"Magic is what makes fantasy fantastic," someone says, "you can't apply rules to them or else it loses wonder!" I respond, "Sure, but if you want to write them you will certainly want to know how they work." Writing is all about execution, and I find applying some basic laws of physics to magic systems make them more understandable and realistic. Here, I'm going to outline my basic method for developing a magic system.

So would defend work with the increased adjacency on a giant figure?

the dodge and other damage-evasion feats
high ranks in hide, move silently
the rogue sneak-attack would work well
something like that

amen to the review. basically what I thought. It would be a much cooler game with Blackbeard's Pirate Buffet, among other things.

So the stats for Alloy are up:

Another fig with abilities that are enhanced by being giant. Flurry gets better because of Giant's increased adjacency for close combat, and KC makes it harder to move around them.

So finally a giant character I think is pretty interesting...
This Chemo guy has all the stuff I think is coolest on a giant fig: plasticity and poison. This guy can keep a bunch of figs pretty tied up, and be dealing them automatic damage each turn. And on a giant character with starting 3 damage the force blast could actually be useful in messing with your opponent's positioning. If I still collected these things I'd definitely be interested in him.

I think Warpo's just getting the "he's so goofy he's cool" vote. I like Fragment for all that you mentioned, plus I think she'd be the best nemesis for UXB.

I vote fragment. With a mysterious background, her origins could be the same as the wierd hospital/experiemnt thing that created UXB. So they could be arch-enemies and then discover that...they're sisters! (or something) DUN DUN DUN

Gonna have to swarm or lure the opponent in with that team. Nobody really has the defense to stand even a moderate beating, and anyone on that team could get wiped out or relegated to uselessness pretty easily.

Is there a limit to the number of players in that draft? I think I can make it, and big ol' events are always a hoot.
