Proposal: Spells and Potions and Monsters, oh my!

Became unpopular 1 to 5. Failed by Derrick

Adminned at 22 Jun 2018 13:06:07 UTC

Change the text of the rule “Card Types” to the following:

All cards must have exactly one type from the following list:
*Spell: A Wizard may only play five Spell-type cards in a week.
*Potion: The one of the Effects of a Potion-type card must be “Nothing Happens” and the Constraint must be “No Constraint.”
*Trick: When a Trick-type card is played, the Wizard playing it must choose a Wizard (which may be theirself) to be the Target Wizard for the proposes of that card’s Effects.
*Person: Person-type cards must have the text “Add a ‘X’ to Y.” where Y is the name of a community, and X is a string. “Add a ‘X’ to Y.” means “add the string X to the list of members of community Y.”
*Monster: The Down Effect of a Monster-type card must contain two positive numbers named the “Destruction” and “Toughness”. When the Down Effect of a Monster-type card is played the Wizard playing it must choose a community. The community Fights the monster as described in the rule “Fighting”.
*Ritual: When a Ritual-type card is played, the Wizard playing it must choose a Community who is friendly to them. That community’s Culture is called the “Power” of that card. The score of a Ritual-type card is equal to its Power. A Wizard cannot play a Ritual-type card if there are no communities that are friendly to them.
*Labor:
Cards must follow the above parameters for their type.

Change this text in the rule “Communities”:

Each Community has a Name (between one and two words), a Faction (a single word), and Ratings for War, Culture and Economy (all integers defaulting to zero), all of which are tracked in the community list in this rule.

to this:

Each Community has a Name (between one and two words), a Faction (a single word), a comma separated list of members, and Ratings for War, Culture and Economy (all integers defaulting to zero), all of which are tracked in the community list in this rule.

Create a new rule called “Fighting” with the following text:

A community’s defense is a number equal to (their Rating/5) rounded up, times (their Economy + 3).

When the Down Effect of a Monster is played on a community, wait for two days. After two days, any Wizard may perform the following Atomic Action:
*the community’s defense is compared to the card’s Toughness.
*If the community’s defense is greater than or equal to the card’s Toughness, then that community gains Culture equal to the card’s Destruction.
*If the community’s defense is less than the card’s Toughness, then that community looses Rank equal to the card’s Destruction.

why is it that all potions have no negative effects? Surely toxic potions can be brewed.

“(their Rating/5)” do you mean War Rating?

“loses Rank” what’s Rank?

@corona yes, that is the war rating. Once I have another proposal slot, I’m going to fix the two problems you brought up.

I’m really torn on this one. I like structure, but I object to some of the limits here. Most notably:

persons must add to a specific community’s ratings. I’d like to see persons limited by community size, faction and individual ratings.

Well, you can always make a new proposal with you own ideas.

against that fighting rule needs some work especially since some people could play a monster, most people forget about it and near the end of the dynasty perform the action

against Great ideas, but some errors and a few rules I don’t want to see passed. I suspect this will still have an influence on cards.
