I think limiting the cards to 3, mabey 4 powers would be appropriate. As for the powers for Simon, I'd rather his whip be represented as a power, like I belive James Murphy's is. For an attack, if it is based on his undead fighting, I likewhat we kicked around with the holy water one, if it is made for a general attack anyone, dosen't his sword have some powers in the game? I can't remeber since it's been a long time since I played Castlevania. For a move bonus, I think it should be related to the undead so as not to break the them.

Actually in the game Simon's whip is his primary weapon, then he has several secondary weapons, holy water, dagger, axe and boomerang.

I would think that in order to keep him an all-around figure, if he has three abilities, keep two of them general and 1 of them some sort of a bonus against undead.

IOW, if he gets a movement bonus against undead, his special attack should be general as well as his third ability.

I like the thought of his whip being a special ability rather than a special attack. That gives it the general use that would help make him an all-around draft pick.

Lookin forward to seeing your design, jcmcminis!

Maybe Holy water Special Attack

Range 1 attack 3

Undead figures may not roll defense

[Lamaclown]

The problem I see with a special attack that affects all figures but is especially bad for undead is why would a non-undead figure receive wounds from having water thrown on them? If he has a special attack that has negative affect for undead the attack itself should affect only undead. But then you begin to lose the all-around quality that jcmcminis is going for.

That is why I think any special attack should be completely general with no specific affect against undead and any power that is specifically against undead should be an ability based power and not an attack.

I think this should be put on the OP so it can be found easily.

Great idea, hidicul. Though Health should be Life.

[Hidicul]

Nice catch Mac, I just glanced over it without really looking.

[SirGalahad]

And Size should be moved under Personality.

No worries. That's why a community is more powerful than an individual.
