@JC McMinis the card looks good. Under the GODLY ARTIFACT portion, are we doing "this Golden Fleece card" or "this Golden Fleece's card"?

For Claws, the above mentioned version A is a safer bet as being final.

Great Work JC, Confred the final updates look good. This guy will still be a great piece of work with the changes. I am anxious to get him finished, but did not want to release a card that had a huge chance of being a broken unit.

[JC McMinis]

@Confred do you mean the part where it says keep this card handy etc. If so I cannot alter that in MSE it fills it in automatically. I tried but no can edit.

[Confred]

@JC McMinis I was referring to the apostrophe or lack of in the italicized GODLY ARTIFACT reminder text. But I notice on my at home version, I also don't have one. I must have been mistaken with tired eyes as it looks just fine without the apostrophe.

CLAWS OF HADES
(SPIRIT ENHANCEMENT)
GODLY ARTIFACT

PERMANENT TREASURE GLYPH
When attacking with a normal attack, this figure may use these claws to remove figures from this Claws of Hades card to roll 1 additional attack die to a maximum 3 additional attack dice. Each time this figure destroys a figure, place the destroyed figure on this Claws of Hades card.

GODLY ARTIFACT
After using any special power on this Claws of Hades card, if this figure is not a God or Demigod, you must roll the 20-sided die. If you roll 5 or lower, this figure receives 1 wound. If ever this figure is destroyed, place one at a time all Godly Artifacts on this figure's Army Card power-side up on spaces this figure previously occupied or on empty spaces adjacent to spaces this figure previously occupied. Godly Artifacts are considered to be Ancient Artifacts in every other way.

@TREX I agree to get him out the door. We've done so so much with this custom, it would be a shame to miss perfection due to last minute rush. I'm excited to see the final version mocked up and to have people outside our little circle experience him.

KRATOS
UTGAR

DEMIGOD
UNIQUE HERO
WARRIOR
RUTHLESS
MEDIUM 5

BY THE GODS
Each time Kratos destroys an opponent’s Unique Hero, place a Godly Artifact Glyph on this card. You can use By the Gods 5 times this game.

REACH
If an opponent's figure is within 2 spaces of Kratos, and its base is no more than 3 levels above Kratos's height or 3 levels below Kratos's base, Kratos may add 1 to his Range when attacking that figure.

VENGEANCE OF KRATOS
When Kratos attacks with a normal or special attack, if he rolls at least two skulls, he may attack one additional time. Kratos may continue attacking with normal or special attacks until he doesn’t roll at least two skulls to a maximum of three additional times.

CLIMB FROM TARTARUS 18
Before each order marker you reveal after Kratos has been destroyed, roll the 20-sided die. If you roll 18 or higher, place Kratos on any empty space that is no higher than any figure's base and immediately remove all wound markers from this card. Each time Kratos is destroyed and is your only figure on the battlefield, roll for Climb From Tartarus.

6 LIFE
MOVE 5 SPACES
RANGE 1 SPACE
ATTACK 4 DICE
DEFENSE 4 DICE
300 POINTS

Let me know if want anything else quoted for easy reference and copying.

[JC McMinis]

Ok everyone here are all the cards as they stand now. Please let me know of any errors and I will fix asap.

[Confred]

Cards looking good; liking the crossed Claws of Hades graphic especially.

Bow of Apollo: Seems to have a double space after "bow" under Permanent Glyph, "this figure may use this bow to..."
Attack 2 + Special, ie Attack(space)2(space)+(space)Special

Nemean Cestus: "This figure may use these gloves" ("gauntlets" could work too, but "gloves" are more generic and thus better in my opinion)
Attack 3 + Special, ie Attack(space)3(space)+(space)Special

Godly Artifact tag needs to be added to all the Treasure Glyphs. I'm sure they were left out for draft simplicity, but mentioning it for completion's sake

[JC McMinis]

Thanks @Confred I thought the crossed claws would be a nice touch. I had already changed the wording on the cestus to cloves but forgot to upload the corrected card to photobucket. I will fix the errors on the bow and the Godly Artifacts part will get shopped in before I put them in the display thread.

EDIT: Corrected wording on the cards are in my previous post also here is your first look at the labels for the Glyphs.











Barring any more typo corrections I think we are ready for a vote on this one. I say

[TREX]

Wow, JC these are looking sweet. for a finalized vote for me. Very cool indeed. Do we ever make pdf files for our stuff at HOF like some of the other groups. Just thought how cool that would be for getting the glyph pic sizes right. This guy has taken time and been a bit of work, but it really paid off. He looks awesome.

[Dysole]

Don't think I saw wording phraseology but

~Dysole, who was a bit busy with Gencon

[TREX]

I just seen Kratos up in the Display thread, Great Job everyone, this guy turned out great. I think your up next @Dysole , right?
