BATTERY	[M:Ev1n3]	Adds Bases To Total

You have the power of reserves.  As a main player in a challenge, you add the
number of bases (including home bases) that you own and the number that each
of your allies owns to your total in the challenge.

Wild: As a main player you may add the number of your bases (including home
bases) to your total in the challenge.

Super: Each base of your own and your allies adds two to your total in the
challenge.

CENSOR	[O:Ev1n3]	Bans A Card Class

You have the power to ban. Whenever you are a main player or an ally in a challenge,
before cards are played, you may call out one class of cards (Edicts, Flares,
Kickers, Attack Cards or Compromise Cards) that neither main player may use for
the remainder of the challenge.  If you ban Attack or Compromise Cards and 
your opponent's only remaining challenge card(s) are Attack or Compromise Cards
he may use this/these card(s) by showing you that he has no other challenge 
cards of the opposite type in has hand.  He does not have to show you the 
banned card(s).

Wild: Once per challenge you may use this card to stop a player from 
playing any one card.  The card is returned to his hand and a different 
card may be played instead.  If the player is one of the main players,
and the card stopped is the players last 
challenge card then he can still play it by showing all of the other players
that it is his last challenge card.

Super: You call out two classes of cards that cannot be used for the 
remainder of the challenge.  You cannot ban both Attack Cards and Compromise
Cards in the same challenge.

VISA	[O:Ev1n3]	Sends Bases Home

You have the power to send home. As a main player in a challenge, before challenge 
cards are revealed, you may return one of your opponent's bases to his home
system.  All of his tokens on that base are moved to a planet on his home 
system where he has no tokens.  Players with five home bases are not affected
by your power.

Wild: As a main player or an ally in a challenge, you may make your 
opponent keep the challenge card he just played
rather than discarding it.

Super: You may return one of your opponents bases home even if he already
has five home bases.

MARTYR	[O:Ev1n3]	Sacrifices Tokens To Play Extra Challenge Cards

You have the power to sacrifice. As a main player in a challenge, before cards are 
played, you may choose to sacrifice (remove to the warp) any or all of your
tokens involved in the challenge.  For each token sacrificed, you may play 
an additional attack card to be added to your total in the challenge.

Wild: As the offensive player in a challenge, before you play your card, 
you may sacrifice any or all of your tokens in the cone to the warp, drawing
one card from the deck for each.

MEDUSA	[M:Ev1n3]	Eliminates Opponent's Challenges

You have the power of paralysis. If you lose a challenge as a main player, your
opponent must lose his next challenge. If your opponent is the offensive
main player and, he defeats you on his first challenge he cannot take his
second challenge. If your opponent defeats you outside of his normal turn
he is paralyzed once for each such victory against you. At the start of his
turn, if he has been paralyzed only once, he begins his turn normally. 
However, if it is possible for him to make a second challenge that turn he
cannot. If he is unable to make a second challenge on that turn, then he
still retains that one paralysis. At the start of his turn, if a player has
been paralyzed twice he loses his entire turn. Until his turn has been 
skipped, such a player cannot be paralyzed again. A player may Cosmic Zap
you at what would have been the start of his second challenge and, thus,
regain his second challenge. Similarly, a player may Cosmic Zap you at what
would have been the start of his turn and, start his turn normally. However,
he could not take a second challenge unless he zapped you again at what 
would have been the start of his second challenge. In both cases, the
retained paralysis is lost by that player when he zaps you.

Wild: If you win a challenge as a main player, your opponent may not use 
his power for the next two challenges.

Super: Your opponent must lose his next challenge regardless of whether
you win or lose the current challenge.

;
; Power was rewritten to make it more workable and less oppressive.
; Wild is Wild Gorgon from Encounter V1#5.  Super is Nick Sauer's.

SATELLITE	[O:Ev1n3:2]	Moves Cards Around Table
 
You have the power to orbit. As a main player in a challenge, you may declare that
all players must pass their highest (or lowest) attack card clockwise or
counter-clockwise.  A player without attack cards must pass a compromise
card.  A player without challenge cards must pass a kicker or (if he has
no kickers) an Edict.  A player with only Flares must pass one.  A player 
with no hand does not participate in the "orbit".

Restriction: Do not use in a two-player game.

Wild: Once per challenge, you may make all players pass all of the Flares
in their hand clockwise or counter-clockwise.

Super: You may make all of the other players reveal their highest and lowest
attack cards before deciding the "orbit".
