Aug 24, 2010 22:01:09 I was looking at all the themes in the DSCS and I noticed something weird.
All the themes that have features that deal damage deal either 1[W] or one die of damage. Except for the Gladiator power Disruptinng Advance.
It deals 2[W]. Which in my mind is essentially double all the others. Furthermore the secondary role for the Gladiator is Defender. So this Theme out damages the striker themes and still has Defender effects added on. Think this is a misprint? Has this been addressed somewhere else and I just failed at finding it?

The other themes get better effects (at least some of them) to go with the 1W. Some powers are also ranged or melee (IIRC the minstrel one is), which makes them more versatile.

I don't mind the gladiator theme's 2W power. It would only be an issue in a one shot game that does not get over the 2nd level.

Not that I think it's too powerful, but just saying.

Except its a defender, not a striker theme.

Offence is the best defence.
