W3 Zard Manstabber- Released

Thematically, I am seeing the defensive aura a bit hard to overcome.

What about something like

War Chief Inspiration.

All small goblins you control within 2 clear sight spaces of Zard add 1 automatic shield when rolling defense die against a normal attack.

Something along these lines anyways.

I would prefer the +2 defense dice versus the Auto Shield.

I concur. The +2 defense dice is my preference as well, which is less beneficial than the auto shield.

We had a couple of good play tests, I think Zard is just about good to go (we can wait to release until the bio is done, or release with bio forthcoming). But, after the play tests, I have a few suggestions:

Personality: Vigilant (Vicious doesn't seem to fit his defensive power).
Medium 4

Life: 4
Move: 7
Range: 1
Attack: 3
Defense: 3
70 Points

DARK VISION
When Zard Manstabber attacks a figure on a shadow space, add 1 to his attack.

GOBLIN DEFENSE AURA
Each small Goblin you control within 2 clear sight spaces of Zard Manstabber receives 2 additional defense dice.

SCALE
When moving up or down levels of terrain, Zard Manstabber may add 2 to his height.

Here is an updated card with my suggestions, improved fogging, and a better background.
