Who is King Saul discarding, himself or the Philistine?

Arrthoa · « **Reply #2 on:** February 24, 2012, 10:08:08 AM »

Himself is who he is discarding. Thanks for pointing that out it is corrected now.

I do find it ironic that the only non-giant philistine King Saul won't kill himself after fighting (because they negate him) is the one that was there when he died.

Philistine's Challenge seems like Goliath squared. It does basically the same thing just with the extra thing about capture which makes it somewhat overpowered to me.

There I fixed them both. Challenge is no a fight by the numbers and King Saul is a CBN by Philistine.

King Saul
Purple 10/10 WC
Identifier: Israelite King, Prophet
Ability: May band to any Israelite royalty mentioned in I Samuel. If Blocked by a Non-Giant Philistine, discard King Saul after battle regardless of battle outcome. Cannot be negated by a Philistine.
Reference: Same

I don't like the idea of Saul banding to David, they weren't on chummy terms for the greater part of David's life. In addition to that I think that Saul is kinda UP.

Philistines at Mount ? (The one where King Saul was Killed)
Black 8/10 WC
Identifier: Philistine, Generic
Ability: May band to a Generic Philistine. Special Abilities on O.T. Purple Heroes are Negated. Cannot be Prevented.

I think his numbers are a bit too high for a banding character, maybe make him 6/6 or something like that?

The way Philistine’s Challenge is currently worded it would negate itself. You may want to make this one CBN.

Op. In T2 4 of these banded to a Garrison with horses.

The next day, when the Philistines came to strip the dead, they found Saul and his three sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.
1 Sam. 32:8

I like the first two, but Philistine challenge is op, Considering Goliath, new hero, and do it again.

I'm not sure it's OP, Sam is the major strat out there right now and sam revolves around having certain heroes in battle, this fixes the problem by only allowing one of those heroes, and in an BTN battle no less. This one is probably my favorite idea of those listed here.

, it's not op. I like the idea, but it should say "The defeated Character is captured to opponent's Land of Bondage.

King Saul shouldn't Discard himself, I'd suggest having the Philistine Character discard a OT Royal instead.
Also, King Saul is too up.

Redid King Saul, where he can recure O.T. purple enhancements

Wings of Music · « **Reply #12 on:** February 24, 2012, 06:03:25 PM »

I like the King Saul idea, now you just need a CTB purple enhancement to make it work...

~~Also Philly Challenge still negates itself.~~

Arrthoa · « **Reply #13 on:** February 24, 2012, 06:06:12 PM »

what's CTB?

Wings of Music · « **Reply #14 on:** February 24, 2012, 06:07:33 PM »

Choose the Blocker. That way King Saul can choose a Phillistine to block for him and thereby causing his ability to trigger.

EDIT: I just realized that philistines at mount Gilboa is not generic as it's title refers to a specific group of philistines. This is probably a good thing though since it keeps them from being OP.
