If it stays a percent chance to lobo, maybe just have the upped be a slightly better percentage.

[ScytherLoL]

So if I ditch the physical damage reduction and go with 40% in the upped version would that be a fair idea to put forward?

Thanks

Sorry I started discussion points on the percentage draw and that was one of them. My apoligies. The original card is still 30% which isn't much thus the confusion and the discussion.

I like the idea of 10 +N/2 % in some ways but I think that would provide a very low % even with fractal pests (The highest you could go on this is 31% which means it may as well stay as it is.

Maybe if it is 2% per creature that could work. Thus using the Hope mechanic of emitting creatures. Would you do it with and ?

Thus you could possibly have up to 56% chance of doing this but most likely not get that high.

Personally I still want to stay at 30%

Thanks

Just make it 20+N%

Yes.  The little 12 Angry Men-style jury in my head is still out on how balanced this card is, though. 

[TheOwner]

I agree

[ScytherLoL]

So one idea has been to change the % to:

Shield: Attacking creatures have a 20% + N% to be Lobotimised. Where N is the number od creatures you have in play.

How does this sound?

Thanks

At full field that's 43%.  Guess it could be practical with Fractal Devourers... or make it based on darkness quanta?

Never been a fan of low probabilities.  30+N% sounds better, but I would up the quantum cost.

I love it considering I suggested it

[ScytherLoL]

So if I were to up the percentage:

Shield: Attacking creatures have a 30% + N% to be Lobotimised. Where N is the number of creatures you have in play.

I would also up the cost:

Despair (unupgraded) 8
Despair (upgraded)     8

Maybe even higher.

Should I leave the Physical damage reduction in or drop it?

Thanks

Upped should cost one less and have 1 Damage Block or maybe make it Protected

[wizelsnarf]

I think you should just drop damage blocking because it is a disadvantage in some ways. Just make the upped cheaper with the same mechanic. That or 40 + N% instead of 30....

Would this remove Immortal? Normally, the creature cannot be targeted and thus "immortality" cannot be removed.
However, shields can affect an immortal creature, meaning there is a possibility of removing the Immortal ability.
