Proposal: The Back Room of the Clothier

Timed out. Passes 4-1—Clucky

In the rule “Style”, directly after “Hooded,” add “Gilded,” and directly after “Wispy,” add “Evil Gotee,”.

In the rule “Style” and the subrule “Special Styles”, replace “Kevlar” with “Dragonhide”. In the gamestate page “Duel Sheet” replace every instance of “Kevlar” with “Dragonhide”.

In the subrule “Special Styles”, add the following to the list of Special Styles:

Gilded
Benefit: Whenever you receive Stars due to the Charm of a Spell, if the Charm of that Spell is at least 3, you receive 1 extra Star.

Evil Gotee
Benefit: Whenever you cast a Spell with an Effect whose text states explicitly that it causes one or more Wizards to lose Stars, the Wizard with the lowest position in the Wizard Ring among those affected Wizards loses 1 extra Star, unless they have already been affected by another Wizard’s Evil Gotee in this Duel.

In the rule “Spells”, rename the subrule “Harden” to “Upgrade” and replace the contents of that subrule with the following text.

Cost: Depends on the Style chosen from the Inputs; Hat (Cost: 3), Robes (Cost: 5), Staff (Cost: 5), Beard (Cost: 5)
Inputs: One of the Style types of Hat, Robes, Staff, or Beard
Effect: The Style of the Wizard casting this Spell is changed to the Special Style corresponding to the type chosen in the Inputs.
Traits: Reclusive

In the gamestate page “Duel Sheet” replace every instance of “Harden” with “Upgrade”.

If “Wizard Duel 11” is Open and the wiki page “Wizard Duel Spell List 11” exists, on that wiki page replace every instance of “Kevlar” with “Dragonhide”.

If “Wizard Duel 12” is Open and the wiki page “Wizard Duel Spell List 12” exists, on that wiki page rename the spell “Harden” to “Upgrade” and replace the contents of that spell to match the contents of the subrule “Upgrade”.

If “Wizard Duel 12” is Open, the Battle Master should change the selected spell of any wizard who has selected “Harden” to “Upgrade” and set the Input to “Robes”.

I left out the Staff because that’s likely to be the most controversial. It’s in a separate proposal.

I simply replaced Kevlar with Dragonhide for Duel 11 if it’s still Open if this is Enacted. The rest won’t go into effect until Duel 12.

Why build support for the variable cost if you’re not going to use it?

Not a huge fan of Evil Goatee. There is going to be luck involved with positions in the wizard ring, but could make being last really bad. Maybe make it so that multiple evil goatees don’t stack?

Also I think this breaks duel 11. As it doesn’t effect the duel 11 spell list, the effects of Harden of “Effect: The Robes of the Wizard casting this Spell are changed to Kevlar.” will remain

Oops, that was a typo. I meant for Hat to be 3. Fixed.

I fixed Evil Goatee to only affect a Wizard once per Duel so it won’t stack.

I also made sure that Harden refers to “Dragonhide” instead of “Kevlar” if this is enacted while Duel 11 is still Open.

against I don’t like the idea of retroactively changing the spell list for a duel after it’s been scheduled and people have started choosing their spells.

@Zack: it’s only a name change for the current duel.

I will blanket oppose changing the spell list after the duel is scheduled. I would support a proposal that makes a copy of the entire rulset to be used for a specific duel.
