Eidolon | Eidolon

animate weapon targets the weapon slot not the weapon, that is how we can fly a protected weapon. This should work in a similar manner.

Animate Weapon is a positive only effect. Eidolon would be used both positively and negatively. If it is permitted to effect an immaterial shield then it should do so by targeting the player not the shield slot.

I guess that is how he has it worded.

Yeah, I had it intentionally target the player for that reason similar to Animate Weapon.

A protected shield should protect the shield slot.
The shield Buff series (still a few weeks away) was intended to buff any or no shield (not necessarily by targeting)

Well, a protected shield is not invincible. What happens if I slice at the arm holding the shield rather than the shield itself?  You could potentially drop it, protected or not, so I think it makes sense thematically to bypass protected shields.

Indeed but by targeting the player not the slot.

That's how the card was initially worded.

Chaos Warp - Target player  gains a random shield.

Any other thoughts before submitting to Crucible?

Do you think it's overdoing the concept to add that the shield could also be removed instead of replaced?

Apologies to the curators if the art was being a pain in the neck. I've managed to change the art to something that's from a usuable site.

Much better!

Major thanks Zblader. I really did try looking into that site, but after I while I just got confused by the whole entirety of it.  ???

Also - breaking news! Protected creature causes heavy-PC FG's to riot in frustration! More at 11.
