How about having Moat reduce damage based on how much  you have?  works thematically 8)

it does, but there would be a problem balancing it against titanium/diamond shield.

With an upkeep of  cause it keeps filling up? idk lol just tossing ideas

eh monsters going in and climbing out take water with them?

I would think that burrowed creatures could dig underneath it... maybe something like:
"Shield: Uses 1 to absorb 4 damage from physical sources.  Water and burrowed creatures are unaffected."

Very similar to the shield. Given the duo requirement and the small limit on affected creatures, it could probably do with a small cost reduction. (after all, dissipation shield only costs 3 )

I originally had a bigger list of excepted creatures, keeping it to just water now (and should add neutral) to make it the same as flooding. i like the cost where it is, if it's overcosted, I'd rather up the power level than lower the cost, mostly so encourages a duo as opposed to just being splashed.

OR potentially burrow INTO it and drown!

ehhh the moat is shallow enough that burrowed creatures just go under it.

So borrowed creatures are not affected by Moats?

Good point. Balancing realism / thematic ties and simplicity is often a delicate process. So I can definitely see why keeping the number of exceptions small is also good (since otherwise it gets to be a headache for new players to use).
