Having forsaken their physical training for arcane studies, these Mages have mastered the element of Electricity. Their mighty incantations can call lightning down from the skies, striking fear into even the most powerful of enemies.

Magic Attack: This attack calls down a lightning bolt which strikes a single tile, and cannot be blocked except by Barriers.

Range?

[†Tao Veteran†]

He already said his range was 5.

[johannhowitzer]

Ah, missed it.

This might not have the area damage potential of a Pyromancer due to only hitting one square, but if striking at only one enemy, this guy has 2 more HP, 5 more power, and 1 more range - given that the Pyro's range "stretches" by one due to pattern. 3% less blocking.

In other words, this would make a Pyromancer all but obsolete except in area-damage rushes and forest-fire tactics. Thus, overpowered.

It's basically a GA that probably wouldn't last as long.

[johannhowitzer]

But has more movement and no minimum range, and can't be blocked. :)

The "can't be blocked" part is what tips it over the edge from underpowered to overpowered.

[Dextero]

I've edited hp, power, and blocking to be lower.

[johannhowitzer]

OK, same power as a Scout. Ignores LOS with only one less range and is unblockable. Again, similar in application to a GA, but the unblockable factor is what makes it overpowered, not to mention the 3 movement makes it reach further than a GA. It's more squishy, but will it be in harm's way?

I think you might be drawing dead at this point... it's just not unique enough and overpowers or underpowers all units to which it's similar. Good try though.
