    Bees....bees?! Pretty sure I've never seen bees pounce or rake....maybe a feline, such as lions or panthers?

  5. Frostguard

    Frostguard Thaumaturge

    Arcane Vision
    Boost
    Trait. Attach to yourself. You might draw line of sight through any square except blocking terrain. Duration 3.
    I see... dead people.

    Sandstorm
    Attack, Magic Earth, Damage 2, Range 4
    Burst 2. Affected squares become Sand terrain. (Characters standing on Sand terrain must discard their oldest Armor card if able, or else their oldest card. No line of sight through Sand terrain.) Duration 2.
    May the desert ruin you and the dunes consume you.
    Note: The discard portion is probably too complicated.

    Quicksand
    Attack, Magic Earth, Range 8
    Affected square becomes Quicksand terrain. (Stop. When occupant plays a Move card, cancel that card and place that character onto a random adjacent square.) Duration 2.

    Heatwave
    Attack, Magic Fire, Range 3
    Affects all characters in range except the caster. All affected characters take two points of Penetrating Fire damage for every Armor card in their hand.
    All of a sudden, Elrann cursed himself for meticulously buckling all the straps of his platemail.
    Optional: Create and attach a Combustible card to each affected character. Most likely monster-only in either form.

    Solar Flare
    Attack, Magic Fire, Damage 4, Range 4
    Cone. Blind. Duration 1. This card also affects the caster.

    Ankh
    Boost
    If you are reduced to zero hit points, Heal 6.

    Eye of Ra
    Attack, Magic Fire, Damage 3, Range 4
    Affects all characters in range except the caster. Burning 2, Duration 2. All damage dealt by this card is Penetrating.
    Never enter a staring contest with a god. Let me tell you, they tend to win.

    Ring of Fire
    Assist, Magic Fire
    Attach to target. At the start of each round, every adjacent character takes three points of Fire damage.
    Note 1: Might be penetrating.
    Note 2: Might be changed to attach a new card with Burning 3, Duration 1 to each adjacent character for synergy with Firestarter.
    Note 3: Might be Boost and Trait as well.

    Mental Fortress
    Boost
    Trait. Attach to yourself. You are immune to Psychic cards. Duration 3.
    Long note: Now don't get me wrong, I'm not an amnesiac yet. I know I've posted something like this way back, even under the same name, but I thought it might be too complicated or problematic. This one, however, looks rather useless.
    It made me think, though. There is one Psychic card available to players now - Hypnotic Beacon. It's not much, true. But I think that there are a few more that could easily be reclassified to Psychic - in fact, I came to question why they aren't Psychic in the first place!
    Without claiming to be all-inclusive: Perplexing Ray, Short Perplexing Ray, Memory Loss, Mind Worm, Mind Munch, Mind Drain, Dazing Bolt, possibly Mind Muddle and Maze Of The Mind.
    Better yet, Cowardly, Fright, and Dropped Guard could get a Psychic keyword (in the same way Ouch! has Melee Piercing), and you'd be immune to them, too! It could be an opportunity to bring those, if you felt like gambling a bit.
    It wouldn't prevent discards from Unnerving Strike or Startling Strike, though, sadly.

    Thanks, @WexMajor, indeed Stone Form was intended for something sufficiently gargoyle-like. I like Flagellate, personally, good and fitting to the theme, if a little underpowered.

    Didn't you suggest this already? $:^ P
    EDIT: ah, nevermind, found what I guess I was thinking on page 2 of this thread:
    ~
    LOL! @ flavor text $E^ b beautiful
    ..as for mechanics, put this on an Elf Skill, and we're set..
    ..oh, unless you meant to put it on an Arcane Skill, in which case put Disenchant on an Elf Skill, and it's still a fright..

    Arcane Vision should say may, not might. Ring of Fire needs a Duration. Seriously, proofread!

    Regarding eye of Ra how about linear instead of "affects everyone in range?"
    Regarding Ring of Fire, I really like this one but I would prefer it to be a micro-firestorm. So range 1. Damage 1. Burning 2. The question is always how much damage and burning that it might be used over current cards situationally but not too much so as to be broken or render other small burning cards powerless by comparison.
    How about Ankh block Block any if the base damage of the card is as much as your health. Heal 6.

    Recommendations:
    1 - Change "every enemy" to "every character," because at that point you won't have any friends.
    2 - Itemize card with combustible.
    3 - If the holder has a burning attachment when Extraordinarily Gassy triggers (or perhaps when it is drawn), immediately discard Extraordinarily Gassy and replace it with Rocket Boost.

    Rocket Boost
    Move
    Take 12 Unpreventable Damage, Randomly move 6, Fly
