Card Ideas

Change to "If this armor prevents damage from a (melee) attack, the attacker discards their oldest attack card."

 

No, this is a separate boost, as this armor doesn't need to prevent the damage for this to trigger.

 

I think @BlackVoidDeath s suggestion gets more at the idea behind the card than my wording. I'm trying to imagine what would happen if one were attacking the mutant known as "Colossus" . Ones' weapons would become blunt and useless.

Another more powerful idea would be to have armor that grants immunity to melee attacks. It would perhaps need a weakness though...

 

Indeed, but if you bit him in the wrong place (penetrating attack - which bypasses the armor) the weapon would not become blunt and useless.

Spoiler: Deadpool spoiler

Did you not see colossus getting punched in the groin in deadpool?

Armor 10 vs melee?

 

I get that one.
Jeez, what kind of backstory would this expansion have?

Well.

 

This seems much more likely, to me. I imagine the spark coming off of attacking the skin to blind the attacker. This had been shown in comics, as well.

 

Super Hero series

Magnetism
Attack -magic electrical
Emerald quality
Every adjacent character discards all melee attacks and armor.

Greater magnetism
Attack -magic electrical
Amethyst quality
Affects all characters within 3 squares that you can see discard all melee attack cards and armor cards.

Note: this would also affect allies.

I was thinking these would be monster only cards.

 

Deflecting Plate
Armor
Gold Quality.
Armor 3, Keep. This armor can prevent damage from attacks with penetrating.
Roll 4+

A while back, someone wanted counterplay to penetrating.
So here it is!

 

Been there, done that:

 

I'm going to keep my suggestion up as simpler.

 

Vicious Dodge
Block Projectile/ Magic
If this card blocks an attack deal 4 damage to each adjacent square. 4+

 

All of the following types of card can draw a card: moves, blocks, boosts, armor, assist, utility, even handicaps (by nature of being traits)
The only attack that can draw a card is Impetuous Slash and each class has an impetuous card. [EDIT: Just remembered Elvish Insight draws a card.]
Several have proposed attacks that draw a card before including: Feint: Range 1 Damage 0. Draw a Card. Cantrip.

I propose a new card and a place for it, in the vampire form cards. It would replace the confusing Consuming Touch. This would allow
Exploiting Bite
Silver Quality
Range 1. Damage 2. melee piercing
Draw a Card.

(I suggest the above art be used. Should it be 3 or 4 damage instead?)

 

Superhero Series

[edit: thanks to @timeracers

Bone Chop
Attack Melee Slashing
Silver Quality?
Damage 2. Range 1. Choose up to two different targets for this attack. They each get dealt 1 damage 3 times. [Edit: damage reduced by 1]

(this graphic could be used)

Regeneration
Boost
Emerald Quality
Trait. Attach this card to yourself. Duration 3.
Heal 1 each card you discard.


Powerful Punch
Attack
Melee crushing
Range 1. Damage 8.
Slide back 4.

 

This is 16 damage if targeting two enemies without any buffs, add a MF and thats 32 damage.

 

I was thinking these would be monster cards.
To make it safe for multiplayer: 1 damage 3 times?

 

There is a threshold for that amount and it is already used by wounded block, there is no reason to change the wording.

 

Only an informative nitpick. $;^ J

You kind of said it yourself: Impetuous Blast also draws by virtue of being a Trait. But yeah, I'd say Elvish Insight is your best example.
