Custom upgrade: Focus upgrade for Huge Ships

By Stefan, in X-Wing

Hi guys,

I created this mainly for the Gozanti campaign in Heroes of the Aturi Cluster, but I wanted to ask what you think of it regardless of format.

I would even go to spend one energy to change your focus results to hits.

At least although the text on this card could probably use some better formatting.

"When you make an attack you may spend one Energy to change all [eye] results into [boom] results." This makes it into a per attack situation that avoids some other questionable uses where you may want to change a die result.

You mean let it be a direct ability of the card? Seems a bit strong to me.

Good point thanks.

This is what I meant. Seems completely reasonable to me.

Yes although it looks like the cost has changed for what I believe is a better ability unless you were looking at something I wasn't thinking about.

It seemed to me the consensus was I overpriced it, so I toned it down a bit. Thanks for all the feedback!

What "consensus" are you talking about? Jetfire and I are the only comments here and neither of use said a thing about the price being too low to allow a huge ship to do something it obviously wasn't intended on getting to do. I may have misinterpreted him but I figure this would just lets you spend "energy" instead of a Focus token to turn the eyeballs into booms when you make an attack.

Now if it is just turning one eye result when a point of Energy is spent then the point reduction is likely in order but I believe we were seeing it as something that should probably do more for the cost.

Ah ok. So...should I go back to "one energy per focus" or adjust the price or leave it as is?

Shouldn't the card start with 'When attacking' instead of 'as the attacker'

Think that 4 pts and 1 energy to alter focus to hits is reasonable. It's basically saying an upgrade to add the focus action to an Epic ship should be 4 pts which as it's a staple of small and large ships seems fine given you still need to spend energy for each roll.

Thanks! And I'll change the wording again. :)
