Honestly? I really think these should be custom to the players, like a forum signature, but for OCTGN, and let people have different ones for different spellbooks.

Well, it is certainly possible for individual players to customize their own messages if they are willing to dive into the code a little bit. There is a directory (\GameDatabase\9acef3d0-efa8-4d3f-a10c-54812baecdda\scripts\scriptText) which contains much of the flavor text for the game. If you want to modify it, just find the appropriate text file and  hack away (mage reveal messages will be stored in MageReveal.txt). Just be aware that any game update will overwrite your work, so you may want to make a backup copy.

Edit: I should probably mention that MageReveal.txt will not be present until the next release; this is a feature in development at the moment.

However, I think many people will be content with having a mage-specific randomized message displayed for them, with no further thought on their part. I have added the above proposals now, and look forward to more.

Just a random thought to solve this:
How about adding 1 extra zone to each side of the Arena. (so two in total) Each enchantment in zone 1 could be linked to mage 1 and vice versa for zone 2.

If you don't like these zones you could of course still use the current method.

Since you already have a way to automate zone enchantments I think it's not extremely hard to automatically link every enchantment in a particular zone to a particular mage.

Problem is irregular maps, and multiplayer maps.

We already have code that assigns default card locations for players, and it is rather long and ugly. This would require coming up with a system to assign a mage enchantment box based on the number of players and the shape of the map, which would likely add length and ugliness to the existing code.

I suppose one compromise is allowing players to attach enchantments to the mage stats card, since that is off the board.

Spawnpoints don't have to be for creatures. So far, there are no spawnpoints for incantations, attacks, or enchantments. Forcemaster suffers from lack of actions, but creatures are not the only way to compensate.

What is your opening? If you are going with a Samara Tree, I recommend including a [mwcard=MWSTX1CKC08]Gargoyle Sentry[/mwcard] to deal with fireball rushes. One of the biggest advantages that Samara Tree has over Vine Tree is that it lets you summon a Gargoyle (or Guardian Angel) to defend it on turn 1, which can make all the difference when your opponent decides to rush you.

I also have a Samara Tree book that I have been working on for a while, which you might want to take a look at. Feeding Bobcats to Kralathor is an interesting idea, though I am suspicious of the mana efficiency, cheap though they are.

The reasoning that seems to make us ask is along the lines of: Since a full action allows two move actions, and since being hindered prevents the second move action... maybe being hindered would prevent the use of a full action to use a special move action... in this case, to climb a wall.

A full action does not allow for two move actions. On its turn, a creature may either take a full action, or move and take a quick action (including movement).

Being hindered does not prevent use of full actions.

Therefore yes, you can still climb a wall when hindered.

Last one for today. I made a concept of the force knight. He's meant to make those around him weaker, and he feeds off their weakness. That's what the daze mechanic is meant to do. I'll be back tomorrow with some of the other ideas. Feel free to discuss. if you feel that these ideas are way off base just let me know, this is meant to represent what you all want.

"Nightmare Knight"? This should obviously be called Knightmare.

Also, why do all of these have the Force subtype? Psychic seems more appropriate (at least for some of them).

If someone pass through the wall of poison gas, and has a veteran's belt, can the mage change the critical damage?

I mean, the attack of the wall is critical regardless of the result, can the mage change that damage with the veteran's belt?

I think so.

Critical Damage means that all damage rolled is treated as critical. This would happen during Roll Dice (though it doesn't state this explicitly in the rules; it seems like a reasonable interpretation since critical damage applies to the results of the dice). Veteran's Belt triggers at the end of the roll dice step, after normal/critical damage has been determined.
