I like this game. And if I like something I enjoy poking fun at it and finding ridiculous situations.

Did you know..

If you have Tomble as Thief with Lurk, Aurim Mail, Horned Shield, and Ironbound shield
Champion with 12 unspent Valor, For The Cause, Valorous Strike, Stone armor
Beastmaster with Survivalist and wolf adjacent to Champion and Tomble
Disciple with Holy Power and Armor of Faith
For one attack Tomble will roll 26 defense dice?
Did you know that if you are a Beastmaster with Valyndra's Bane, and have a Disciple, Apothecary, and Prophet, have the Sunstone, Star of Kellos, and are attacking a large monster, under a very specific set of circumstances you can roll
1 blue die,
1 red die,
1 pseudo-red die, (Beastmaster)
3 yellow dice, (1 from disciple) and
6 green dice? (Sunstone, Star of Kellos, 2 from Apothecary, 1 from Prophet, 1 from Beastmaster)
Did you know that if you are playing Serena the Bard, have Cacophony, the Undying Skull, and the Ring of Power you can have 9 stamina? More stamina than health! (Hello, cloak of mists)
Jaes The Exile can do this too, it just takes a minimum of 275 more gold +lucky Act 2 draw
If Lindel is a Prophet Monk, has the Thief's vest, the Shroud of Dusk, and has Battle Vision then barring certain enemies/OL cards he cannot fail an awareness test?
If Solidarity (is that it?) is in play it is possible to fail the awareness test for Explosive Runes and suffer no damage?
If I got the interactions right, a Doomed Conjurer, with full fatigue and all images out, can suffer up to 18 damage from Word of Pain?
A 14 health a Beastmaster can have up to 28 health? (6 from skills, 6 from items, 2 from taint)
These are what I could think of...

Haha, scary.

Some nerfing would actually do this game some good, imo.

Specifically: A surge cancelling effect like in IA. I also find myself in late game situations where rolling defence dice for monsters can simply be skipped, due to the sheer amount of pierce the heroes have.

Thanks! I couldn't find any use for that card otherwise.

I am by no means a brilliant OL, but that just popped in my head while thinking about how much I like the Conjurer.

Are you taking into account with Tomble that you can only use the defense dice of a single other hero?

I think so.

The Disciple just gives Champion and Tomble each a brown with Armor of Faith and Holy Power, as does the Beastmaster with the wolf+Survivalist (get a brown if next to the wolf)

Could be useful for the app. :3

Make the Beastmaster One Fist & use the Iron Claws instead of Valyndra's Bane. The Iron Claws roll 1 Blue & 2 Yellow, if your other hand is empty add 1 Green. One Fist adds 1 Yellow already if his other hand is empty.
