The Bronze
Local
TH:2

when flipped discard a char card or two PTs. when you have INT your chars gets +1 def and target players chars get -1 Def.

Not bad, except

This card is hideously, horribly broken. The only limit is front row, and it has no cost other than activating a one drop?

Also, how does that really fit Xander? He was never first aid guy.


One more thing, is Sorcery just a rename of Willpower?

Basically yes it is, but I tried to make Sorcery as Willpower and it just didn't seem to work.

When was Xander first aid guy? Geez, I dunno, maybe when he brought Buffy back from the brink of death at the end of Season 1... Maybe... Just Maybe.

Okay, I've fixed Xander Harris, The Zeppo and added in a few of the suggested ideas for characters that I liked. Now for a few addition cards to support the team.

may only flip if you have not played a plot twist this turn. can not play any other plot tiwst this turn. target char gets 3x the sorcery(willpower) 3x attack power, does not casue braketure, and you take 3x the stun damge of your chars RC.

Awesome idea but will it have hand drawn art or photographs of scenes from the show?
