Surprised that most people didn’t attach numbers to their abilities.

Why

#29

that’s one of the powers i would have denied for being outside the structure of the game tbh but

#30

I mean, it also doubles as an anti-Call-Option measure.

I’m imagining getting hit with, like, 1500 damage from it.

It’s not there, but I find it really funny how a countermeasure was built in just in case.

In practice it’s just a countermeasure to The Consequence of Bidding or “i am about to die we will play the game again and nothing means anything”
just kind of a blatantly unfun power imo

(which is a central mechanic of the game, and it basically just gets rid of it entirely, so it’s outside the fundamental structure of the game and therefore ~should be denied if i were hosting it ofc)

if it was a countermeasure to call option then i would much prefer a power that says “for every health target player has over 100, they take 3 damage (all in one burst)”

#37

I think we can lower the threshold (though we’d need to alter the secondary ability to compensate).
Balancing decisions.

its possible i mislead the players a bit by overly emphasizing to just try to think of ideas, i just wanted people to not stress over balance, not that they can’t suggest their own values. but it’s perfectly fine, that’s why’ll have this phase, we can suggest a value for everything

or something like “Energy Bomb” (listed below) but less fucking stupid

energy bomb

Energy Bomb: Burn X to cause another player to gain X Health. If this causes their Health to exceed 100, they die and divide their Health among all players except Energy Bomb’s owner as unblockable damage (rounded down).
