-
The abilities are very bland, try to think of something more creative than "everyone bands to David."
-
Plus Zeruiah's ability is useless except for banding unless an evil character is in battle when the hero is presented which only happens with Choose the Attacker.
-
Updated them.
-
It's a step in the right direction. The way you have it now, most of these abilities can only be useful with Unified Kingdom or Battle Cry. That's actually a cool idea, but the benefit then needs to be greater.
-
United Army would do it too, which makes these perfect for Red, if, as Pol said, they give a higher reward.
-
@Polaris: Any suggestions on how to change them?
-
Yes, make the reward for getting banded into battle more significant.
-
Yeah, like maybe one of them should remove the EC from battle somehow. ;)
-
It should do so in a way that is not generally protected from, too. And while you're at it, maybe you could tack on CBN for good measure.
-
Eh, that seems strong, maybe it should be a conditional CBN.
-
Like conditional on David!
-
Do these seem alot better? :)
-
Much better than the originals.
-
Abner is UP but the best are pretty balanced. There are wording issues galore, but we understand what you mean.
-
which needs better wording and what does he need to be good? Also thnx for the pos. feed back. ;D
-
Add more cards to list. More to come later.

Change Jesse's second effect to 'Protect David from Discard Abilities.'
Also, characters effects can only trigger in Battle, and deactivate after battle (unless it says while in play) So u never have to say 'While in Battle...'
Also, I would try to think of effects that fit w/ their roles in the Bible. Okay?

Well Gad gave David three choses and he told David to choose one of them. Which is why I gave him that ability. And with Hushai, helped protect David from Absalom which is why he gained that ability.
So tell me how those abilities do not go with their biblical reference and their interactions with David?
