Elements 1.4

The Mark of Chroma... Beautiful and dangerous. IMHO, I can tell you it's the biggest game changer in this update even next to this giant NPC rehash, that is if Zanz decides to give it to us...

I've been testing with it to see how much of a help it is against AI3 and FG decks.

For anyone that hasn't figured it out, changing the last 3 digits of your deck code to 8pi lets you use it in the Bestiary.

Even if I like the idea of giving other a better name, naming it chroma make it sound like an element. I think this shall be taken into consideration before changing the name.

OP updated:

The gates are now open! Go ahead and submit your NPC.
No name duplicates are allowed, if you want to submit a second version of your NPC please add a "v2" etc.
E.g.: Your NPC name is "Toxic Quail" but you have a better version: call it "Toxic Quailv2"

Creating sets of NPC is also appreciated:
E.g.: "Toxic Quail", "Elite Toxic Quail" and "Terrifying Quail of Death".

Soon I'll add a function to the bestiary that will allow us to test and view (but not modify) the submitted NPC's.

The more this develops, the more I like it. Thanks Zanz!

Hm I can't get the submit thing to work. It still says coming soon. I have reloaded the page.

The thing says it's version 1,324.

Hard refresh (ctrl+F5) should do. Clear internet temp. files if that also does not work.

AH thank you! Works perfectly now. Also thank you for very fast reply, you almost beats Majofa.

I have one question, do we have to aim for something beatable in the first place right?
Because when it comes to hight stats it become a total nightmare defeat it.
On this note, i'd like to know also, if said quests are going to be predictable in some way, like a small group of npc you may battle, when it comes to a certain level or even a specific predetermined single type of npc, in the high rankings ofc since the problem exists there?

To answer your questions:
I am currently working on creating the level 0 critters that new players will encounter in the starting zones.

The last one I created is called "Erwin" (Schrodinger cat icon), the description says:
"These felines are a common sight around the Entropy Palace, they enjoy playing with boxes.".
They have 20 hp, Schrodinger cats and vultures in the deck. Very easy to beat.

 Just ask yourself what NPC you want to create, an easy fight for a new player or a tough one? This is going to be almost like writing a book, we are creating the characters here, next we will create a place for them to exist.

The quests will come in last so that there is something to do with these characters.

is used more often to represent the cost of Other cards.

I remember differently....  is for other cards.  is for "rainbow" (whic is ofc not a card but a deck)

THe way I learned is
  = underworld, used for war
  = used for costs that aren't restricted to a single one of the 12

I think I used as indicating the "colorless" quanta usage (Luciferin, Animate Weapon...) and as "other" element (Quantum Pillar, the generic weapons, Relic, 1.31-shards...).  This somewhat agrees with Acs here.  In the end, the context of the usage of either should give away what you were meaning (generally).

In any case, I think we should start using "Chroma" now. I would also go as far as renaming "Other" to "Chroma" since it sounds better.
So... anyone kind enough to put/recreate that image for public use? It'll be nice if we could use that as an icon in our post here in the forum. Oh, and don't forget the 120x120 version too!

Working on it, will update this post when i have it done.

Edit: All nice and finished for the 120x120 size.

Fixed max HP bugs.

Added Mark of Chroma (the name of the mark is up for debate) that generates 3 random quanta per turn.

"Chroma" isn't even the final naming for it yet.  It seems a bit pre-mature to start blasting the term "Chroma" all over at this point.  Use it to refer to the quantum mark?  Sure.  However, beyond discussing things related to it I think suggestions for alternate naming are more appropriate than taking "Chroma" and running with it so soon.

Also, I am really hoping the quantum mark (Chroma, for now) gets integrated for use by player-decks in 1.4.  I think it would open the door for all kinds of cool stuff we cannot really do now (in stable deck building).
