So about those character cards and how they should be. [Book and Game Series Spoilers]
I've been wanting to do this thread for a while but we didn't know what Gaunter does exactly until yesterday ,, feel free to give your own ideas about these cards.
===============
[h=1]Regis[/h]
Regis is a powerful Higher Vampire ,,IMO his card should be a hero that changes form after the end of each round. so the first round he'd be 4 strength ordinary human-like form then in the second round he changes into higher vampire form (8 strength) and the last round he'll become the big bat vampire form (12 strength) .
you might say it's OP but in total it's just 24 strength and cdpr could nerf it a little although I don't think there's anything wrong unless we compare it to Zoltan:The Brawler who should be 7 strength instead of the current 6 strength he has.
===============
[h=1]Schirrú[/h]
[h=1]this card is fine but the ability should be in Skellige since they benefit from self-scorch for the empower-revenge units like Madman Lugos and An Craite Warriors ,, therefore I think the ability for Schirru should be: regular Scorch that can be reused since Scoiatael have low numbers anyway and it's unlikely that their units would be protecting your opponent from Scorch .. so I think that's a win-win situation for both factions.[/h]======================
[h=1]Odrin[/h]
i understand that this is more of a fun card but that's if it was neutral ,, it's Northern Realms' equivalent of Skellige's Draig Bon-Dho and Scoiatael's Morenn ,, a character with the +2 to every one on its row (encourage effect) and it's not as valuable nor as reliable as these two ,, heck it's not even better than regular encourage troops despite having 2 more strength points it negates that by being totally unreliable
the way to fix this card is not by simply buffing its strength but rather giving it a better effect that makes it worth the risk of having it change its row so : a +4 to every unit on its row sounds reasonable.
==============
[h=1][/h] [h=1]Gaunter O'Dimm[/h]
[h=1]
[/h]
spawns 3 shadows (similar to W3 ones) except that they only have vanilla 2 strength and are split into ranged (2 units) and melee (1 unit) ,, Gaunter should be a hero with very interesting effects since he can stop time instead of a boring and seemingly useless summon effect ,, the possibilities are endless with what many consider the undisputed most powerful figure in the Witcher universe but an example would be: when played skips the player's next turn without making you pass the round .
===========================
[h=1]Nenneke[/h]
this card seems ok but when you look at Skellige's counterpart (Sigfrida) it seems somewhat lacking ,, considering how skilled of a healer Nenneke is I was surprisedto see Shani as the hero medic for NR ,, but anyway I think this card should have some interesting ability other than 4 strength ,, a single-use double medic since Northern Realms relies on bonded abilities and these bonded cards are the easiest cards to scorch ,, I think that would make it both more fitting and as important for NR decks as Sigfrida is for Skellige.
============================
[h=1]Vesemir (Eskel,Lambert)[/h]
Vesemir is one of 3 (8 strength ) regular muster cards alongside Eskel and Lambert .
I'd really prefer that they use other witchers for this kind of muster and the perfect pick would be Witchers from the school of the cat since they strayed from their path and became hired assassins ,, our dear witchers from the school of the wolf should have unique abilities for each one of them that fits their characters and I would make them heroes too since they deserve the hero tag much more than the likes of Bloody Baron and you can easily make them heroes with interesting abilities but I'd settle for unique characters .
=================
[h=1][/h]
[h=1][/h] [h=1]Vabjorn and Olaf[/h]
I really don't see a connection between these two characters other than the possibility of Vabjorn changing form and becoming a bear like Olaf since he's a berserker ,, what buggs me even more is that they have a very interesting ability icon yet they're a regular muster ,, why would I want to take the two of them really unless they have some interesting ability that can be triggered via Mushroom for example or having a muster from the graveyard since they are bad scorch targets a regular muster is very impractical for just 2 cards .. I really hope cdpr changes them into an interesting combo or make them standalone and each of them have their own transformation or anyhting that's interesting because Vabjorn looks like a unique berserker and Olaf was much better in W3 but he should be nerfed but not like this.
