the space his Host last occupied. This lightens text and complexity a tad and also makes it so if your Host starts to fight free, you have to use a turn on Fear Casting to get them back under your control, which feels right mechanically and thematically. C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

Re: The Book of Parallax (Entity) - Waiting for Initial Play
Only one game in so far and I like him somewhat, but I feel he's not quite dynamic enough, and possibly a bit overpowered. Like the obvious move is to just possess the keystone piece of the enemy and have them taken over by your third turn of the first round.
Fight Against Fear is fun and feels thematic, but it's too slow. Like if it takes me eight rounds to battle him off and I'm controlling the keystone piece that long, it's just too long in game time. Parallax is likely only going to come off the card if you KO your own figure in that case. To make things more dynamic and to make continued Fear Casting more relevant, I want to change Fight Against Fear to this: FIGHT AGAINST FEAR At the end of each of your turns with Parallax of his Host, if the Host has more yellow Battery Markers on its card than it did at the start of the game, roll an unblockable attack die against the Host. If you roll a shield, remove a yellow Battery Marker from the Host's card. If Parallax's Host is destroyed or is no longer considered his Host, remove all Order Markers from its card, and immediately place Parallax on any empty spaces within 3 spaces of the space his Host last occupied. That way it'll be triggering a lot more often and there'll be more reason to keep Fear Casting early and more of a chance of Parallax getting on the battlefield sooner. Also, maybe, more of a reason to possess your own YL instead of an enemy figure (but we'll see). To compensate for how much this could make Parallax's Fear Casting waste his turn, I also made it so only a shield removes a marker, not a blank. C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

Re: The Book of Parallax (Entity) - Waiting for Initial Play
So I've run the first match three times now and I like how he plays when you possess an enemy figure and I even enjoy how he plays when you possess your own, but the latter is definitely the inferior strategic option right now and it also feels like a waste of resources if your guy gets killed and you have a ton of markers left on Parallax with no way to use them.
I'd love to hear some potential ideas for squeezing in some secondary burn effect for the markers when Parallax is on the battlefield. I'm just not sure if there's room on the card. But, like, if he could burn them offensively somehow once he's on the battlefield, that'd stop him from just being a stat block there, which would also be cool.

Re: The Book of Parallax (Entity) - Waiting for Initial Play
Would this be crazy?
FEAR CASTING Instead of taking a turn with Parallax, you may remove a yellow Battery Marker on this card, then either inflict a wound on an adjacent figure or place the marker on his Host's card, to a maximum of 4 yellow Battery Markers on his Host's card. If his Host has 4 or more yellow Battery Markers on its card and is not already a Yellow Lantern, take control of that Hero and its card for as long at that Hero is Parallax's Host. Remove any Order Markers from that Hero's card. C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

Re: The Book of Parallax (Entity) - Waiting for Initial Play
Report is coming in that it'd be too much text, so no worries. He definitely has an impact without it.
@Ronin didn't see you sneak that photo in, thanks! So that looks like it'd be rebased on a single for sure, right? Any thoughts on size and height? Large or Huge? How many hexes up? It's looking pretty sweet! Also thinking I want to try to trim the wording a bit now .... C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.
