Public Design Workshop

[MrNobody]

That thing we haven’t told the public about yet? But yeah, probably, I was planning to DM Eric about it if he runs this design.

[IAmBatman]

I don't know what you're talking about.

[Tornado]

Hither came Conan the Cimmerian, black-haired, sullen-eyed, sword in hand, a thief, a reaver, a slayer, with gigantic melancholies and gigantic mirth, to tread the jeweled thrones of the Earth under his sandaled feet.

LEGENDARY EXPLOITS
At the start of the game you may choose one of the following to be Conan's Class for the entire game instead of what is listed on this card: Fighter, King, Mercenary, Pirate, Thief or Warrior.

SAVAGE SWORD
When attacking an adjacent figure with Conan, you may choose up to 2 other figures who are adjacent to both Conan and the defending figure. Any chosen Common figures are destroyed. Otherwise, if the defending figure receives 1 or more wounds, each chosen figure receives a wound.

BATTLE HARDENED
If there is at least 1 Wound Marker on this card, the most wounds Conan can receive from an attack is one.

What do I know of cultured ways, the gilt, the craft and the lie?
I, who was born in a naked land and bred in the open sky.
The subtle tongue, the sophist guile, they fail when the broadswords sing;
Rush in and die, dogs—I was a man before I was a king.

[IAmBatman]

Pretty cool! That's a lot of synergy webs to test him in.

[Tornado]

Yep, should be fun.

[IAmBatman]

Thief will probably be the strangest combinations, but I assume he probably worked with and for some nefarious characters when he was thieving.

We probably need to clarify the timing of the unblockable on P&P too.

Yeah I was going to switch him to 4 life. I was going to hit you up about the Auto-Destruct we worked on. I'll follow up soon with a DM.

[Ericth74]

I updated the Auto Destruct power, with help from @MrNobody it makes it cleaner, with less room for problems.

PULL AND PUMMEL
If Whiplash attacks a Small or Medium non-adjacent figure with his normal attack and two or more skulls are rolled, you may place the defending figure adjacent to Whiplash and roll one unblockable attack die against that figure. If a figure is moved with Pull and Pummel, it will not take any leaving engagement attacks and Whiplash may attack that Figure one additional time.

AUTO DESTRUCT or "YOU LOSE"
When Whiplash would be destroyed, you may instead choose Whiplash and any number of Android figures you control. For each chosen Android figure, roll an unblockable attack die against each figure adjacent to that chosen figure, then destroy the chosen figure. And roll an unblockable attack die against each figure within 2 spaces of Whiplash.

[Ericth74]

Still trying to decide which name I like better for the 2nd power.

[IAmBatman]

Well, one describes what's actually happening in the battle and the other is ... words?

Right but "YOU LOSE" is a direct quote from Whiplash right before he self destructs.

OK. So do I need to have just watched the movie or have a script in hand to know what's going on in the power? Or are we saying that quote is iconic enough that everyone will have that context off-hand?
