I'm looking at ...I agree, it's interesting. I'm looking at characters like Jourdonnais and Willy the Kid who have implied, free cards and that is their ability. But for free, non-equipment cards, the price seems much steeper, a la Doc Holiday with Bang! and Sid Ketchum with Birra. Your new idea sounds like a good one though, even weighing it against Elena Fuente: at most you could keep 3 cards, the fourth card would be that implied Missed! That actually sounds like a good deal.Hitman Spikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15271530854297841911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7419437603615826921.post-62921741401312484262011-03-05T18:43:47.099-08:002011-03-05T18:43:47.099-08:00You know, you have a good point.

Even though BANG! cards are very common, I didn't think it was that off balance. I still like the idea of a free card not in the limit. Perhaps I shall make it defensive for Chuck: she has a free Missed! not contributing to her limit each round (not stackable) and she has only 3 health instead.Martin Pulidohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15744590692797682125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7419437603615826921.post-61827785218291807482011-03-05T16:30:09.072-08:002011-03-05T16:30:09.072-08:00I don't think Chuck is going to work as well a...I don't think Chuck is going to work as well as you hoped. I have a character named Jake the Ripper (4 life) that was granted one free BANG! per on the premise that he could only use it at a range of one (this of it as an implied Pugnale! played at the end of each previous turn, hence the name). Even with that, the players I tested it with said that it was a little unfair. I have now changed him to a mutation of Doc Holiday, wherein he may use any single card as a Pungo! once per turn (as opposed to Doc's two for a BANG!). The idea of a free Bang, regardless of application, seems a little tipsy on the balance scale. I had the to give Jake only three life and his original ability, but I'm happy with the four life variant.Hitman Spikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15271530854297841911noreply@blogger.com
