Balance Tweaking
Different campaigns may require varied balance considerations due to varying play styles and game focuses among different groups. If you find that a Cloak character is either over- or under-performing in your games, here are some suggestions to adjust the balance accordingly.
Your Cloak is Over-Performing
- Reduce Solo Operative’s Support base amount from 4 to 3.
- Remove the cost reduction of the Attack chosen by Hidden Weapon.
- Remove the cost reduction of Movement while Cloak of Shadows is active.
Your Cloak is Under-Performing
- Reduce the cost of Solo Operative from 2 to 1.
- Change Smoke Bomb from rerolling the attackers die, to making the attack miss entirely.
- Give the chosen Attack from Hidden Weapon a damage increase of 1 or 2 in addition to its other properties.

- GrayThe truth is out there. It was a common enough phrase before the end of the world. In the final twilight of humanity, people begged for beings from beyond the stars to save them.
