The Book of Durham Red

Nobody indeed! I don't mind the current trigger but I think the other way would be simpler and you wouldn't really be sacrificing any theme.

If it's kept as is I still really like this wording switch;

Doh, I forgot we had an ongoing discussion here about how that power should trigger. Just state your preference when you vote (and if you have a preference but don't have a vote, just participate in the poll anyway) and I'll update with the poll winner before starting the testing here.

Poll on STRONTIUM VAMPIRISM:

A. If there are three or more wound markers on this card at the start of her turn, after Durham Red attacks an adjacent figure, that is not an Android, destructible object or Undead, remove one wound marker from this card if the defending figure received one or more wounds.

B. After Durham Red attacks an adjacent figure, that is not an Android, destructible object or Undead, if there are three or more wound markers on this card, you may remove one wound marker from this card if the defending figure received one or more wounds.

A is probably more theme-y. When she does decide to feed she is not going to take a sip and stop.
B will help to keep her points down. So either is cool. I would start with A and dial it back to B if needed.
No preference really.

[MrNobody]

I slightly prefer B but I don’t know the character. I mainly trust Tornado’s instinct here.

Same for me.

I like B better because of the trigger timing, but I also trust T-Spinny to help get the theme nailed. So, whatever he says.

[Tornado]

Like I said, no real preference but I do think A fits her a little better.

[Yodaking]

It doesn't look like the poll question is really generating much debate here so I'm closing the poll with A being the narrow winner. SP is updated. Perhaps the closing of the poll will lead to a couple more votes here for the initial play test.

[Lord Pyre]

I like whatever fits the theme better, so whatever the LD or Tornado want

[Spidey'tilIDie]

Yea to initial

[Lazy Orang]

If the vote's still relevant, I vote A. A bit more convoluted, maybe, but it feels both more thematic and more tactically interesting.

[Karat]

Yea
