More Virtual Cards (Cruel Caradhras, take II)

[lem0nhead]

Well it SHOULD be a unique dot. Its sick otherwise.

[Thranduil]

Both of my earlier posts are changed. Good?

Thranduil

[lem0nhead]

I STILL dont see a unique dot lol.

No, that's because I changed the card so that I was hoping it would not need it. Is it better now?

Ahhh lol sorry for being a spanner. Hmm i almost said it was better but multiple of these out and ur gonna be healing the double exerts the same turn. Still think originally with unique is better.

[Kralik]

Hmmm... IIRC Dwarves don't have much in the way of threat removal, so it's probably OK now.

[lem0nhead]

Echo Kralik though still seems good. Either youre underestimating how much damage you can make Gimli or Thrarin or you think Dwarves needs healing.

No, it's just that I was drawing my ideas from the original card. Trust me I know exactly how much damage Gimli or Thrarin will have!

Dwarven Heart
Condition
Plays on a Dwarf. Limit 1 per bearer.
If bearer wins a skirmish, you may add 2 threats to heal X other Dwarfs where X is his damage bonus.
"'... a Dwarf goes on, be the burden twice his own weight...'"
1 V 10

Couple grammatical fixes:

If bearer wins a skirmish, you may add 2 threats to heal X other Dwarves, where X is bearer's damage bonus.

Seems very powerful, but not broken. Threats for healing is usually a good trade-off, and the others are right in that they're tricky for Dwarves to remove. I'd love pairing this with Frodo bearing RoD and lots of NFFatRoD.

The main reason I wasn't going to make Dwarven Heart unique, by the way, is that I'm obeying my own rules for virtual cards (ie. no changes above the type/sub-type banner).

Now a few virtual possessions (but still - my favourite culture and the first I ever made DCs for, as it happens!).

Dwarven Armor (V)
Possession • Armor
Bearer must be a Dwarf.
At the start of each skirmish involving bearer, you may exert him and make him lose damage +X until the regroup phase to make a minion he is skirmishing lose X gametext keywords until the regroup phase.
The strongest armor still being made in Middle-Earth is forged by the Dwarves. It is so heavy, that only they can bear it.
1 V 8

Dwarven Axe (V)
Possession • Hand Weapon
Str: +2
Bearer must be a Dwarf.
Each skirmish event played in a skirmish involving bearer is twilight cost -X, where X Is bearer's damage bonus.
"' Buckler and corset, axe and sword / And shining spears were laid in horde."'
1 V 9

You may be noticing a pattern with my approach to these cards. Basically, I'm applying the later Honed and Proud and Able damage strategy to Fellowship cards.

maybe until the regroup phase...

Dwarven Axe (V)
Possession • Hand Weapon
Str: +2
Bearer must be a Dwarf.
Skirmish: Play a skirmish event during a skirmish involving bearer at twilight -X, where X is bearer's damage bonus.
"' Buckler and corset, axe and sword / And shining spears were laid in horde."'
1 V 9

well dwarves have a lot of zero cost good events...but still useful with awkward moment and such.

[Thranduil]

Or Dwarf-Lords, or Counts But One.

Argh! If you'd have just said that from the start it would have been easier!

Fine but how is that armor related? Not very themed.

Dwarven Axe (V)
Possession • Hand Weapon
Str: +2
Bearer must be a Dwarf.
Skirmish: Play a skirmish event during a skirmish involving bearer at twilight -X, where X is bearer's damage bonus.
"' Buckler and corset, axe and sword / And shining spears were laid in horde."'
1 V 9

Phrase it "the twilight cost of each skirmish event played during a skirmish involving bearer is -X. Where X is bearer's damage bonus." Powerful i guess as it basically means dwarves will never pay for skirmish events but most of em are free anyway so its ok.

I agree with lem0n. I really don't like the armor much at all. Just doesn't make any sense.

[Thranduil]

How about this?

Dwarven Armor (V)
Possession • Armor
Bearer must be a Dwarf.
Each minion skirmishing bearer loses all attribute bonuses from possessions.
Skirmish: Make a Dwarf that is damage +1 lose all damage bonuses until the regroup phase to play this possession from your discard pile on that Dwarf.
The strongest armor still being made in Middle-Earth is forged by the Dwarves. It is so heavy, that only they can bear it.
