Set 26 "Desperation" Mechanic Discussion

[Shino'sDad]

2.9.0.5 Played abilities that are preceded by the term desperation (i.e., Desperation F: ) can only be
played by a player if the current vitality of that player’s character is less than half of his
maximum vitality (rounded down).

Guess the game.
Interesting port into this game I suppose.

Interesting. I've never played L5R. Can't find anyone to teach me, or I would be apt to give it a spin.

I don't think we'll be seeing Desperation on anything too game breaking. If anything, we'll see it on cards that probably Should do their effect at twice it's power already, but instead have their effect halved in order to include the new mechanic itself.

For example, if this Kisame was exactly the same except that he said:

[Attacker | Mission] Water, Water: Discard 2 of your opponent's chakra. In that case, move the top 2 cards of your deck to your chakra area.

He would have been a perfectly fine 5 drop Rare.

It's not L5R. It's UFS (Universal Fighting System). =.=

[spgoel]

really interesting, this and inherit would be a good combo

[spiritomb]

Fateful hour anyone?

[anbu neji]

This makes me sooo excited for lightning!

[killerkimimaro]

UFS has desperation lol
