[Suggestion] A card to popularize the lesser stab cards

The weaker stabs tend to see hardly any use. I propose a silver quality (on par with Crusher) trait that makes all your stabs penetrating. Thoughts?

 

Yeah, I rarely seen anybody play Penetrating Stab and -- oh, wait.

My gut tells me that it's important to have relatively weak cards around to make the more powerful ones shine by comparison. I was going to say Penetrating might be better if a lot of people are running around in Cushioning Armor, but the lesser stabs do little enough damage that they'd get through it anyway. I guess it matters what else comes with the trait you're considering, but chances are it'd be better overall to run boring old Impaler and big stabs like the already-Penetrating Impaling Stab even if you had to option to buff lesser stabs.

 

How about "+3 damage to any Melee attack if the target is not adjacent"?

 

This is mainly because Able Stab is hilariously bad (should do at least 5 damage). Predictable Stab and Reaching Swing are also a bit silly (they don't need drawbacks, really).

Scary.

 

Don't say that. They might give it to the trees to combine with Crusher.
