[QUOTE="Shayuri, post: 3652948, member: 4936"] I'm thinking that having both rooks, of the same color, could be stoneskin and fire shield... Having one might give Barkskin (white) and Body of the Sun (Black). Though...that kind of hoses black a little. Maybe that Balor spell that wreathes you in fire, but doesn't give protection from anything... Similarly, one Bishop might give Cure (Inflict) Moderate Wounds, two could upgrade the effect to Critical. I like the Phantom Steed effect for Knights. Queens look good... The King is the crucial piece....perhaps they can break the power limit a bit? Harm and Heal, perhaps? As for pawns...what if they orbit you like ioun stones, each one giving 5 temp hit points that stack with other pawns (only)? When one's temp HP is depleted, it falls lifeless to the floor until it can be activated again. That sort of makes them similar to how they work in chess...cannon fodder, mostly...useful to block other pieces and be sacrificed, and more useful in greater numbers. [/QUOTE]
