Re: Soldiers of Valhalla - nominations and discussion
That doesn't bother me. It makes sense that a 'bigger payload' is hitting the center. So I don't feel like the center of the shot needs to get hit by the d20. I see the theme of the 4 dice being rolled as the impact and center of the event with the d20 being the splash.
I just don't like jandar borgs getting a free pass lol. |

"Check it out, I made this cool EMP gun." "Awesome, there's one lone Soulborg wrecking us out there right now. Let's shut this thing down!" "Oh, actually, bad news about that..." I understand why the designer wants this from a balance perspective, but there are so many aspects that make this feel weird. I'm mostly with you on this. Omnicron Repulsors are immune to their own Circuitry Overload, which makes it seem that they have a Faraday cage or EMP shield built into their armor to protect them from this sort of thing. But there are other Jandar soulborgs that aren't immune to the EMP response; you can absolutely EMP response against an opponent's Omnicron Sniper. Why shouldn't Shockgun hurt opponents' Omnicron Snipers as well? This is probably the last I'll say on this design. I feel like I'm being hyper critical and I'm not a huge fan of the tone this reads as, but I still think these points need to be brought up. I honestly like the idea of the shockgun, but the current (hah!) implementation doesn't do it for me. |

Don't worry about it; no problem with your tone from my end. If anything, I appreciate the opportunity to elaborate on my choices, such as they are. |

Re: Soldiers of Valhalla - nominations and discussion
Necro-Mage Elba by
@NecroBlade
has passed United Fanscape review and moves forward in the process.
Kafnirraa by @Shadowking did not pass United Fanscape review and is removed from the process. It was a close and contentious vote, but ultimately the current form of Honor of Clans was felt to be too "forced" and the same effect could be accomplished more cleanly (dok had a good idea there). Additionally, there was some concern about the use of the term "totem" for a figure that isn't carrying something that looks like an emblem. |

Re: Soldiers of Valhalla - nominations and discussion
@Shadowking
, Please don't give up on Kafnirraa. It's really close. As someone who has submitted several things to the SoV, I have had more submissions fail to pass, than succeed. Ask dok for his take on Honor of Clans. Find a better name and theme for Guardian Totem. If you've had any other ideas since submission, use this opportunity to improve the design further.
---- ---- ---- ---- This reminds me @Scytale Under the "Units that have been inducted in the Soldiers of Valhalla" Swaysil is credited to me, but that design should be credited to Maklar the Silver Prince. My Custom Designs.
--------------- Check out my maps. --------------- Get general Valkrill's symbol in SVG vector format. |

Re: Soldiers of Valhalla - nominations and discussion
It was pointed out that the carried item might be the “totem,” but that is not consistent with the mechanic of her taking the damage. As I saw it. Not that I actually vote anymore.

Re: Soldiers of Valhalla - nominations and discussion
I was kind of taking it on a "magic item" level (something like Drake's katana) rather than a "use of this physical object allows this person (or any person holding it) to do such a thing in a purely non-magical way". I know Scytale asked me about my thoughts behind her planet before, maybe I do just switch it to Faerún and then the somewhat vague/nebulous connections of it needing to be empowered by a non-Earth object in some way disappear.
