Re: HoME Brainstorming Thread
Just wanted to throw out my rough draft of The One Ring and see what you guys thought.
---------------------------- THE ONE RING TREASURE GLYPH RING OF POWER This figure cannot be targeted by an opponent’s non-adjacent figure for an attack or special power that requires clear sight. This figure can move through all figures, and never takes leaving engagement attacks. MASTER'S CALL At the end of the round, each of your opponent’s may roll the 20-sided die. If an opponent rolls a 15 or higher, they may choose either this figure or a Unique Hero within 4 clear sight spaces of this figure and take temporary control of the chosen figure. ---------------------------- I was thinking Sauron could affect the d20 roll on Master's Call if it wasn't too devastating already. Obviously the number can be toggled if 15 is too high or low. Last edited by Good Pig; November 17th, 2012 at 06:14 PM. |

Re: HoME Brainstorming Thread
Thanks!
I think balancing a positive and negative power on the ring would provide for some interesting game play. Make it worthwhile to pick up, but provide a drawback to grabbing it. Master's Call is meant to show the greed/desire of it's owner and those around him to keep or obtain the ring. It doesn't force other heroes to attack the Ringbearer, but that could possibly be achieved by making the wording of the power a touch more complex. |

Re: HoME Brainstorming Thread
I like Master's Call, though for simplicity's sake, we could change Ring of Power to read:
RING OF POWER The figure with this glyph has no visible hit zone. This figure can move through all figures, and never takes leaving engagement attacks. |

Re: HoME Brainstorming Thread
Taken from Arch Vile's LotR customs,
THE FELLOWSHIP After revealing an order marker on this card and taking a turn with Aragorn, you may take a turn with any one other figure you control with The Fellowship special power. Thoughts? I think it's a nice way of helping the fellowship work together, and gives you a lot of options as well as eliminating the OM problems that come with a bunch of Heroes.. |

I could see some sort of bonding or synergy between Legolas and Gimli, maybe routed through our second Aragorn, but I would prefer it refer to "elf heroes" or "heroes with X personality." That's a bridge we will cross when we get to it. Long story short, I'm opposed to that power for this project. Although it would be a great power for different circumstances.

Re: HoME Brainstorming Thread
I see from recent posts that we seem to mostly like the direction we're heading with BLAZING STRIKE SPECIAL ATTACK and LEADERSHIP/A FOOL'S HOPE. So; it seems our main talking point right now should be WISE COUNSEL.
The idea behind Wise Counsel is to give the player controlling Gandalf some tactical flexibility if he plans ahead well. Making plans and then changing them, however imperfectly, seems very Gandalf-y to me. But I'm open to alternative suggestions. If a new name will help then I'm up for that also. I also like it for gameplay reasons because its much more subtle than bonding (and admittedly less useful), but will have a similar feel. I was going to wait until editing to address the wording on WISE COUNSEL, but I changed my mind. We can perfect it when we get to editing, but if we're going to work with Wise Counsel lets start closer to the correct wording. NAME = GANDALFI would like to hear more of the opposing thoughts to this version of Gandalf, but it is growing on me. I would like to move it to design soon. Keep in mind, I'm talking about these three powers in the broad sense--if you don't like specifics of the powers, that's what the Design department is for. If we move Gandalf into Design, we'll have a little more space to start brainstorming on another character in this thread. And we can finalize these decisions in Design, but here are some personalities we could use for Gandalf: Inspiring Merciful Resolute Dauntless Bold Unprecedented options: Hopeful Wise Impatient I bolded the ones I really like. Hopeful could probably fall under "Inspiring."

Re: HoME Brainstorming Thread
I have to agree with caps. I don't think all of the Fellowship members need to bond. They can have complimetary powers that make you want to draft them together. Bonding seems best thematically to represent close ties. I could see some figures with bonding like Frodo with Hobbits or Thorin Oakenshield with Dwarves, but don't think Gandalf or Aragorn would need it. Also not a big fan of having more than 3 powers per army card, unless in a rare case it's absolutely neccessary.

Re: HoME Brainstorming Thread
Love Wise for personality. Fits with his title "Gandalf the Wise" and with the power title Wise Counsel.
I really like the general direction of OM flexibilty for the power, but feel it might be overly wordy for what it is. Mechanically Wise Counsel is basically Master Manipulator from Red Skull's card right? |

Re: HoME Brainstorming Thread
I'll try to test it out and see how it feels. Sometimes trying to explain/theoryscaping only adds to the confusion.
I had some other thoughts on the movement power. Quote:
On Gandalf for a third power I'd love to see something defensive to show how he can stand up to more powerful beings like the Balrog. Quote:
