The Book of Polaris

[Ronin]

Figure, Bio, R&Cs, SP Formatting, Spoilers, Unresolved Discussion, and Playtests look good.

One small suggestion on the powers front, just to slightly rearrange Magnetic Bubble Trap for better grammar and clarity.

MAGNETIC BUBBLE TRAP
Before an opponent moves a figure with your Magnetic Bubble Marker on its card, that opponent must roll the 20-sided die. If that opponent rolls 15 or lower, that figure may not move. If that opponent rolls 16 or higher, return your Magnetic Bubble Marker to this card.

EDIT: It may actually be a better idea to further clarify and say "Before an opponent moves a figure that opponent controls..."

[Viegon]

Well, any rewording depends on the effect we want. The wording in the SP forces the roll to trigger regardless of who is moving the opponent's figure (meaning it could trigger if a tosser you control tried to move the figure). Your rewording in the quote flips that, forcing it to also trigger when an opponent's tosser attempts to move a figure you control with the marker. Your other suggestion though locks it down to only triggering when an opponent is moving one of their figures with the marker. I believe the third option would be the intent, but TB will have to make the final say on this.

[Ronin]

Yeah, there are some slight mechanical nuances to changing it. The current SP wording does need updated no matter what, though. Right now, if you have two opponents and opponent A tries to move opponent B's figure with a special power, it's not clear who has to roll the 20-sided die.

[Viegon]

Good point, I missed that oddity.

[TrollBrute]

The thematic idea is that she's using her magnetic powers to lock someone in place, preventing them from moving. It wasn't something I considered, but that would presumably extend to someone else trying to move them. It makes sense to me that she could allow her allies to move that figure, but that's not a big deal. Whatever wording is cleaner works for me, but it should block all opponents from moving the trapped figure.

[Viegon]

I think this is the wording we want then; it triggers anytime any opponent moves a figure with the Bubble Marker (whether it be their figure, your figure, or another player's figure), but doesn't affect Polaris' team if they move the figure with the marker.

Works for me. SP updated, so we'll need a card update when you have time @japes .

Just a bump to make sure this doesn't get overlooked. I know we've been throwing a bunch of updates at you lately.

[japes]

It was overlooked. Thanks for the bump.

Cards Updated.

Was just looking this over after realizing that she bonds with Captain Britain, and I wanted clarification here:

Is there a move/place distinction here? If an opponent's Mandarin wants to move Captain Britain with the e-mag ring, but Polaris put the bubble marker on Captain Britain's card, does Mandarin need to roll?

[Ronin]

Intent-wise, there's not a clear answer because we did end up slightly tweaking this one mechanically, on the grounds that the old version was unclear.

As written, I would say there is no move/place distinction there and Mandarin would need to roll.
