  1. Really like these; can definitely see them working well for a sword-on-sword duel or something. Great stuff! (Also your taste in art is sublime)

  2. Aah, beautiful!
    Already was hoping for something like that, after the last one with the different HP for everyone.
    Like this alot! Together with the HP thing this should be stuff for very unique gaming experiences.

    Though I have to admit that I also hoped for something like:
    "Your damage is healing: Your strikes give the target HP instead of taking it. When they reach twice their original amount, you kill them by turning them into a moveless, yet healthy, mount of flesh."
    Well, this would certainly break group combats ... but hey, what isn't broken these days, huh?

    2. there's a ton of possibility with this tho like; your damage is saw traps; you may not attack conscious targets directly, but if they are at your mercy inside of an intricate trap room of your own design, Xdamage where X is the number of seconds they have to devise a solution to the trap before it triggers

  3. #12, can I deal one million damage and my opponent can take two million actions before they just explode into quarks? At 6 second rounds, that is 138 days later. Assuming they take the "sleep" action each round during the night...
