Also what happens when your opponent has a 0hp creature. It's impossible to divide by 0.

A 0 hp creature that didn't die?  How does that happen?

CURATOR COMMENT
- Care to fix the images to use one of the standard Image templates. http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,5039.0.html

The Correct size is 282 x 436 but yours is an obtuse 310 x 480

I don't know what to tell you--I thought it was 282x436 (see below).  Any ideas?

Need to prepare for anything, who knows, there may be a shield that comes out that, instead of protecting your life from spells, it protects your creatures from spells by reflecting it back at the opponent... and that gives me a card idea....

ScaredGirl came by and added the BBCode buffer to it.

Actually I didn't even add any BBcode, I only changed the numbers. You see our forum software looks at the size of the image and writes the size code automatically when you publish your post. Then you can just modify the post and change the size.

282x436 is the size we are using. If an image is smaller than that, it must be remade because stretched images look like crap. However if the image is bigger than 282x436 (like in this case), it can be simply made the correct size using BBcode as long as aspect ratio is about the same.

I'm not a graphic designer or anything, I just followed the recipe given.  I haven't done anything to manipulate the size of the card image.  I simply used the card template provided (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/uploads/Elements_card_template.pxd) and the Pixlr website to make the card, then saved it to my computer and uploaded it to the thread. 

If I still need to change the image size/ratio and you can tell me how to resize the image, I'll be happy to do it and repost.  Just let me know.  Thanks!

Hmm, I use Pixlr and I've had no problems. I wonder if your image host is the culprit.

Prettied up the main post.
Added details from discussion.
Added min 1 hp clarifier to make sure there isn't adivision by 0 when a mutant or other creature with 0 hp is created after the opponents last turn.
Any Issues let me know.



Suggested Re-wording

Twister
Enemy creatures may be blown away.
Chance is 1 divided by current hp.

Tornado
Enemy creatures may be blown away.
Chance is 1 divided by current hp.
Survivors take 1 damage.

After much thought, I also came up with this solution to your "0 hp creature" problem.  It seems fair to treat give 0 hp the same treatment as 1 hp to me (and you can't get greater than 100% kill rate anyway...)

Some early posters liked the "kill" wording better since it's unambiguous.  I like "blown away" since it gives the card more personality.  Will try to fix the card description soon.

Have updated card description text suggested by Card Curator.  Updated and original card included in OP. 

Anyone have a problem with the new wording?

Strange that I'm only seeing now--probably been spending less time on the card ideas and art section. Anyway looking at the progress throughout the thread, I think it's pretty good to go. Personally I would up the costs of both upped and unupped by 1 but that's a minor issue. Definitely not any more nerfing than that after reading the comparison with RoF/Fire Storm. Great work Boingo  8) [+Karma]

You used 'creature' rather than 'the creature's' when refering to the hp value.

I like it.
