    Questions to Answer:

    What role is this Rune intend to fill?
    • Why isn't this Rune's role being fulfilled by similar Runes?
      This rune is meant to connect SP with other factions. After my own opinion, SP needs more champions that will Work in splits that are outside themes. It gives an possibility to combine G'hern with Minotaurs.. And because of it's upgrade path it will provide possibilities to throw into a SP split with other factions together with some of the G'hern (mostly) support units like G'hern General, Sustainer, Thrower etc.
    • How is this Rune different from what is already in Pox Nora?
      It's a connection for SP splits mainly, since i find it hard to find good SP champions to throw into a split. I find most SP units fits in their theme.. and not much outside of the theme.
    • How is this Rune competitive and why would it be used over other Runes?
      It's competive in that way, that it'll grants moility to G'herns in a minotaur bg for example.. Granting the g'herns ability to use Dimension doors for a short period of time. In this split it'll give a full-theme with minotaur/g'herns the possibility to get some range into the bg. Which isn't Minotaurs strong side.
    • What makes this Rune unique and fun to use?
      Personally i find G'herns and minotaurs extreamly fun to play. And combining them would be hillarious! I can imagine myself playing a SP/UD split ALOT and really enjoy the G'herns support & range and the minotaurs mobility & power.

    Please leave some suggestions or some feedback. I'm not sure about the Nora prices.
    I like the idea about this rune.. And since ALOT of people dont like G'herns without mogas.. how do u feel about G'hern with minotaurs? :)
    - Another thing im not completely sure about is the Surge: Minotaur, Surge: G'hern and the runes Base dmg... G'hern & minotaurs are not races that swarms around the map... but maybe base dmg is too high?
    - Just another thing.. is that i'm a bit afraid of the other G'herns base dmg.. i'm thinking about an ability to boost g'herns slightly.

    Interesting idea. But to make g'hern and minos work I'd assume you'd have to make some abillity adjustments and implement new spells.

    Honestly, I didn't love the champion itself - Identity Illusion seems very one sided by letting Ghern use Doors, but what does a minotaur gain from being a Ghern?

    What really intrigued me was the idea of an equip that, given to its hero, costs MORE in exchange for a huge chunk of abilities. That's new design space.

    A Ghern gains Overseer: Moga, alowing you to use Mino instead of Ghern in a Moga bg....

    Sorry, does being G'hern automatically grant that? For example; Violent is the draksar racial, but not all Draksar have it.

    Then again, becoming a Draksar through Taint makes your unit violent. Unless it was a nonviolent Draksar. In which case it remains placid. Either way, it should work the way you said, and I'm sure it can be coded as such; that's a pretty sweet interaction I didn't think about.

    Yeah, you're right... I didn't check all of the Ghern to see if all have Overseer: Moga, but maybe a little change in the "Identity Illusion" ability will solve this:

    Identity Illusion: Target a real frindly champion, if it's race was Minotaur, give him Overseer: Moga 1 for 2 turns, if it's was Ghern, he can use Dimension Doors.

    Something like this... What do you think?
