Palm Tree

LIFE- 1
DEFENSE- 6

JUNGLE PLANT
Whenever a special power on an Army Card refers to a Jungle Piece, it refers to Palm Tree as well.

THICK FOLIAGE
When defending against a non-adjacent attack, a small, medium, or large figure adjacent to Palm Tree may roll 1 additional defense die. A figure cannot receive more than 1 defense die from Thick Foliage or Jungle Pieces.

FALLING PALM TREE
If this Palm Tree is destroyed at any point during your turn, before removing it from the Battlefield you must choose 2 spaces in a straight line from this Palm Tree. Each player rolls 1 unblockable attack die against each figure they control on these spaces whose bases are not higher than the height of this tree. Huge figures are not affected.

First Q: why is this a palm tree instead of a jungle tree?

First A: it's what they are called in the Ticalla Jungle set.

I guess we can call them whatever we want though. I'm open to a different name if people want it.

[Taeblewalker]

Should tiny figures get the defense die?

[quozl]

Oh, excellent! Then it's already a jungle piece and already has bonus defense. You don't need those two powers since they are inherent to a Palm Tree.

I was following what was done here with the Jungle Plant.

We can cut it for sure though if it's already built in.

Yeah!! Palm tree!

Not true since that’s a terrain rule and now you’re making this a DO.

What do you mean "not true"?

We've made terrain a DO before: the warehouse ruin and battlements, for example. I don't know why this is different just because palm trees give defense.

I think they should be called Isaac.

I agree with Eric, these are DOs and should probably have the rules listed out on the card.

I definitely intended Jungle Plant to be reusable with a future Palm Tree. Usually we don't reuse powers with a different name.

JUNGLE PLANT
Whenever a special power on an Army Card refers to a Jungle Piece, it refers to Jungle Plant as well.

Lol, forgot I didn't even invent the concept. I lifted it from Ark's Animated Vines, which have a plural version of the power.
