Seijaku | Seijaku

[Essence]

These items have a name, it's Shuriken (Japanese for "Secret Sword"). Forgive me, but even if it's deliberate, "ninjatsu" is simultaneously misleading, inaccurate, and...well, lame. 

Mechanically, however, they seem on point.  3 Other for a weapon that deals 5.2 damage per round unupped seems about right.  3 Other for a weapon that does 9.45 damage per round upped also seems reasonable.  Do they keep the skill when Animated?  Because if they do, things like Chaos Power could get pretty brutal on them.

I think it would keep the ability if animated, as would crusader. That's a powerful weapon there.

Yes.

I'm thinking of changing the name to "Seijaku" (Silence) or "Daiyaku" (Double). Would either of those sound good?

+1 original damage with certain marks?
darkness?
(+2 if the double damage activates)

Seijaku is definately the cooler name. I'd be all for that.

No. I am not aiming for another mark weapon (We already have 3, so it would be redundant), and that would also not fit on the card text.

Seijaku it is. 

Offtopic : Also congrats on the 100 Karma Essence!

EDIT: Name change done.

I don't think it's redundant
if we have a weapon that gives a bonus with mark, there is a series..

Even then, I still do not want this to be a mark based weapon. It's damage is already high enough as is and it would overflow the card text.

Alright, I've changed the card so that it has a double-damage ability instead of the accuracy ability.

A lot better and more original. Good work.
Just a point: I am not sure what a Seijaku is. I thought the weapon corresponding to your image was called Shuriken (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shuriken) ...

[ZephyrPhantom]

*sigh* Due to the rate that people ask why it's not named Shuriken, I am going to put it in the notes.

I intentionally wanted to make this card with an original sounding name, so I started with "Ninjatsu" due to it being the title of the photo.  However the name didn't float so well so I changed it to "Seijaku", which means "Silence", which has the Essence Seal of Approval.

CURATOR COMMENT:
Your card is incredibly similar to this one (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,7517.0.html) that is already in the crucible archive. If you wish to send this to crucible, it will be tagged as a remake of the linked card. You can also choose to completely redo your card, or tweak it, or something else.
I'll delete your post on the crucible thread now, and you can resubmit it when you have decided what you want to do.

Umm...no offense intended, TC14, but I entirely disagree.  The two are "incredibly similar" in that they're both throwing stars, but mechanically they couldn't be more different.  It's like saying that Morning Star and Lobotomizer are "incredibly similar" because they're both sword-shaped.

Can we get a second opinion on this?
