Could be a lot of fun, playing with this shield. I'd suggest introducing a mechanism to stop the rotation of the shield to increase it's tactical value. Something like "pay 1 to keep the current shield. Consumes 1-2 per turn till deactivated." deactivation cost could be 0.

not sure about this one :s Kjaska's idea is neat. Otherwise I think someone suggest a % to mutate, could be lols, although incredibly frustrating if playing against it :s

I like that, sounds very good.  Could have cost be 2 for unupped and 1 for upped to keep it in activated.  To avoid having infinite dim shield, the shield's ability should deactivate after a shield like dim runs out.

I like this . This adds more randomness to entropy. I give it an...(Drum Roll)

i like this kind of entropical-randomness... its what entropy should be, unforeseen and incalculable... for both, enemy AND entropy!

good job, jippy, think karma should be right here...  8)

I disagree. Part of what makes this entropic is the instability. Adding order/control to the card takes away from the theme.

Jippy - I'm guessing this shield does not take on Immaterial from shields like Hope?

For the turn: yes
Forever: no
Right now, it basically is that shield for a turn.  It has all effects of that shield and losses them all when the shield changes.

For Bone Wall and Dissipation Field, does it revert back to Chaos Buckler when it runs out of bones/quanta to keep going for any longer?

I would guess that if it ran out during that turn, the shield would be gone. Otherwise, it would transform after one turn.

The difference with this and that is this is the same for all creatures and you know what shield it will be.
