Palatinus' OverPower Forum

How about this:
Character:?
Sabotage weaponry (2.0)
Target character must discard one placed card to draw pile face up and one card to dead pile. Shuffle draw pile. Once drawn, opponent chooses one character who may not place any cards frog.

are you looking to make this a delayed effect? I mean, why not simply say,

"Target character must discard 1 placed card. If successful, target may not place any cards for remainder of game."

?

Kinda, I want it to be different.
Kinda like parasite paracide in yugioh.

yeah, that's why I thought my wording was a little different... just not enough? lol

they lose 2 cards when i play it. and are 1 less card in their hand in the battle they draw it in.

3.0:
Target character must discard one placed card to draw pile face up and one card to dead pile. Shuffle draw pile. Once drawn, opponent may not concede that hand/battle.

I really like the idea going here.  what if we make it playable from reserve, and give it to hobgoblin!  is that enough to make him playable?

i'm thinking non-opd, but a slimmed down version of 3.0.  maybe only discard 1.  I like the delayed effect too.  would the opponent get to keep the face-up card that hand, or is it simply signifying that this is 'the' round, and they would draw a 9th?

No redraw. Discard as unusable or since this special will be non-opd, let them keep it in their hand. Maybe an incentive to discard a decent card, hmm?
And what I'm saying there is they can not concede 'before the battle starts' either.
How about double discard but one goes to power pack?
From reserve would be very fun and interesting.

now THAT is very interesting to me! It doesn't really break any game mechanics, since there are lots of cards that tell you to discard to a specific pile, and it has a good risk/reward factor... you might even consider making it a non-OPD, but make it Specific to Special cards (to ensure they don't choose to just pitch a Power card to the Power Pack). how about -

"Target character must discard 2 Special Cards of Opponent's choice, the first to the Power Pack, the second to the Dead Pile. Cards may be placed or in hand."

I figure specifying the order of the discards will help clarify things if they only have 1 Special.

what about a card similar to deadpool's marvels, but playable from reserve?

Play during battle as an attack. Target Character must discard 1 card for each Hit currently in his Hits to Current Battle and Permanent Record. Cards may be Placed or in Hand. (OM)

is that enough to get hobby into decks, or would he still be left by the wayside

I don't know, a big part of his character was finding osbornes stash and the fact no ne knew who he was.

Maybe one way of another, he can share or gain the ability to play a mate's specials?
Meh.

that would be an interesting card

scavenger: may play any special cards.  may be played from reserve. OPD

would that be enough to get hobby some play?

very interesting, so this special makes him 50% beyonder

ABSO-FREAKIN-LUTELY!! I gotta think that would get Hobgoblin into LOTS of decks!

Identity Adoption: may place and play any KO'd teammates specials FROG. may be played from reserve. OPD

less is more fair.

I like the Omni-special one a lot, but i'll throw another idea out there that is REALLY powerful

scavenger: This Special acts identical to any Special currently on the table. May be played from reserve. OPD
