Pressure Watcher

Description
The goal
The goal of this mod is the creation of an ecosystem around the lonely Pressure Points card, which is the only original Watcher card that uses the Mark mechanic. The cards incentivize the addition of multiple Calm entry and exit cards because I always felt like Wrath and Divinity always steal the spotlight from their little brother.
A quick explanation of the Mark mechanic
Mark by itself doesn't do anything, it simply stacks to 999 without doing anything. To make it do something, there are specific cards to trigger it, we will call those 'triggers'. When you play a trigger, ALL enemies will lose HP equal to their current mark. You will want as many triggers in your deck as you can, since they can quickly end multi-enemies fights and bosses when they reach 40-50 Mark.
As all archetypes, you can't force runs to use these new cards, so it might require a bit of patience to get a run going with the new mechanics.
Content Added
The mod adds:
  • 10 new cards (3 common, 6 uncommon, 1 rare)
  • 3 new relics (1 common, 1 uncommon and 1 rare)
  • 1 new potion
Additional info
All the card art was made using a custom trained AI model named SlaySpireCards on Leonardo.ai, and all the names of the cards and relics are inspired by the Pokemon series, which I'm a huge fan of. If you find any bugs or you want to discuss the balance of the cards, please leave a comment below or contact me on Discord (ninomae_ray).

Hi, I was wondering if you were interested in making a version of this mod without the AI art? I think i'd feel a lot more comfortable using it without it - im fine if its even just recycling images from other spots in the game, other character cards, hell, even having no images. I just cant find myself using a mod with AI content in it, sadly

Hello!
I would advise removing mention of Pokemon being used as Inspiration. Nintendo has been going after several workshop mods for "Nintendo Content'< including mods that weren't Nintendo content but had screenshots or descriptions involving Nintendo properties.
