The power is real similar to the Tomb Skeletons just adding attack instead of reducing defense.

Is the intent to allow the dice to stack? If an opponent's figure is engaged with 5 friendly figures, his attack would become 8 (9 with height, 10 with height/glyph)? If so, maybe there should be a maximum addition of 3 dice or something.

Yes, he does have Minotaur bonding, but I could also see this guy getting play in a non-Minotaur army as a cheap filler. I really like the 30 point threshold, I'm just thinking the huge attack potential might be too much for 30 points.

Great start!

Yes, the intent is to stack. Maybe put the clause to a max of 3 add die.

Name suggestion: Apeo

Apis is the Egyptian bull god . . . I just gave it a Greek/Minoan twist.

Thank you for the suggestion. OP changed.

Class: Young - Since Tecer and the Minotaurs are beasts, what do you think about Apeo being the same class? This way he bonds with arrow gruts like Tecer.

Personality: Wild/Reckless - if he is Reckless, then he would bond with the Pirates. I think I prefer wild at this point. Although he doesn't seem overly wild in his play. He throws down his heavy attack when he has strength of friendly figures engaged with the defender. So, in thinking about how he would be used on the battlefield, Apeo seems a little Cunning/Cautious/Wary/Discreet/Alert/Shrewd to me. He kind of lurks behind and then finds an opportunity to safely engage and deliver a blow.

ENHANCED BATTLE AXE
If Apeo starts his turn unengaged you may add 1 to his attack value for every friendly figure engaged to the defending figure up to a maximum of +3.

What do you think about he power name and flipping a couple of clauses in the text?

Beast works for me as his class.
Personality, Cunning is good.

The wording is awesome and the power name works. OP updated.

Sounds good to me. I will start working on the card . . .

Derek, please send me a high-quality pic of Apeo that you would like on the card.

This is where he is at for final editing.  Don't really see anything that warrants a change.

Thumbs up from me to call him good as is.

Bio- When the Minotaurs war they often have the young watch from afar so they can learn the ways of battle. During one such battle Apeo watched helplessly as one warrior after another fell, including Apeo's older brother who was surrounded by the enemy. Heartbroken, Apeo vowed that when he joined the ranks of the fighting he would always look to aid his brethren in the most trouble.

Apeo's card . . .?

Looks good.

Just a couple of suggestions . . .

I propose that Apeo be considered Final.

Will add the bio to the OP. Should we add a comma

ENHANCED BATTLE AXE
If Apeo starts his turn unengaged you may add 1 to his attack value for every friendly figure engaged to the defending figure, up to a maximum of +3.

New card with the comma inserted, which is the same as the other cards with limitations use. Good catch.

If you guys agree, I believe this guy is ready to go.

Approved!

Approved.

Apeo is up on Heroscapers.
