    Class restrictions

    The last game i played, a hunter player stole lone wolf with an armor and played it. Despite of the narrative nonsense, i'm not against stealing things, even if cards that switch cards (dimension ripper) just rip off the hand without effective strategy.
    But i'm strongly against letting a character being able to use an ability of another class. If you find this cool, create a card that allows to take an additional class and use this second class abilities, but this open stealing is just breaking a game.

    For the example above, it is hard to resist to hunter bows with a wulven deck, if it can steal a key card like lone wolf and regenerate as good as the wulven, there's no chance left for the lupus... yes, i know, i can destroy the card, i've done it anyway, but the experience choked me. As an elemental deck steals a class ability and plays it. i would rather have cheaper ∕ easier stealing cards for classes that steal and apply a class restriction, because in Shadow Era, there isn't a card for everything, each class have its logic, its edges and its hindrances, i think the best is to keep this logic on the whole level. class abilities are like armors and weapons, they would be used only by characters of the selected class.

    Thanks for reading,

    Read the first part. Just thought I'd say, by not being able to use class restriction, you would completely cancel cards out like Transference, Night Prowler and Dimension Ripper. And any cards to come relating to this future.

    I think it should not be changed, rather the wording of the rules should be changed to "You cannot build a deck with cards not following your restrictions."

    Well then you'll be sad to hear there are at least 3 classes that can steal, likely with another on the way.

    Cheers

    Finally a kindred spirit. But my friend we're too few to be heard, and in a world where democracy rules, the minorities have little chance to make a change.
    To answer to Fiend's claim that some cards would be cancelled, I have to answer that stealing a card would still be better than discarding, because you have a 25-30% chance to be able to play the card, you prevent the enemy from playing a card that could change the game, and in the worst case, you can sacrifice it for resource.

    To Fiend I say that you are misinterpreting what he is saying, not that I agree with him. You are saying that total removal of class restrictions is a bad thing, which I disagree with. But more to the point, he is just saying that if a hero steals a card and it happens to not be from his class he shouldnt be allowed to play it. But that is how it is right now. And it WOULD make transference worthless because all the other player will get to do is resource it.

    That's my point. =|

    And at Anurak, I really have no response. Guess I didn't think it through enough :P

    Actually Anurak didn't think it through well enough. I can't be bothered to go in to all the implications of changing it and just how crappy it would make any steal cards, but maybe you can convince Sisyphos to elaborate.

    I do agree that with class restrictions, some stealing cards should be modified (as they have been modified before, because the elemental abilities were too... uber ?). With rogues coming, nightprowler and such stealing abilities will grow up, so before all people play rogues in 1.26 as all people played elemental in 1.24, we can think about it no ?

    There was a lot of debate about the first strike logic of Shadow Era, maybe some global changes have to be made for a better future.

    And if all prefer open stealing, i'm agreeing with Sorter : delete abillities restrictions (and weapons / armors / class allies).

    But the current gameplay emphasises to play 4-card series based decks with no risk and no surprise. (ok they can steal my must-be-played cards, no worries, i have another issues coming).
