ART: Kael Hate IDEA: Kael Hate NOTES: - When it comes to Rooks turn to take an action it performs the check, if you have more life then the Rook becomes delayed 1 turn. This passive ability is called "Defensive" SERIES: Opposites Attract Entry http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,7668.0.html Ruhk http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,8077.0.html

What if you have an equal number of life quanta? i.e. 0?

It says "more".

I like this card. And I like that big bird even more.

I like this mechanic of:

If you have more Life than your
opponent  then Rook is Delayed.

I guess my only problem with this card is that there's this big rock, that has the sniper skill? Where does that arrow come from?

I like how the card mimics bunker and works only when your opponent is on offense.

What I dont like is that this card is an Eagle's Eye that keeps weapon slot free, doesnt require Animate Weapon to have multiple copies running, and has quint/protection within its own element. Putting CC permanent that is not weapon, in the only element that has permanent protection, makes the card very VERY strong. Too strong if I may say.

  quanta or health? I'm guessing the latter actually. I saw this card and I thought defensive abilities were quite a good concept. Then I opened the link to Ruhk in another tab and I was like 'Wha?' I think it's better to work on Rook as a standalone first, wait for the wings shield to be implemented (if it will be), and then think about the creature that roosts in the Rook.

How about calling it Rockfall or something.

A Rook is a flank position allowing you to take advantage of the opponent with ranged attacks. In old times it was a Chariot maneuver, in medieval times the anchorage of a tower or Bastion (Also why the Rook in Chess is a Castle Tower rather than a Chariot). It is also a Cliff Outcropping preventing a flank movement. (Also a Swindler or Cheat who works by offhand misdirection)

I've chosen Rook to be represented by a Terrain formation the Elemental has created where he/she/it can use Air quanta to sling assault down on his oponent. So the Arrow comes from the Elemental. This is also why it only works on the Defence, when the opponent is coming to you.

How about calling it Rockfall or something.

Cause that would ruin the Schtick of having 2 synergystic cards from opposite elements having the same pronounced name. Rook and Ruhk are both pronounced the same.

No I was referring to the ability, not the card itself, since rocks never really snipe people, they burrow people under rocks that fall off.

Too Strong?
Too Weak?
Just right?

If you have more Life than your
opponent  then Rook is Delayed.
