  • [X] Plan: Angry Dragon Pinchy Claws
    -[X] Secondary Objectives: Capture the Priest if possible, any other surrenders are as opportunity allows. Try not to let any escape.
    -[X] Strategy: Ryza circles around to the northeast and transforms using Anger for Three Turns before attacking. To draw attention and pin the enemy formation in place, while our main force moves in to ambush them from the Southwest. Ryza prioritizes archers during this period as best as she can, bombarding with dragonbreath.

Alright, one day out and only one plan so far. I will warn you that Anger is the least-controlled of the emotions, so it's possible Dragon-Ryza'll go out of control if left to her own devices.
 
... Now I'll admit that I'm concerned.

Maybe scale it down to Determination? I think that'll still be enough to get good results, especially if the Spearmen don't get to contribute dice.

Determination is most likely the one we use the most of the 3 outside of specific circumstances.

I feel like Determination is controlled enough that we could probably take the risk of a transformation that lasts too long without it being too much of a problem. If you want to err on the side of not untransforming too soon.

Didn't vote for a while, but I think I agree with determination over anger.
