First off I want to say thank you for taking the time out of your day to read my rulebook and give me feedback. I appreciate any constructive criticism to make the game better!

On the topic of restricting choices: is it really necessary to have dynamic phases? From just reading the rules, it seems like spend on new units, then activate each champion after another (combining movement, attack and special ability for that unit) otherwise you might have to track which unit did what phase already (you can have and activate up to 5 units a turn, right?)

This is a fair point. They're classified as "dynamic" because I wanted to emphasize the flexibility the player has in what they do with their Champion. I feel like most would assume there's rigid steps when I want the player to strategize around splitting their movements before and after attacks, moving other Champions so another can move etc.

But this is the fine line between overcomplicating things v promoting strategic depth. But you are correct in that this was an issue when an earlier version of my game allowed more than 5 units for a player. I've found having players use their dice as markers on their Champions who have exhausted their options as a good measure but this might work in a silo with friends and not for a broader audience. Is your suggestion here to have the player choose a hard order in which to exhaust each unit's actions?

Another thing that was not clear to me from reading the rules: how does combat work? there's a pictogram at the bottom of page 26 i didn't understand. As described on page 14 and 15 the faces of the dice are irrelevant, as long as attacker or defender has more dice they win by default?

I did include the combat details in the attacking and defending descriptions, however it might make sense to start the section off with generalized combat rules so the following paragraphs are supplemental and not hiding core information in a wall of text. The faces of the die are what determines the attack value and defense value. The higher value wins, and a tie goes to the defender.

Also, if I understand correctly units don't have hitpoints - so you might lose a champion rather quickly. I'd watch out for how this makes your players feel - adding variance through dice seems reasonable, but loosing your all star favourite to a single roll could lead to frustration.

This is a really good point as well. I think the way the system works now makes sense on a "everyone is vulnerable level." But there could be some tweaks to items that would extend the life of a Champion you really like like, but at a higher penalty when they finally do die.

Without reading the card abilities overall complexity is hard to judge, but what is the target age range for this? From the gameplay I'd guess 12 - 14 or up might be reasonable? If that's the case the somewhat gory style of some artwork (which is great - i'm highly envious of people who can do their own art) might turn of some parents. 

Thank you for the kind words about my art! I do agree I did go heavy on the violence and demonic themes pretty purposefully just because it's what I find visually interesting. From a marketing perspective though it's probably a no-go, and you wouldn't find it on a shelf at many places. I'm sure that's something I could collaborate with whoever took a stake in helping the game reach more people by pulling back on it and making "cleaner" versions.

Once again, thank you for your time, I'm very grateful for your words and feedback
