Title: Avarice
Post by: kariusvega on July 05, 2018, 07:18:32 PM

Avarice
Crimson/Gray/Gold/Black Evil Enh
Interrupt the battle and discard a hero in battle. Set this evil character aside, or you may fall away one of your redeemed lost souls to protect this evil character from opponents for 3 turns.

1 Timothy 6:10

The way this is worded they never come back from set aside. Is this intentional, or is that also supposed to be three turns?

They run away and seek shelter in their found riches, but they can come back with Shrine or be discarded by The Flood etc

Interesting idea, but the ability doesn't strike me as very greedy. More murdery than anything. :o

Is not greed typical of murder? That's entirely the intent.

Specifically toward Jesus, but applicable to many :
Crimson for Judas and indulgent heretics
Gray for the Romans and Pharisees
Black for the High Priests
Gold for the Herods, all the way back to the Egyptians

All who stood to profit from Jesus' non existence

The idea of sacrificing a Redeemed Soul is a pretty heavy cost...the benefit for that cost could be even stronger IMO, but it is certainly an intriguing proposition.
