WORTHY FOE
At the start of each round, if Battle Beast does not have a Foe on the battlefield, you must choose an enemy Unique or Event Hero with the Super Strength special power on the battlefield. The chosen figure must be the Unique or Event Hero with the highest Attack number listed on its card among enemy Unique and Event Heroes with the Super Strength special power on the battlefield. Battle Beast cannot leave engagement with his Foe. When attacking his Foe, Battle Beast may re-roll all dice in his attack roll that do not show skulls 1 time.

FEROCIOUS STRIKE
When attacking with Battle Beast’s normal attack, if you roll at least:
• 2 skulls, subtract 2 from the defending figure's Defense number.
• 4 skulls, the defending figure immediately receives 1 wound.
• 6 skulls, wounds inflicted with that attack cannot be ignored.

FIGHTS ALONE
Battle Beast cannot take a turn unless you revealed a numbered Order Marker on his card for that turn and no special power on any friendly Army Card can add to his Move, Range, Attack, or Defense numbers.

SUPER STRENGTH

Could probably just say "any or all attack dice" for the blue there? Like he super wants skulls anyway. Not sure if there's a particular edge case you have in mind that would push him to re-roll skulls.

[Soundwarp SG-1]

Nope, no edge case in particular, so I think that wording works.

[tcglkn]

I think you should spell out 1 at the end of that power.

WORTHY FOE
At the start of each round, if Battle Beast does not have a Foe on the battlefield, you must choose an enemy Unique or Event Hero with the Super Strength special power on the battlefield. The chosen figure must be the Unique or Event Hero with the highest Attack number listed on its card among enemy Unique and Event Heroes with the Super Strength special power on the battlefield. Battle Beast cannot leave engagement with his Foe. When attacking his Foe, Battle Beast may re-roll all dice in his attack roll that do not show skulls 1 time.

FEROCIOUS STRIKE
When attacking with Battle Beast’s normal attack, if you roll at least:
• 2 skulls, subtract 2 from the defending figure's Defense number.
• 4 skulls, the defending figure immediately receives 1 wound.
• 6 skulls, wounds inflicted with that attack cannot be ignored.

Lot of words for the first power. What about:

WORTHY FOE
At the start of each round, if Battle Beast does not have a Foe on the battlefield, you must choose an enemy Unique or Event Hero with the Super Strength special power on the battlefield . The chosen figure must be the Unique or Event Hero with the highest Attack number listed on its card among enemy Unique and Event Heroes with the Super Strength special power on the battlefield to be his Foe. Battle Beast cannot leave engagement with his Foe. When attacking his Foe, Battle Beast may re-roll any or all attack dice one time.

Also, just to be clear, the effects of FEROCIOUS STRIKE are cumulative, right? If 6 or more skulls are rolled, all three effects occur?

[Soundwarp SG-1]

Ferocious Strike is cumulative. I can throw some 'and's in there if we want.

Worthy Foe's lingo is taken from Maxima's "Gots to find me a man" power, I'm no fan of it. I'd be down with shortening it if we don't mind it being different/updating her lingo.

I think that version stops him from picking dudes if you have higher attack than them and whatnot though? Since the 'the highest Attack number' part isn't limited to enemy Heroes now.

After chatting with LP and Tickle, I think the Super Strength part is unnecessary (again, just something that was on Maxima's card). So if we cut that what about:

WORTHY FOE
At the start of each round, if Battle Beast does not have a Foe on the battlefield, you must choose a Unique or Event Hero with the highest Attack number listed on its card from among enemy Unique and Event Heroes on the battlefield to be his Foe. Battle Beast cannot leave engagement with his Foe. When attacking his Foe, Battle Beast may re-roll any or all attack dice one time.

Think you can change the red part to just be figures since you already specify they have to be Unique or Event earlier in the power. Otherwise I like this a lot.

I do think ands would be helpful for Ferocious Strike, I knew it stacked but it probably could be a tad clearer

How's this look?

[tcglkn]

Yours is less clear on what to do if multiple figures have the same highest power. I don't think we're hurting for space that much on this card so I prefer the slight extra clarity of Soundwarp's version.

If we think that's clear enough that the highest attack part is only checking between enemy Unique/Event Heroes then I'd say it's good.
