The Book of Batman (Bruce Wayne) (II)

That wording doesn't really sound official.

Mine? I'm being cheeky, my suggestions are always rough and needing hammering.

I was quoting post #284, which was my first post after my initial inquiry into the subject.

I was hoping to get away with the more succinct "normally" addition, but it didn't fly past the mechanics police. (For whose input I am grateful).

[IAmBatman]

@A3n another update is needed to Shadow Strike here, since I've been appraised that my "normally" fix doesn't work.

24 July 2020 - Batman (Bruce Wayne II) - Shadow Strike updated for (better) clarity.

Thanks! Sorry for the trouble with this one!

Equipment Glyph Rules
1. When a figure you control stops on an Equipment Glyph, if it is a Unique Hero, you may choose to equip that glyph by placing it power-side up on that Unique Hero’s Army Card, as long as that Hero does not already have a glyph equipped.

2. An Equipment Glyph’s power is in effect as long as it is power-side up on the card of a figure that equipped it.

UTILITY BELT 3
At the start of the game, after Order Markers are placed and before initiative is rolled, you may place up to three Utility Equipment Glyphs of different types on this card.



Rule 1 seems to refer only to when equipping a glyph that is on the board. Rule 2 seems to indicate there may instances of E-Glyphs being Symbol-Side Up on cards.

May e-glyphs placed on Batman's card at the start of the game be placed Symbol-Side Up?
And if so, when may you flip the glyph to Power-Side?

Trying to think of instances where Superman's X-Ray Vision will come in handy in matches without glyphs on the board at the start of the game.

I guess you could theoretically place it face-down, but I don't think you'd really have a mechanic for picking it up, unless you have Bats drop it then pick it back up.

Bat Family-Swapping?


You may also swap an Equipment Glyph if a fi gure you control ends its movement adjacent to another friendly fi gure equipped with a glyph, as long as both fi gures can equip both glyphs. Place an Equipment Glyph on the card of the fi gure you control onto the card of that friendly fi gure, and vice versa.

[IAmBatman]

I suppose you could do that. The authorial intent here was for them to start equipped, but since I believe most people play him that way anyway and your approach here doesn't break anything to my knowledge, I'm not feeling the need to shut it down.

Could be a fun game of "Hide the Kryptonite Gauntlets."
