| While playing around with ways of doing this I went back to basics and asked myself, what if Spirit Stones worked like Spirit Stones. That means it captures the souls of the departed to be returned to Infinity Circuit. Now to make a concept like that to work I pondered, what if Eldar suffered 1 less Blast marker from removing casualites? They would still take Blast markers from being shot at. Careful wording to make sure WE's don't get to reduce it per DC taken but only at "death" could keep them roughly in line. Fire Prisms could take a hit and not automatically break. Yes points would have to be reviewed by this but maybe, just maybe Eldar would feel more like you were playing Eldar than with the current Spirit Stones and you could keep the name of the rule as well. Who should try this? Anybody who wants to try something new, especially non GT games. Who shouldn't try this? Those people who are only interested in GT results, but they should have stopped reading this at the beginning when I told them what to do. |
To me this doesn't seem to be as characterful as your earlier proposition - the 'Eldar don't receive BM for coming under fire, just for casualties.' Ie Eldar care when you kill them, not when you miss... This current proposition seems to be the wrong way around to me (for a dying race). They care when they get shot at, but not so much when you kill them. However, I guess it is a more toned down effect in terms of actual gameplay. My initial impression of the earlier proposition was that it was too powerful.
So how would it be in terms of balance in a GT game? (just joking
)
