Gloves-off - Passive

Rogue takes her gloves off and grabs the enemy. She drains them of energy leaving them in a weaken state.
If no trap on the board, create a green trap. If the enemy matches the trap, then enemy is drained 60% of their strongest color.
For every 6 AP drained, stun the target for 1 turn, steal 1 ap of strongest color and damage for 500 HP.

Level 2 - 70% of enemy’s strongest AP
Level 3 - 80% of enemy’s strongest AP
Level 4 - 90% of enemy’s strongest AP
Level 5 - 100% of enemy’s strongest AP

Nice spec. Could use an editing pass though.

I like the idea of a passive trap. It would be scary to match green against her once you collect some AP. That puts a really fresh and unique pressure on the game. I wish the effects were a bit simpler or more streamlined. Like just a 1 turn stun and then gain some of the stolen AP.

I think the stuns would change strongest power color, which gives Green more dynamic. Black is fine.

I like Yellow as a simple way to represent Rogue’s power borrowing and not be too broken. Hard to make it improve over 5 levels without going overboard, I think just keeping it equal to the borrowed power’s cost, level and effects would be best. Lower cost might be too much.

Thanks for the reply @erikpeter. I think the lower costs would be nice considering you don’t know what you’d be getting every time you play her. And for some that could be frustrating enough to never actual play. 2 less AP seems pretty reasonable especially when paired with another character that could lower it even further.
