Ozyola's Oddments: Custom Item Photoshopping!

faraway, you don't know. I just wish I could express to you my true reaction to your post. I'll attempt to give you some inkling.

Spoiler: attempt at inkling

LOL!!!

...but make that size="20" against the forum limitations.

I only got to about, say, "Move attacker 2" (with "Move 2" already in the corner of my eye), and you already had me laughing (in anticipation) enough to share my joy in World Chat. However, I think around the time I'd hit "Draw another card," and maybe by the time "Draw one more card" came around, (I'm only using those as benchmarks -- not the sole reasons for the laughter by any means,) you literally had me in tears, good sir or madame. Thank you. It 's perfect. Better than Perfect. $;^ b

You certainly have my vote for Ozyola's next craft -- not that I have a vote or anything.

Okay! Well. I originally came to this thread just now to post a card that came to mind while opening league chests then got a key humor improvement from @DunDunDun, but in the latest draft (slight pun), I believe it still needed a little honing before submitting to the great and powerful Ozyola. Hopefully soon. $:^ }

 

Hmmm... all that talk about Spell of Sight trait got me thinking about all the unlocked CH features that require basically none or just a little bit of dev work.

Here are some of my ideas.

 

Wait What

 

Card: Evil Monologue
Quality: Handicap
Rarity: Rare
Expansion: New Age
Color Class: Drawback
Play effect 1: Trait. Draw a card. Reveal all alies hand.
Flavor Text: I have a dream ...

 

@melkor_unlimited - there's a subtle connotation you might want to avoid with your flavor text - you might want something different - gtg, though, thus don't have a suggestion off the top of my head - otherwise, I love it!

 

"And now, like a true mastermind, I will tell you my secret plans! It is not as if you could escape and ruin everything, anyway..."

 

I also might suggest changing it to "Mandatory Action. Draw two cards, then reveal all cards you and your allies hands." - an evil monologue takes up time, after all! Aside from the bonus card draw, as it is right now, it's a strictly worse Obvious Maneuver... which I think is kinda fun, in the end. That said, the fact that it draws you two cards means that it could not be very heavily itemized, otherwise you could use these to cycle through your deck WAY too rapidly.

 

On the contrary, I think:
- Each opponent should draw/discard until 2 attack cards (or 6 cards) have been drawn.
- The character delivering the monologue should get a Wild Run to attempt an impossible escape. (Impossible, because there is only one way off the board in these circumstances.)
Evil monologues are essentially the last rites of a clandestine operation. Hasten the denouement.
Just my opinion, of course.

 

now that I have more time, the subtle nuance of meaning after taking the whole card to its logical end conclusion: Martin Luther King's speech on civil equality being called evil! $8^ O yep, you probably don't want that $E^ b

--

btw, the first time, I didn't quite catch the draw a(nother) card plus the trait replacement (and I see there's no limitation on it if you play it against a GM) -- I really like Inkfingers' suggestion -- like, this could be seriously put into the real card suggestions thread (except for that whole bit about calling your hero evil .. but then, there are *Unholy* cards you can use at will, thus the hero thing is already kind of thrown out the window) -- if kept in an evil context, it could be itemized interestingly with other Unholy cards for priests, or perhaps instead (evil or not) it could be human-only 'cause that'd give them another interesting racial card *and* it totally fits the human feel vs. the elves and dwarves, both in card mechanic and in universe flavor $:^ J

 

Card: Evil Monologue v.2
Quality: Handicap
Rarity: Rare
Expansion: New Age
Color Class: Drawback
Play effect 1: Draw 2 cards. Reveal all alies hand. Mandatory Action.
Flavor Text: I have a dream ...

I did not write the autor of that sentence on purpose. You have unmasked my evil intentions.

 

I hesitate if add that restriction sentence when used against GM.
I guess its balanced by missing cantrip. And not need it.

 

Yes, the Mandatory, non-Cantrip instructions should make it fine without the GM restriction. I just said that when it was still a Trait.

However, I still highly recommend changing that flavor text as stated above. EDIT: Oh, I just noticed your reply in your previous post. Yes, sometimes we do innocent things with accidental bad consequences; with exceptions, I'm sure, it's generally better to change those things to avoid problems. ("Do not let your good be evil spoken of.")

Would this be Black+ quality? Paper- ? I mean, you *do* get two new cards out of the deal, even though the rest of the card is just bad bad bad.

 

If this card would be realised, send pizza to original autor of this idea ... http://forums.cardhunter.com/threads/bug-reflected-elvish-insight.8243/#post-102722

In my country exists a proverb which says: "The road to hell is tilled with good intentions."

 

That Evil Monologue gave me an idea:

 

Take 2 of these, add an Accelerate Time, and you get Quick Death. This Arcane Skill makes for a lovely addition for any suicidal Wizard!

 

I don't think Accelerate Time reduces duration of cards therefore ATing this would do nothing.

 

Ah, boo that....perhaps one Famous Last Words with 2x Demonic Revenge as a Priest Divine Skill instead? Besides, a Priest can be very suicidal, and Heal + card draw is more their thing..

 

I like the concept. I've always thought Death Meld/Loner/Loner would be a great elf skill. Particularly for wizards. Just add Vulnerable, and huddle up close.

 

Item name: Depressed Teen
Item type: Elf skill
Rarity: Common
Expansion: New Age
Item level: 1
Power Token: None
Cards:

Loner
Vulnerable
Death_Meld

These teens are comonly depresed and lonely, they fielings are vulnerable and they prone to suicide.

 

The elven teenage years are particularly hard because they last so long. One of the drawbacks of living thousands of years is that adolescence takes a LONG time to wrap up.
