Shield Pressure

Attack, melee crushing, Damage 5, Range 1, Warrior card.
If this attack blocked, the target gains Halt. Duration 1.

"Pretty nice... Let's see if you can hold on with THIS !"

 

@wereviper I love the thematic nature of the card. However, before it becomes an in-game card , it should probably be changed from

to duration spelled the regular way.

 

This card would inspire a song over Skype every time it triggers. I love that.
Also, the proper wording of the battle log text for it seems pretty clear.

P.S. Shouldn't it be "Brick... Howse"?

 

@Potato Priest,

lol sorry yeah didn't have my spell checker on! And yes if your making refrence to the song then that would be the correct name! lol

@wereviper who would be burned and encumbered by the fire and ice boosts?

 

Frosting Cannon

Projectile attack - Type cold
Range 5 - Damage 5
Encumber 1 - duration 2
If target dies by the damage of this card or while having this card attached, create in the hand of attacker a "morsel" card.

 

What do you think about adding the following provision: "If this attack is blocked, create a Morsel card in target's hand."? (Simulates eating the frosting as it is shot at you)

 

Psi Wave

Attack/handicap - Type psychic
Range NA - Damage 3
Affects all characters Unblocable, Penetrating.

Ancestor's Blessing

Assist - Type holy
All Dwarf character Heal 4; draw a card

 

Why is this a handicap? Unless it is a mandatory action maybe, but currently I don't think this is a handicap. Also you can just say it does unpreventable damage.

 

Backbiting Strike is a pure attack card with an E/Tar rating. It's not a hybrid attack/handicap card.

Other cards like Bungled Bolt and Firestorm that can also harm the player are pure attacks as well, while Demonic Feedback is a pure assist card. This is because the negative effect the cards have on the player only occur when the player plays the card itself and they have full control over when to do so. To be a handicap card the negative effect has to be out of your control by being a mandatory action, trait or a reaction, even if it's a reaction to your own movement.

EDIT: I don't know how the Impetuous traits fit into this though, they're odd ducks and by this logic I think they should be part handicap given they're beyond the player's control and often negatively affect your play.

 

@Potato Priest Thanks for pointing that out. The enemy being hit by the attack would suffer the burn and encumber effects. Not sure how to properly word that off the top of my head.

 

Right, that was poorly written. This is more like what I had in mind:

Psi Wave
Attack/handicap - Type psychic
Range NA - Damage 3 unpreventable
Mandatory action

 

Try putting parentheses and italics around the effects of Set Ablaze and Cold Feet as is done with Attack, Soldier!

 

Speedy stab
Rare silver quality piercing melee
Damage 2 range 2 cone
(Should it be 3 damage?)

 

Dwarven Armorer (Dwarf Skill Slot only)
Rare emerald quality Hybrid Armor/Boost
Boost: Other Armor cards gain the Keep keyword
Armor: 6+ Armor 2

 

Oh my god. This is soooo much better than silver. Think about inspiring armor.

 

Currently inspiring armor is unplayably awful.
Emerald quality? Maybe amethyst?
