Re: [Pod 2] Katryn Vade (Nahiri, Fuy in Stone) - Editing
Hope I'm not butting my nose in here. I've been ruminating on this design a bit today - really enjoy the Icarian theme. I did come up with an interesting alternative to Aspect of the Dragon that I thought I'd suggest. Kind of a mish-mash of some of the things I saw in this thread, with a twist. Thematically it's very similar to what you've got going on, but gameplay-wise would be pretty different I think.

You can take or leave the dragon species thing, I just thought it might be cool if she could bond with the Greenscales. Thematically I'm imagining Aspect of the Dragon as a sort of spectral dragon-shaped energy that surrounds Katryn. |

Re: [Pod 2] Katryn Vade (Nahiri, Fuy in Stone) - Editing
Hey
@Maklar the Silver Prince
, thanks so much for stopping by! Outside thoughts are always appreciated
I do like that ability, although I'm hesitant to suggest such a significant change while the figure is in Editing. However, if the rest of the team was on board with it I'd be open to the change. Here's another possibility that's maybe a bit streamlined? Quote:

This is pretty solid and I wish it had been suggested earlier. Part of my concern about Aspect as it currently stands is that it mostly feels like flavor text rather than a frequently relevant gameplay mechanic. This solves that issue for me but we are pretty late in the process so unless the team unanimously agrees they'd like a change I'm hesitant to push for it. |

Yeah, one issue it seems you've been running into is the timing of the activation of ASPECT. Having Katryn start the game with it "on" is an easy route to take in avoiding problematic power interactions. Being able to toggle it on and off seems like it might be complicated to make work correctly too (although I'm not sure, maybe that's not the case). Making Katryn into a resource-management type hero obviously changes her design completely - it'd make for a good design but you also lose the simplicity you were looking for a special attacker who has the immunities offered to Huge figures. FWIW I think in practicality you would just keep Katryn toggled "on" as a Huge (maybe a Dragon) figure with the current power you've got going on. Except in fringe cases where you're facing Dendrik or the Nhah Scirh or you want Theracus to move her. Unless I'm missing something. Nothing wrong with that. Would there be an issue of just making those her size (and maybe species) all the time for the purpose of special abilities, with the player not being able to choose? |

Re: [Pod 2] Katryn Vade (Nahiri, Fuy in Stone) - Editing
I personally don't feel a strong desire to make her bond with the Greenscales. In fact, I'd find it a bit unthematic as she never actually becomes a dragon, she's just summoning Zelrig's spirit to protect her.

Yeah, Greenscale Bonding feels wrong here imo.

Re: [Pod 2] Katryn Vade (Nahiri, Fuy in Stone) - Editing
There's a lot of design talk going on here. Should this return to Design, or should I work on Editing with what is in the OP?

Re: [Pod 2] Katryn Vade (Nahiri, Fuy in Stone) - Editing
Thanks for raising this question Scytale. I think that with the amount of discussion there has still been around Aspect of the Dragon, we should return to Design for now until the Pod has a more settled sense of what they want the power to accomplish.

Re: [Pod 2] Katryn Vade (Nahiri, Fuy in Stone) - Design
Honestly I'm fine with AotD being a niche power that's simple instead of adding bells and whistles. As was previously said, she's not actually becoming a Dragon, so anything beyond protective immunity feels a bit unnecessary. (Also we do want to err on the side of simplicity for AotV where possible, and size-changing is already new territory, plus DBSA already has a lot going on even though it's not actually that complicated.)
