Urgh. This is one of the things where I think they should make a distinction because Martial implies use of force whereas Intrigue implies stuff like poisoning a rivals support base. The methodology is completely different and the idea that we would have to use a Martial NA to send an Intrigue hero to do subtle Intrigue things just strikes me as overly simplistic and silly.
Not really arguing against your overall thing of approval voting or even most of this point. Just felt the need to point out the complication that people making minor modifications is not wholly applicable as a reason since not everyone actually keeps up with the minutiae of the thread. There are plenty of voters who only check in once in a while or perhaps just look at the vote log or decide based on the major arguments brought to bearing. Minor tweaks (and paying attention to others' minor tweaks) would be more a thing that the heavily active voters would do. Mind you, Doofquest is still way more active as a whole than most quests I've been in which is why I said it doesn't wholly negate that point. This application would still have a non-negligible effect with how many active voters there are who follow everything - or at least mostly everything.
I'd be fine with it, but @kfrar is the one who made the plan.
While it's true that drive-by voters don't benefit, I know for a fact that a fair number of the votes the top 4 plans have right now are from people abandoning their plans as they've become less competitive to start voting for more competitive alternatives. That's about the level of attention necessary for tweaked votes to gain traction.
Not sure Roddy is the magic talisman type. He knows what he's about, when it comes to construction.
More complicated votes lead to fewer voters. It requires less effort to decide "Castle Good" than to construct an entire turn plan.
EAD let's actions crit at 85, not just 99
Wait, does it let the dice explode at 85+? Is that what you were referring to? I thought it lowered the crit success range (which is double the action's DC) by 15 points.
Weird formatting. That's not getting counted.
The problem is that we have a stackload of hero's with great bonuses, and Khan isn't good enough that its worth reducing his stats to take two actions when we could use his max bonus and try to go for a crit, especially when we have other heroes.
Have you had any more thoughts about it? Lizzy seems like she would just drag the quest down and Technor could offset that more.
We don't have any idea how we're supposed to.
Going to second this. While I do like my own plan more generally, the only thing I would be genuinely disappointed about if your plan won would be the lack of TECHNOR on the quest.
Nobody seems against it and I haven't seen anyone arguing in specific that they liked having psychoanalysis on Janus lee, so sure.
I would prefer having Technor join them on the quest.
