Slay the Spire: Board Game - Custom Guardian Character

Slay the Spire: Board Game - Custom Downfall Characters

Description
This mod now works with the Slay the Spire Board Game - Homebrew Character Loader created by bcsj

I translated the Guardian character from the Downfall Fan Expansion into the board game including:
- 4 unique starting cards (12 total).
- 14 unique common cards (28 total).
- 30 unique uncommon cards (30 total).
- 17 unique rare cards (17 total).
- 1 unique golden ticket card (2 total).
- 16 unique Purified Gem cards.
- 4 unique Fragmented Gem Cards
- 10 Thorns tokens.
- The Guardian Play board.
- The Guardian Play Mat.
- The Guardian Standee.
- The Guardian Rulebook

The Guardian wasn’t always one of my favorite characters, but I felt like I could really do something interesting with it as the Gem mechanic needed to be completely revamped. Even though besides the Gems, the main mechanics were easy to implement, but the dynamic of turning temporary stats into permanent stats was a bit more tricky. I also included the Thorns mechanic of the main games as I felt that it was too integral with the identity of The Guardian.

(GIVE FEEDBACK IN THE COMMENTS IF YOU TRIED IT OUT)

----------------

Special Rules:

- When putting a card into Stasis you always look at its original cost.

- X cost cards, curses and status cards are treated as 0 cost cards in case of Stasis.

- If you activate the Amethyst Gem (gain Strength, but lose at end of turn) via an attack, don’t apply the strength boost to that attack.

- You can only have a maximum of 10 Thorns at once.

- I would recommend placing a Stasis cube on the starting relic when using it so you know you've already used it this combat.

- You can also place a Stasis cube next to the text describing Defense Mode so you can see if you gained it this turn or not for specific card effects and so you don't forget to remove the Thorns token and keep your leftover block.

----------------

I haven’t playtested this character a lot but I was able to beat the hearth the first time I tried it (I died at the heart with my other 2 characters). So I’m not sure if he’s a bit too strong or if I was lucky with card, relics and potion drops. The Gem mechanic might also be a bit too strong, so if you playtested the character let me know via the comments.

@T00nblink Heads up to the mod creator, Love your work!

The Spiker Protocol power I believe is miswritten, as it says you lose the thorns from it at the end of the turn, when you're supposed to lose it at the start of the turn. If you lost it at the end of the turn, it would be effectively useless.

Is there a template I could use for custom player boards and mats?

@T00nblink Hi, I would like to produce a physical edition of this mod. Can we talk in direct message?

well, i still hope that youll get inspiration from any modded characters to continue on! i still hope to see either the champ or gremlins at some point in time being! champ might be sort of easiest for you though, continue to make wonderful projects like these friend!

@stormy I believe bcsj (who created the homebrew character loader) has some card templates. I personally just create my own cards as I like to have the freedom but you could ask him about that.

is there a possible way on supporting making new characters to play at all? i have a few ideas that might work well with the board game and modded characters

@perdyk

Yeah I tried to have it be less cluttered via separate rules, with Stasis being able to be put in a PDF. I do think most effects need to be on the board itself like how the Mode Shift works. I might release a version with the less cluttered version with the extra rules in a PDF, so players can chose which one they prefer. Not sure what you mean with the separate strip of the value of Thorns, as having Thorns work like that sounds a bit strange. Do you mean the Mode Shift Gauge? As I can see that working with fitting that between the block and HP gauges.
