I was looking through the forums a while ago and I found this forum: http://www.heroscapers.com/community...ead.php?t=4696

And I said to myself, hey that looks pretty good so I revised it a little and here’s what I made. The idea is that these are drafted like normal units. The cost points. Once you draft them you put the under(visually) the unit that you want to use that item.(hence the shape)(the text is separate and in a freaky column on some because I layered them in MS word)

from newest to oldest now.







ATLANTEAN
WATER
ENHANCEMENT

affected negatively
by water and gets

SPIRITUAL PLANE
This unit can only
be attacked by
spirits, wizards,
undead, witches
and mages who
now get plus 2
attack dice when
attacking this unit.
This unit is never
Attacked when
leaving an engage-
-ment and can
move through
all units.

This ability came to my first when i was researching the ring of power on wikipedia. It then improved after I looked at agent carr's card. Ghost walk and disengage were just stariung me in the face saying "use me!"



Excalibur may
only be equipped
to knights and
champions.

IT IS LEGEND
When attacking,
this unit gets
plus 2 attack
die against
figures from
Icaria or
Feylund.

I got the idea for the ability from a custom unit that i cant remember what he looked like or his name.


(*new pic*)

kill a figure each
turn he dies.

This unit gets plus
one attack die
against wolves.

move

before attacking, you

the chosen figure,
that figure's Army
Card and all figures
on that army card.



Bullet-Proof Vest

Hi Brickman, I like what you have there, but unfortunately, I have never been into the equipment type of add ons. That is just me. They seem to be pretty well thought out and I do like the pictures and shape of the cards. Good work.

[brickman1444]

I was thinking about making an Item that gives the gift of magic, What are some of the best magic abilities?

Yeah, I remember that one! Actually, I just reposted the Dwarves and their equipment over in my customs thread, that I just restarted. There are a couple of problems with equipment that aren't addressed with your cards, and it caused some confusion with the contest that was run. Namely, who can use these items. What if I purchase an invisibility cloak for a squad? Like, a common squad, like... oh... the Warriors of Ashra. I'd bet that a 400 point army of the invisibility cloak and 6 squads of the WoA would be pretty unstoppable.

I like the idea of the smaller cards that connect to the larger cards ( I completely didn't get why they were shaped like that until I read the other thread) I think that you need the text for the equipment on the card though. It would just make the reference easier.

Actually, I really like the idea of attaching it to the bottom. Thanks riledguy.

I would suggest taking a look through Doc_Savage's thread or Karkadinn's thread (if you haven't already). They have, in my opinion, the best grasp on items.

[brickman1444]

I actually do, often, look through Doc savage's customs and he does have some really good ones. I based the bullet proof vest on his. I'll try to add who can use the Items and add the text directly to the card, but it is pretty nice to be able to easily change the card and the text by themselves.

[ikkyu142]

I like your format and used it to convert Violet's FST cards to use. Doc was ind enough to send me his PS files and saved me a ton of time.

[brickman1444]

is the zero there becuase only that one unit can use it or are you not sure about the points?

[ikkyu142]

Right now the units are tied solely to Violet. Later I make my own mod for others to use it.

[brickman1444]

I was looking through the cut and paste index of abilities and this just jumped out at me.

Just thought up a great idea too. how about making legendary items like excalibur, the holy grail and a ring from LOTR?
