Negate all special abilities?  A bit overpowered I would say.....

Change it to all SAs in current battle and it's really nice.

I thought that was understood to be "in battle" since Moses has to go into battle for the ability to activate.

In other words "negate special abilities" in battle cannot target any special abilities outside of battle. Am I mistaken?

Well, the Warrior's Captain has similar wording (except banding) and he was given a play as to affect only characters and enhancements. And since some special abilities are active outside of battle (LS's, Forts, etc.) and some characters can negate those abilities (Abraham, The Tartan) then I think your Moses would need to specify Characters and Enhancements in order to not be unbelievably OP'd.

Thanks for that clarification. I will correct it.

Update: Corrected. See above.

Two more versions of Moses.

Bible verse explains added abilities for Moses on right :-).

Wouldn't it be more accurate to light Golden Calf on fire and rip Tables of the Law into pieces?  ::)

ROTF. Nice. I suppose Haman's plot sets a precedent for those sorts of "abilities!"

I like Dore's depictions of Moses, especially the one in which he smashes the tablets - a righteous anger if you will.
