There he fell in league with its ruler, Shao Kahn, and pledged his life to him in return for enhanced power. He is now bound to the emperor by powerful dark magic.

Re: The Book of Shang Tsung - Breathing
NAME - SHANG TSUNG SPECIES - HUMAN UNIQUENESS - UNIQUE HERO CLASS - SORCERER PERSONALITY - DIABOLICAL SIZE/HEIGHT - MEDIUM 5 LIFE = 6 MOVE = 5 RANGE = 1 ATTACK = 5 DEFENSE = 6 POINTS - 280 SOUL STEAL Start the game with 7 green Soul Markers on this card. Instead of attacking, you may choose an adjacent figure and roll the 20-sided die. If you roll 9 or higher, the chosen figure receives 1 wound, and you may remove 1 Wound Marker from this card. If the chosen figure is a Unique Hero, you may also place a Soul Marker on that figure's Army Card. SHAPE-ASSUMING SORCERER Any time a numbered Order Marker is revealed on any Army Card, you may immediately choose a figure with your Soul Marker on its card and roll the 20-sided die. If you roll 9 or higher, then for this player turn, Shang Tsung must use the chosen figure's Size and its Height, Move, Range, Attack, and Defense numbers in place of his own, cannot use any other special powers on this card, and gains all of that figure's special powers. If any of its special powers refer to that figure or that figure’s card, they refer to Shang Tsung or Shang Tsung’s card instead. FLAMING SKULLS SPECIAL ATTACK Range 4. Attack 1 + Special. For each skull rolled against the defending figure with this special attack this turn, add 1 automatic skull to whatever is rolled for this special attack and subtract 1 from the defending figure's Defense number. After attacking with this special attack, you may attack with it 2 additional times. Semi-Retired C3G Hero (and first Official Member of the C3G Target Audience!)

Re: The Book of Shang Tsung - Breathing
Flaming Skulls looks pretty potent (if you're rolling hot). Very complex power but we're like 800 designs in, we've gotta start going some weird places.
I love power stealing stuff, so he's up my alley. Any specific reason for 7 markers? JOHNNY139'S CLASSIC CUSTOM THREAD! | Visit now!

Re: The Book of Shang Tsung - Breathing
I’d guess due to 7 fighters in the original game. Not something that’s absolutely necessary but I suppose it’s a nice touch.

Re: The Book of Shang Tsung - Breathing
Yeah, it was meant a) to be a high number so you're not feeling restricted by Marker number (didn't feel that was thematic) and b) to be a nice little thematic nod to the number of fighters in the first MK.

Re: The Book of Shang Tsung - Breathing
Any concerns here? I'll try to post the competitive review today. Need to get this guy moving.

Re: The Book of Shang Tsung - Breathing
I think we fleshed this guy out nicely in brainstorming so there's not too much in the way of issues here.

Quote:
Making it each skull previously rolled for the bonus would keep it much more in check, but maybe that's reining it in too much? |

Re: The Book of Shang Tsung - Breathing
CRB CHECKLIST
1. Does the design disrupt opponent's Order Markers in a way that offers a net gain in turns taken with strong figures versus the turns your opponent can take with strong figures (Ozymandias, Joker (I), Meteorite)? No. 2. Does the design offer auto-wounding that either doesn't require taking turns or is otherwise extremely efficient (War Machine, Jason Voorhees, Cosmic Cube)? No. 3. Does the design immobilize figures or prevent turn-taking (Blob, Spider-Girl, Diablo, Green Lantern Alan)? No. 4. Does the design move opponent's figures in a way that's easy to pull off and can move figures multiple spaces in multiple directions (Graviton, Magneto, Vulture)? No. 5. Does the design allow for moving friendly figures without taking turns, or for moving 2+ friendly figures while still taking a turn (Martian Manhunter [I], Green Lantern John, Angel)? No. 6. Does the figure allow for two figures, one of them being a wide range of possible figures, to both attack on a single Order Marker (Zombie, Robot, Iron Patriot, Ms. Marvel, Rocket [II], Martian Manhunter [II], Nebula, Baby Groot, Havok)? No. 7. Does the design offer any sort of passive boost outside of a narrow set of figures (Star-Lord, Sage, Brainiac 5, Captain America, Batman [III])? No. 8. Does the design help keep your allies alive just by being nearby (Daring Decoy, Aaron Cash, Jocasta, Weather Wizard)? No. 9. Is it OK for the design to have defensive abilities that could make it essentially unkillable in some matchups or endgame situations (Cosmic Cube, Healing Factor, Master Martial Artist)? N/A 10. If the figure has auto-destroy powers or powers that can force the opponent's figures to attack each other, are they balanced for strong opposing figures and/or boosts that can make the powers more reliable (Puppet Master, Psycho-Man, Enchantress)? N/A 11. Is the figure likely to earn its value many times over by either running out alone at the start of a battle (pre-eval Crow, Solomon Grundy) or by sitting in the startzone until the end of a battle (Arnim Zola, Silk Spectre)? No,with the mimicry power, I can't see him camping in the start zone. 12. Will synergies in the design create concerns for future designs (Mad Thinker, pre-eval Enchantress, Star-Lord)? No, not currently. 13. Does the design combo particularly well with one of the design concerns above (Magma)? No. He is pretty selfish.
