giving each ally an ability?
I find that in Shadow Era it's very difficult to suggest new allies without making some we already have obsolete. The problem is greater with small cost allies, because the range of values for attack & health is too small. Example: We want to give the humans another 2 cost ally. If we make him 2/3 with an extra ability, then everyone will drop Puwen and go with the new ally. If we make him 2/2, then his ability will have to be so balanced that it won't make him useless, and at the same time not too powerful compared to Puwen. Which may prove more difficult than it sounds.
So if we give an ability to every ally (Puwen, Brutalis, Blake...), even if it is a minor one, it could make the balancing process easier. A 2/3 ally who cannot be targeted by mage abilities, a 2/3 ally who gets +1 damage against Warriors, a 2/3 ally who gets +1 health against Hunters, or a 2/3 ally who restores 1 health to the hero when he dies facing a shadow hero. Perhaps my examples are not the best, but you get the idea. Tell me what you think.
