That sounds reasonable . . . just disappointingly non-samurai like.

Shouldn't the Rogue in stead be an archer since his skills focus on the bow . . . I don't know that's just been bothering me a bit.

I was dissappointed when I first played the Soul Reaver and she did not, in fact, reave the souls of her enemies.

I would like to see an ability which reflects this replace the duel ability.

Something which may fit is: If the Soul Reaver deals a killing blow as part of her counter attack she regains one life . . . or since duel is a cost ability, spend one spell and she regains lifepoints (1) if the attack is a killing blow.

I like the second option since it makes more sense in my head.

Yeah there are summons that start with one hit point and this ability is expensive because the samurai gets an additional attack, but I found that the warrior's abilities tend to outshine the samurai's by far.

My suggestion to make the samurai more interesting would be to just allow the ability to give the Samurai an extra attack at the cost of three spells.

As an option This double attack could instead stay cheap (1-2) but both attacks are made at a reduced strength (cost 2, can make an additional attack, both attacks made at -1 strength). Both options still take advantage of the Samurai's damage bonus, but have costs or penalties to offset that.

Now that I think about it, I like the second option.

Being good is fun and all, but I think it would be sweet to have evil characters as well.

Although the Soul Reaver kind of rides the edge a bit in my oppinion.

Although, I'm not entirely familiar with the setting yet. Does the setting have room for more fantastical creatures and undead hordes or whatever?

The cost for the Barbarian's Charge seems a bit expensive to me for just four movement spaces. Now, if he also got a bonus Strength (for the turn) it may be worth it. To prevent it from being used in excess a defense penalty until the start of next turn could suffice.

I'm just not a big fan of spending a precious card for just four steps.

I'm all for this feature, but at the same time anything that provides bonuses to magic scares me. If one turns out to be "stronger" then another the match might be decided by a race to the bonus tile.

Does that mean you are eventually going to name each of the characters?

What about simply expanding this idea into environmental hazards (as opposed to the generic block). For example, a river of lava, which can cause damage if you get near it or teleportation gates randomly scattered on the map (with the links being random too) . . . or even traps of some type.
